I love a good book-turned-movie adaptation. I think it’s fun to see a new perspective on the visuals, the voices, and the everyday details of the setting. We may not always like the way the movie was handled, but they always make for good conversation. Here’s a list of a few Christian books that found their way to the screen for your reading (and watching) pleasure.

Same Kind Of Different As Me

The book version, published in 2006 by Thomas Nelson, was written by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent. It’s about Hall’s and Moore’s life journeys. The movie was released in 2017.

It’s about a couple whose marriage is on the rocks and a homeless man they meet at a local shelter. The movie is rated PG-13 for violence, language, and theme.

Fun Facts:

The movie didn't…

I may mention the term “Christian Book Angel” on the site and in the comments section sometimes and I just realized that if you aren’t subscribed to the newsletter you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. So, what is a Christian Book Angel? 

As most of you know, I took over the site a few short weeks ago and totally changed things up with a new site look. I also did some housekeeping on the email list and scrubbed it clean of everyone who doesn’t open their emails. (If you’ve missed out on the newsletter and couldn’t figure out why, you’ll need to sign up again here.) 

Once I did that, I gave the new newsletter a sleek new look and a few new features. I threw around a few ideas I had with the wonderful people on the email list and they replied with their feedback. That’s how Christian Book Angels was formed. 

The idea was this: In the newsletter …

People often wonder how I find so many great ebooks at super low prices. In this article I’m going to share some secrets on how you can read more of what you love for less with these Kindle bargain shopping tips.

Tip #1 Define What’s a Bargain

This is the first and probably most important tip, especially for all you book hoarders out there. It’s a personal preference, mostly to do with price, but there are other factors which we’ll get into below. As far as price goes, I try to stick to a rule of no more than about $1 per 100 pages unless it’s a book by an author I already know I love. To me that’s a bargain. Some people tell me they never spend more than $3.99 for a book, but a rule like that could prevent you from buying a complete series of over 1,200 pages for $4.99 and you’d be missing out on a great find. 

Don’t forget to consider your time. 

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everything free is not gold. I bet you’ve already discovered that, haven’t you? You can waste a lot of time with books that don’t suit you if you only look for free books. You know the old saying, time is money? Well, time is also a piece of your life you can never get back. Use it wisely. 

Also, don’t forget to check the page length of your books. 

Sometimes this can make a deal bitter or sweet. Set your own parameters for what makes a good deal and keep those in mind when book hunting.

Tip #2 Look For…

If you love to read and dream of having your favorite authors send you their books for free before they’re even released to the public, you're going to want to start a book blog. Starting a book blog isn’t that hard and doesn’t have to be expensive. I’ll give you tips for setting up your review blog and writing a book review.

Why You Should Start A Christian Book Review Blog

You may read some secular books that are very helpful, entertaining, and “clean” from a reader’s point of view, but consider making your book review blog Christian books only. Christian book review blogs help solve the biggest problem Christian authors have in promoting their books.

I’ve seen many great books that just needed some love in the form of honest social proof to get them to take off as a ministry and profitable income for the author.

Likewise, the biggest problem for Christian readers is not finding books in the right price range anymore. Many of us have thousands of books on our e-readers, yet we still have no idea what we should read. Christian book review blogs solve that problem as well. Often, good Christian books get lumped into religious categories that include other religions and various other categories many of us don’t wish to read.

There are also many non-Christian books that wiggle themselves into the Christian categories to…
