2019 Christmas Gift Ideas for Christian Readers

Christmas is a time to celebrate the incarnation of the Son of God. One of the ways we can celebrate the generosity of God is share gifts with the people we love. Christmas is one of my favorite times of year because I get great deals on gospel-centered books and other resources for friends and family. I love being able to share a good book, study Bible, or tool to help my loved ones dwell with Christ. This year, I'm going to share some of my favorite books, publishers, and sites to find Christ-centered gifts for others.

Missions
Oakseed Ministries: Here are opportunities to help pay for trauma counseling for girls pulled out sex trafficking, purchase Bibles for kids and families of new converts, and much more! This site has some amazing opportunities to sow seeds in heaven.

Subscriptions

Accelerate Books offers several book summaries each month. It's a great value at a great price for the preacher, teachers, leaders, and nerds in your life!

The Dwell App is a wonderful tool for anyone looking to increase their Bible intake. I use it almost daily and highly recommend it!

Ligonier Connect is chock full of resources for learners. Whether you buying for an armchair theologian or a pastor in your life, Ligonier Connect has plenty of courses and to help anyone grow in their knowledge of God and the gospel. At $9/month this an excellent value!

Tabletalk Magazine is Ligonier's monthly Bible study magazine. It includes great articles from theologians, pastors, and scholars as well as daily devotional readings for subscribers. It's priced at just over a dollar per month when you subscribe for 3 years. 

Christian Audio has audiobooks at great prices. Each month, you get a free audiobook (of their choice) and 4 credits for $14. Most books are 2 or 3 credits, but they a twice yearly sale that features insanely low prices! This is great for commuters and people who love to listen to audiobooks.

Scribd is not specifically a Christian site, but it has TONS of Christian books and audiobooks. The best part is, you can try it free for 30 days before making your decision. Readers, listeners, and pastors will benefit greatly as this site even has technical and seminary level books and commentaries on it.
