Updated January 3. See below.
I’ve already made my January book order—here, the cold and dark make this month the best one for reading—but in case you’re still deciding what to read next, here are a few recently posted book lists that may help.
Enduring Trials
A list of books you may find helpful when “the rod and staff of God’s affliction weigh heavy” (Shane Lems).
Engaging Fiction
From Staci Eastin: “I read more fiction this year than I had in quite some time. I didn’t want to call the list my favorites, because that implies I closed each book with a happy sigh. But these are the book I found particularly engaging.”
Reading Retrospective
Lisa Spence posted a long list of her favorite reads from 2013.

norma normans non normata
Latin for “the norm of norms that is not normed”; used to describe Scripture as the standard according to which all other standards or rules of the Christian faith are measured, and the one standard which has no higher standard against which it is measured; frequently shortened to norma normans.
Chapter 1 - Of The Holy Scripture Being The True Word of God
SCRIPTURE TEACHES FULLY ALL GODLINESS. We judge, therefore, that from these Scriptures are to be derived true wisdom and godliness, the reformation and government of churches; as also instruction in all duties of piety; and, to be short, the confirmation of doctrines, and the rejection of all errors, moreover, all exhortations according to that word of the apostle, “All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof,” etc. (II Timothy 3:16-17). Again, “I am writing these instructions to you,” says the apostle to Timothy, “So that you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God,” etc. (I Timothy 3:14-15). SCRIPTURE IS THE WORD OF GOD. Again, the selfsame apostle to the Thessalonians: “When,” says he, “You received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men but as what it really is, the Word of God,” etc. (I Thess. 2:13) For the Lord himself has said in the gospel, “It is not you who speak, but the Spirit of my Father speaking through you”; therefore “He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me” (Matt. 10:20; Luke 10:16; John 13:20)
