It is now time for me to share with you the top 14 books of 2014! Although I kept an organized list of all the books I completed during the year, and even highlighted my favourites from each month, it was very difficult to come up with just 14 favourites.
So I didn't.
But I'm calling it the top 14 of the year.
Rules: All these books were NEW reads for me!
Because I read so few rereads this year (sadly enough),
I was able to tack them on at the end of the list.
As a bonus.
You're welcome.
Oh, and for those of you who don't know me, I assure you I am not boasting concerning what I've read and such.
If I wanted to boast, it would be about the fact that I remembered every author from my very own noggin without having to look them up. But I didn't remember every author so that would have to categorize as only half true.
Reading isn't too super-heroic for me and my kin (who all read constantly even before we had mastered the English language- or any language for that matter).
It's putting what I read into practice that's special.
Oh, and before you think I just broke my family's bank
fulfilling my reading needs, read this post.

Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus- Nabeel Quereshi
Quite interesting. I love reading salvation stories.
Ex-Muslim- Naeem Fazal
Both these books were good. I can't remember which I preferred
though. Sorry. Perhaps the first. yes.

The Nourished Kitchen- Jennifer McGruther
In the style of Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon-
lots of recipes and techniques!

(I know: so practical, right? But then again, I hope to someday be able to put into practice the truths learnt from this book!)
Excellent for wives and those hoping to be.

The Knock at the Door- Margaret Ajemian Ahnert
Armenia 1915 genocides biography
Heart-rending and exciting semi auto-biography. See my link above however as there was stuff not all readers should read.

Read it! It's an easy read, but full of foundational truths for the family!
Journey Through the Night- Anne DeVries
World War 2 Christian historical fiction...yes!
One of the top recommendations from 2014, I assure you!

Sweet and humorous children's adventure with the allure of fantasy.
Daisies Are Forever- Liz Tolsma
World War 2 fiction
This is the best Christian romance I've read. Like a movie.
Wouldn't recommend for young readers though.
Just 18 Summers- Rene Gutteridge and Michelle Cox
Loved this contemporary fictional book.
I guess it's inspirational fiction. We got a lot of laughs out of it. And inspiration.

The Heretic- Henry Vyner-Brooks
This ends up being such an exciting story! But see my review...there were some things...that weren't very conservative or tasteful. And it's hard to read aloud, so I don't know what your family is going to do! It's not a book you'll die if you don't read. Like with Robert Louis Stevenson's books. But it was good. Actually, what's odd is that it can't compare to Robert Louis Stevenson's adventures yet the salvation message in The Heretic was excellent!
