Ever been there before?
You get about halfway through a book and realize it’s not worth your time. But not only time, you also spent money and energy that you’ll never get back.
“What was I thinking?” you lament.
You wonder why you even bought the book.
This kind of stuff happens all-the-time to Christians.
I’m convinced that many would-be Christian readers aren’t reading simply because they don’t know where to start. But who can you blame? With so many books available, these days, it’s hard to decide what to read, and most importantly, what not to read.
So what do you do?
