The monthly “Three for the Books” post is where I feature new (Hot Off the Presses), best selling (Topping the Charts), and award winning (Cream of the Crop) Christian fiction books. I select one title to feature in each category, as well as providing links to where you can browse additional newly released, best selling, and award winning titles. Have you read any of these featured titles? Any others you’d like to give a shout-out? Comments are always welcome!
Hot Off the Presses
A Time to Rise by Nadine Brandes released this month from Gilead Publishing. It’s the conclusion of the dystopian Out of Time series. Since this is a series you’ll want to read in order, you may want to start by checking out my review of the first book, A Time to Die. These novels are available in print and electronic editions.

Thanks for highlighting these books. Priceless was very good. My daughter works for Selah Freedom, a non-profit that works to help women escape sex trafficking. This novel opened my eyes to what she sees every day. (The team that put Priceless/the movie together, has recommended Selah.) I have had Luther and Katharina on my shelf for too long. My book club chose it for next years’ reading. Yay!
Wow, Beckie, you must be so proud of your daughter, making a difference like that!
I’m listening to the audiobook edition of Priceless right now. It’s quite an eye-opener.
