Thanks for the mention, Krista! I love that more Christian Booktubers are incorporating Christian readalongs and book clubs. It gives us even more opportunity to grow and learn together! ☺️
Ooooh, great choices. My library actually has four out of the five and one of my reading goals was to read at least four non-fiction books! Woohoo! Both the November choices sound great but my library has Tell Her Story, so I'm voting for that one. 🙂
So excited to see your choices!! Whisper sounds really good! I’ve seen the movie for The Case for Christ, but haven’t read it. I vote Tell Her Story for Nov!
I am so excited to read Defiant Joy. I have to read 10 pages of Nonfic a day as part of my 75 medium challenge. I am loving it and hoping it's a habit I can continue even after the challenge ends.
I'm glad! Would you be interested in joining me onscreen for Case for Christ? I usually try to have 3-5 other booktubers join me for the discussions each week. Let me know and I can get you more details.
I listened to Remember God years ago and thought it was so beautiful and raw! I vote for Tell Her Story for November since I haven’t read that one. I really enjoy these Christian read-alongs. Thank you for doing them!
I'm so excited Krista! I wanted to join y'all last year but my schedule just didn't work out but I still read the books! Ty for introducing us to new Christian authors!
I think that Tell Her Story sounds so powerful! That is my vote for November. All the read along choices sound so good. I’m excited to continue reading in 2025.
FYI, Kindle has Defiant Joy for $1.99! I loved The Case for Christ, and the others sound great. My November vote is Tell Her Story. I’m so excited your doing this again, Krista! I hope it blesses your year!
I will be joining in Feb, found the book on Hoopla 😊 I’ve read Remember God and thought it was great! I really enjoy Annie’s podcast as well. Tell Her Story sounds very powerful as well!
Thanks Oceana. I'd love to have you again! I marked you down. Not sure if we'll be doing Remember God or Tell Her Story yet though. I'll keep you posted.
If I’m able to join into the reading in November I vote for the Annie F Downs book. I read it a few years ago and liked it very much. I’m most excited about the Matt Batterson one.
I will join you for your February read about joy. I have to check my library for the book. I hope they will have it. I am currently reading a book that relates to your word for the year. It's called "The Joy You Make by Steven Petrow." I really recommend this book, I think you will really enjoy it. I am annotating so many quotes. This one really sticks with me. "Many of us don't sense joy. We don't know how to become open to it, how to seek it, or how to share our longing for it. And often, even when it comes, we do not feel free to express it." 😊
Stasi Eldredge is the wife of Author John Eldfedge “ Wild at Heart”..such a wonderful book for all boys and men, but a WONDERFUL BOOK FOR WOMEN TO READ TO UNDERSTAND BOYS/ MEN. With the Case For Christ…I would suggest the book by Detective J Warren Wallace…wrote about the crucifixion of Jesus through a detective’s investigation.
After we decide the November book, can we move the remaining book to next year? All of these look good to me. With all the drama in my life last year, I wasn’t active in my learning. But I certainly want to atone for that this year.
@@BooksAndJams I thought it was weird too. I checked the subsciption all was highlighted. I'll check to see if I get notification on your next video. If not, I'll unsub and resub again. Maybe it's a glitch?
I'm curious why you're not a fan of Annie Downs. Feel free to message me on IG or send me an email booksandjams@gmail.com if you don't want to say here.
The Kindle book for Deviant Joy is just 1.99. Here's the link - amzn.to/42tgk34

Ordered it, thank you, thank you. 🤗
Thanks for the mention, Krista! I love that more Christian Booktubers are incorporating Christian readalongs and book clubs. It gives us even more opportunity to grow and learn together! ☺️
It's so fantastic that more communities are sharing their faith and reading together!
Ooooh, great choices. My library actually has four out of the five and one of my reading goals was to read at least four non-fiction books! Woohoo! Both the November choices sound great but my library has Tell Her Story, so I'm voting for that one. 🙂
Thanks! I'm glad you can get them at your library.
I vote for Tell Her Story!! I love this lineup! So timely for where I'm at in my spiritual journey right now. Thank you!!!
Yes, Defiant Joy is $1.99 on kindle right now, and the Lee Strobel book is part of Kindle Unlimited! Looking forward to reading along with everyone.

Definitely Remember God as I love Annie F. Downs and her work and books.
I am really looking forward to this…I have attempted to read The Case for Christ and watched the movie but look forward to delving in again.
I forgot there is a movie for The Case for Christ.
Got your vote. Thanks!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣️
You started us on this journey♥️
I love it! The more the merrier!
I’m happy I found this video. The Case For Christ has been sitting unread on my shelf for years so I look forward to this so much.
I'm glad! Would you be interested in joining me onscreen for Case for Christ? I usually try to have 3-5 other booktubers join me for the discussions each week. Let me know and I can get you more details.
@ Of course!
I will be joining the read along this year. Either book for November. Looking forward to joining you and everyone else.
So glad you'll be joining in this year!
I listened to Remember God years ago and thought it was so beautiful and raw! I vote for Tell Her Story for November since I haven’t read that one.

Thanks Maria. I'm looking forward to some more great reads together this year. Glad to hear you loved Remember God.
I'm so excited Krista! I wanted to join y'all last year but my schedule just didn't work out but I still read the books! Ty for introducing us to new Christian authors!
I'm so glad you've enjoyed even if you can't join the lives. I hope you're able to join in a bit this year if the schedule allows.
I vote for Remember God ❤

I’ve read Remember God and thought it was great! I really enjoy Annie’s podcast as well.
Tell Her Story sounds very powerful as well!
Sweet. Glad you'll be joining in.
Looking forward to Whisper and Case for Christ!
I'm glad to hear that a couple of these sound appealing to you.
The case for Christ is an amazing book and the movie had me in tears.
I forgot there was a movie. I'll have to figure out how to do a watch along if it's streaming somewhere. That would be fun.
@BooksAndJams I bought the movie on DVD. It's on Amazon if that helps😀
I also loved the movie!
I hope to join along this year!
I would vote for Tell Her Story.
Sounds good. I got your vote. Thanks, Molly.
I read defiant joy a couple of years ago and it was great. Hope you enjoy! Both of the november books sound really good, i vote for tell her story.❤
Thanks, Leigh. Got your vote.
Remember God sounds good- I vote for that in November
Thanks for your vote. Got it.
I would love to join The Case for Christ chat and the Remember God chat!!!
Thanks Oceana. I'd love to have you again! I marked you down. Not sure if we'll be doing Remember God or Tell Her Story yet though. I'll keep you posted.
Looking forward to this.
Me too! I always look forward to it each time it comes around.
I wasn't able last year, work adjustments, and life changes, but I would love to this year. Saving this page to come back to it.
Sweet! I hope you're able to join in.
If I’m able to join into the reading in November I vote for the Annie F Downs book. I read it a few years ago and liked it very much. I’m most excited about the Matt Batterson one.
Thanks for your vote. I hope these are all meaningful reads this year. We'll see!
Tell Her Story sounds great!
I agree! We'll see if that gets picked.
Remember God is my vote! I’ve read it before and I loved it!
I have heard such good things about it. We'll see!
Tell Her Story sounds fantastic!
I agree! We'll see if it gets picked.
Hey Krista! I would love to join in reading these books. I would like to read either of the books in Nov. Thanks for doing this! 😊
You're very welcome. I love getting to read with many of you.
Tell Her Story!
Thanks for your vote.
Both books for November look good. I'd love to join you that month no matter the book you choose. My vote is for Tell Her Story.

These are all great books. There is also a really good movie version of Lee Strobel's Case for Christ that came out about 5-6 years ago.
I forgot there was a movie. I need to figure out how to host a watch party. haha.
Tell her story, sounds great.
Thanks for your vote.
I vote for Tell her Story
Tell Her Story sounds really good
I hope it is. We'll see if that is what gets picked.
Would love to read the Annie F. Downs book!
Thanks. got your vote.
❤❤❤
Tell Her Story has my vote. I’m also going to purchase Remember God. Maybe it could be a 2026 read
Thanks for your vote. I like the idea that whichever book doesn't get picked can go into next years stack.
I will join you for your February read about joy. I have to check my library for the book. I hope they will have it. I am currently reading a book that relates to your word for the year. It's called "The Joy You Make by Steven Petrow." I really recommend this book, I think you will really enjoy it. I am annotating so many quotes. This one really sticks with me.

That's a great quote. I will have to look into that book. Thanks, Linda.
I vote Tell Her Story. I found it on Hoopla.
Thanks for your vote!
Nov. Remember God
Got it. Thanks for your vote.
I vote for Remenber God for November.

Haha. Got it. Thanks, Tricia!
I would like to read Remember God
Thanks for your vote.
Stasi Eldredge is the wife of Author John Eldfedge “ Wild at Heart”..such a wonderful book for all boys and men, but a WONDERFUL BOOK FOR WOMEN TO READ TO UNDERSTAND BOYS/ MEN.
With the Case For Christ…I would suggest the book by Detective J Warren Wallace…wrote about the crucifixion of Jesus through a detective’s investigation.
Thanks, Norma. I read Wild at Heart ages ago. I was thinking Staci was John Eldredge's wife.
😉
I think the Kindle Sale is on a different Defiant Joy. At least in Canada it is a different author for the one on sale.
I put the link in the comments and pinned it to the top. I am not sure if it will work for Canada, but it is this book that is just 1.99 right now.

Loved Case for Christ! I wish every nonbeliever would read it….
I can't believe I haven't read it. It's been on my shelves for ages. This is the year!
I think I've participated with Tozer years ago.
I loved that one!
@@BooksAndJams yes. And it was the first time I had heard of Tozer! From your channel.
Vote for Tell Her Story
Thanks for your vote, Katrina.
After we decide the November book, can we move the remaining book to next year? All of these look good to me. With all the drama in my life last year, I wasn’t active in my learning. But I certainly want to atone for that this year.
That's a great idea for the November books, Katie. thanks!
How does one access the book groups for the discussions?
The discussions will be live here on my channel on Sunday afternoons in the months we're reading - Feb, May, Aug, and Nov.
Hi Krista,
Which order are you reading each of these books? I bought Deviant Joy and I have Remember God. Thank you!
Defiant Joy will be in Feb. May will be Whisper. August Case for Christ and Nov is not yet decided.
Just a heads up, I'm not getting notifications for your videos. 🤔
Weird. You have the bell clicked? I'm not sure why that's happening.
@@BooksAndJams I thought it was weird too. I checked the subsciption all was highlighted. I'll check to see if I get notification on your next video. If not, I'll unsub and resub again. Maybe it's a glitch?
You can't get defiant joy on Libby
I know the Kindle version is just 1.99 if you have that option. I pinned a link in the top of the comments.
I would be more apt to read Tell Her Story. I am not a huge fan of Annie F. Downs.
I'm curious why you're not a fan of Annie Downs. Feel free to message me on IG or send me an email booksandjams@gmail.com if you don't want to say here.
@@BooksAndJams No big reason! I just don't connect well to her writing! :)
I read The Case For Christ a couple years ago. I am ready to reread.
I can't believe I haven't read it yet!
