Fall 2024 Connection Reading List

Four books to add to your fall reading list 

This fall, we’re focusing on creating connection in our lives — and here at The Bookery that definitely means we’re going to reading! Here are a few of the books about building connection and deepening relationships we’ll be adding to our TBR list. 

The Life We’re Looking For: Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World

Andy Crouch

This book has been on our personal reading lists for a while, but The Life We’re Looking For is a  perfect addition for this fall as we focus on connection. We live in a world where we are simultaneously the most connected generation and possibly the loneliest and most disconnected. In this book, Andy Crouch explores how we can truly develop the deep relationships we long for in a technological world that values shallow connection, speed and efficiency. Get your copy. 

Now and Not Yet: Pressing in When You’re Waiting, Wanting, and Restless for More

Ruth Chou Simons

“Is this really … it?” If you’ve ever found yourself asking that question as you look at your life, this may be the book to add to your TBR list this fall. Sometimes, our sense of disconnection comes from discontent or confusion about where we are in life—whether we feel far from where we should be or unable to embrace the present because we’re so focused on our goals. Rather than just wallowing in the discontent, Ruth Chou Simons invites us in Now and Not Yet to press in to the right now rather than checking out, helping us to see why “right now” really matters—and, more importantly, how God can use it.

I Surrender All

Priscilla Shirer

So many things vie for our attention in today’s world—and in the midst of it all, it’s easy to feel a little disconnected from our relationship with Christ. In her most recent book, I Surrender All, Priscilla Shirer invites us to refocus and recommit, inviting us to surrender everything to Jesus. As most reviews say, it’s not just a book, but rather a call to action and decision, to radically surrender your heart, life, goals and dreams to Jesus. Get your copy.

Habits of the Household

Justin Whitmel Earley

Habits of the Household is a parenting book, but it’s about the disconnect between how you long to parent and the reality of your everyday life. Earley’s purpose is to help families create habits and daily rhythms that help you develop a home characterized by peace, purpose and love. Get your copy.
