50+ Notable 2018 Christian Books

The Preacher’s words in Ecclesiastes 12:12 have never been truer, “Of making many books there  is no end.” Even in Christian publishing, there are more new titles than we know what to do with. Because of this, I have combed through 2018 titles (and a few late 2017 ones) to share the ones that excite me the most. If I’m missing anything, tweet me and I will add other notable titles.
