It’s that time of year again! We loved spending 2023 poring over God’s Word with you. To celebrate, here’s a list of your favourite books of the year (also known as our bestsellers).
Take a look at each one below, and maybe pick out a few for your Christmas list!
This beloved storybook was the first title released in the Tales that Tell the Truth series. It captivates children’s imaginations with the story of the first Christmas—and the promise that God made, and kept, to send a perfect and loving King to rescue his people.
We’ve created lots of related resources to help you have even more fun sharing the story of the first Christmas with little ones. Check out our Sunday School lessons or grab the Advent calendar alongside the book with our storybook and Advent calendar bundle.
“We have loved this book so much we've started gifting it to others. It's a great retelling of the Christmas story and explains why Jesus is the Promise that Christmas really is about.” - TGBC Customer
The Air We Breathe has become a fast favourite. Glen Scrivener argues that our most prized values in the West—things like freedom, kindness, progress and equality—are not only distinctly Christian, but originate with Christ himself.
To get even more out of each chapter, try out our free small group kit. Videos and discussion questions are included for each chapter.
“I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Western history, social issues, or religious history. I found this fascinating, and despite how well-versed I already am with the topic, I learned a lot.” - TGBC Customer
Teach your little ones your greatest dream—that whatever they do, they would love and follow Jesus—with this sweet rhyming storybook, which has quickly become a fan favourite of our readers.
Try out the colouring and activity book for even more fun, and grab the board book version if you’d prefer a shorter, sturdier version for little ones.
“This book was a Christmas gift for our 3-year-old granddaughter. At our following visit, 3 months later, it's still a favourite book that she wants to hear every night!” - TGBC Customer
Toddlers love to get loud. Why not capitalise on that to engage them with the Christmas story?
In A Very Noisy Christmas little ones can enjoy singing along with the angel and shouting with the shepherds. We’re fans of the diverse illustrations and the way the book creatively tells the story of Jesus’ birth!
“This retelling of the Christmas Story is so engaging for little ones, both my 18 month old and 3 year old love it. Lots of fun and telling the wonderful truth of Jesus' birth. Thoroughly recommended!” - TGBC Customer
The folks at Faith in Kids (aka this calendar’s creators) agree that physical interaction and engagement = fun and learning for little ones. That’s why this daily calendar for Advent includes fun stickers to mark each day leading up to Christmas.
Browse free resources that go along with the calendar at the Faith in Kids website. Perfect for families and church toddler groups.
Like The Ultimate Christmas Wishlist, Is Christmas Unbelievable? is perfect to give away to unbelieving loved ones. This book, however, unpacks the first Christmas to show sceptics that believing in things like a virgin birth isn’t as ridiculous as it might sound.
“I found this book to be confirming for my personal faith and compelling for the sceptics and unconvinced. I bought 50 more copies and gave 40 away this season. I will probably buy another 50 next year and start earlier. Thank you Ms. McLaughlin and Good Book for putting this excellent resource in my hands.” - TGBC Customer
Hope Explored looks at the life, death and resurrection of Christ in three video-based sessions. This evangelistic course was developed by Christianity Explored to help you impact your community with the gospel.
Check out more courses developed by Christianity Explored at the link. You’ll find courses on discipleship, life, Christianity itself and more.
“The Hope Explored material is excellent. It is not only a great resource for outreach but to stir our hearts as believers and rekindle our everlasting hope in Jesus. Highly recommended to run in small groups and as an outreach. As a three-week course it is a great first step to introduce the good news of Jesus Christ to our neighbours.” - TGBC Customer
This little book teaches toddlers all about the first Christmas! It’s compact and durable, making it the perfect book to throw in the nappy bag or leave in your baby’s cot during naptime. It also makes a great stocking filler!
“I love these books so much! A wonderful modern presentation of the wonderful word of God. These books capture the Joy of the Lord every time they work on a new message … This book sums up the real reason for the season and I bought 30 copies for our toddler group Christmas present.” - TGBC Customer
Think Is Christmas Unbelievable?, but make it Easter. In this small book, Rebecca McLaughlin argues for the historical validity of the first Easter. Give it away to your intellectual neighbours and sceptical friends to help warm the heart—and truth—of the Christian faith.
“This book hit the sweet spot for my friend who had wandered from the faith. She wanted to believe, but struggled with the resurrection and what it meant. I have ordered ten more to give to other friends.” - TGBC Customer
Christmas is a great time to share Christ with unbelieving loved ones in your life. In The Ultimate Christmas Wishlist, Rico Tice spells out the ways that Jesus offers us what we really want: hope, peace, purpose and confidence.
We’ve priced this book specifically so that you can give it away as a church or individually to friends and neighbours.
“It is accessible and real, understanding the sort of life pressures that people deal with, the reasons why they may need to know the true depth of meaning of Christmas, and it highlights that faith in Christ is a way to see past it all.” - TGBC Customer
