Last week I reflected on the best books I read this year, and this week I look forward to a number of interesting Christian titles coming out in 2022.
The following list is curated according to what I found most interesting by poking around social media and a few publishers’ website, meaning it has gaping holes. (I only have one book from the Ortlund brothers, and it may not be from who you think!) Let me know what other titles you would add.
