What is the Best Book to Gift?
Ask a few questions to find their reading preference. Do they enjoy Christian fiction? If so, which genre? Historical fiction? Speculative? Contemporary or historical romance? Women’s or Contemporary Fiction? Mystery? Suspense? Or?
Knowing their genre preference is a good place to start with fiction. Nonfiction audiences might be easily satisfied with a gift book. Those fit across a broad range of audiences. There are Christian living, Bible studies, and other Christian nonfiction. Those tend to be more in-depth, but folks still love them.
Is Gifting a Book a Good Idea?
It depends on the person, but gifting a book is often a good idea. Consider a person’s circumstances and reading preferences when selecting the appropriate title.
Some folks prefer audiobooks over physical books. There are always ebooks for those on the go, who love special Kindle deals, or who prefer the e-option.
All of the below titles make fantastic presents. Many are available in audio and/or ebook format as well. Perhaps one or a few will satisfy your gift-giving needs.
