It’s that time of year again! We loved spending 2023 poring over God’s Word with you. To celebrate, here’s a list of your favorite books of the year (also known as our bestsellers).
Take a look at each one below, and maybe pick out a few for your Christmas list!
This beloved storybook was the first title released in the Tales that Tell the Truth series. It captivates children’s imaginations with the story of the first Christmas—and the promise that God made, and kept, to send a perfect and loving King to rescue his people.
We’ve created lots of related resources to help you have even more fun sharing the story of the first Christmas with little ones. Check out our Sunday School lessons or grab the Advent calendar alongside the book with our storybook and Advent calendar bundle.
“We have loved this book so much we've started gifting it to others. It's a great retelling of the Christmas story and explains why Jesus is the Promise that Christmas really is about.” - TGBC Customer
As believers, we tend to disagree about a lot of things, big and small. How do we determine which issues are critical to the faith, and which are not? And what does it really mean to be a Christ-follower? Described by some as a modern take on Mere Christianity, Essential Christianity unpacks the heart of the gospel in 10 words. Perfect for the deconstructing Christian in your life!
Check out the free discussion guide to dive deeper into the book as a group (or on your own).
“It would be a brilliant present for a friend who is starting to think about faith, especially if they have lots of questions that they want to be answered! This will give them something to really get their teeth into. But I also think this would be a perfect refresher for a new believer or someone who feels like God feels distant.” - TGBC Customer
Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer is another beloved storybook in the Tales that Tell the Truth series. Written by Laura Wifler, this book teaches little ones that they can pray when they play and before they go to sleep, when they’re scared and when they’re happy.
You can now enjoy the book’s lessons about prayer in a family devotional format! Spend a few minutes each day going over questions about the biblical content, completing activities and praying together. To save, buy the family devotional alongside the storybook and four coloring books here.
“What I loved most about this book is how it places prayer within the story of the biblical narrative. God’s people have always talked to him, and God has always spoken to them.” - TGBC Customer
Christmas is a great time to share Christ with unbelieving loved ones in your life. In The Ultimate Christmas Wishlist, Rico Tice spells out the ways that Jesus offers us what we really want: hope, peace, purpose, and confidence.
We’ve priced this book specifically so that you can give it away as a church body or individually to friends and neighbors. To save even more for your ministry, learn how you can sign up for our Ministry Partners program!
“It is accessible and real, understanding the sort of life-pressures that people deal with, the reasons why they may need to know the true depth of meaning of Christmas, and it highlights that faith in Christ is a way to see past it all.” - TGBC Customer
Like The Ultimate Christmas Wishlist, Is Christmas Unbelievable? is perfect to give away to unbelieving loved ones. This book, however, unpacks the first Christmas to show skeptics that believing in things like a virgin birth isn’t as ridiculous as it might sound.
“I found this book to be confirming for my personal faith and compelling for the skeptics and unconvinced. I bought 50 more copies and gave 40 away this season. I will probably buy another 50 next year and start earlier. Thank you Ms. McLaughlin and Good Book for putting this excellent resource in my hands.” - TGBC Customer
Truth For Life is designed to supplement your daily time in the Word. In one page a day, Alistair Begg delivers key truths that point you closer to Christ.
If you liked volume 1, you’ll love Truth for Life - Volume 2. This edition is much like the first, but with a whole series of new insights from Alistair Begg. Carry it with you into 2024, and try giving the new gift edition of volume 1 to a loved one this Christmas.
“This isn't a light-hearted, make-you-feel-good devotional. This is truth that focuses on God, leads you to God, and keeps you in God's Word. Outstanding!” - TGBC Customer
The concept of grace can be difficult for little ones to understand. Author Melissa Kruger delivers this concept in a fun, easy-to-remember rhyming format that 3-7 year-olds love to read along to. For littler ones, try the board book version.
“We are absolutely thrilled that we stumbled across the book His Grace Is Enough. After getting our first few copies, we have ordered many additional copies to give away to different people because the message is so appropriate and timely and well presented. And for young or old!” - TGBC Customer
Think Is Christmas Unbelievable?, but make it Easter. In this small book, Rebecca McLaughlin argues for the historical validity of the first Easter. Give it away to your intellectual neighbors and skeptical friends to help warm the heart—and truth—of the Christian faith.
“This book hit the sweet spot for my friend who had wandered from the faith. She wanted to believe, but struggled with the resurrection and what it meant. I have ordered ten more to give to other friends.” - TGBC Customer
This beloved storybook essentially shares the one big story of the Bible, leading from the Garden of Eden up to the death and resurrection of Jesus—and the new creation that is to come. This book is a favorite to many!
This book has so many resources and related products that we can’t list them all here, but you can find curriculum, board books, coloring books and more at the link.
“We absolutely love the Tales that Tell the Truth series, but this book is our favorite. We go back to it time and time again. It gives my kids a complete view of Scripture as being one big story, rather than a bunch of unrelated individual stories.” - TGBC Customer
Teach your little ones your greatest dream—that whatever they do, they would love and follow Jesus—with this sweet rhyming storybook, which has quickly become a fan favorite of our readers.
Grab the board book version for toddlers, or pass our keepsake edition down to a graduating student. This version is also ideal to give to students as they enter school for the first time, so teachers and family members can paste notes and photos in it throughout their childhood.
“This book was a Christmas gift for our 3-year-old granddaughter. At our following visit, 3 months later, it's still a favorite book that she wants to hear every night!” - TGBC Customer
