Sheila | 📚Bookstagram on Instagram: "🙋🏼‍♀️ Does anyone else feel like they’re getting pickier with their 5-star ratings? Over the years, I’ve found it harder and harder to award that coveted 5th star. But looking back at my 2024 reads, I realized some books deserved a second chance—and a higher rating ⭐️ 🎯For 2025, I’m setting a new goal: to be a little more generous with my ratings. If a book leaves me thinking, “Wow, that was amazing!”, why shouldn’t it get 5 stars? 📚Here are 12 books I initially rated 4 stars but now believe are absolutely 5-star reads: ❓What does your book rating system look like? Are you picky or generous with 5 star ratings? Let me know in the comments! 📌Save this post for your TBR and 📩 send it to a friend who needs a good recommendation! ✨5 Star Books ✨ 📚
Walter - Christian Books on Instagram: "This reel originated from a question I was asked, so if you want a specific recommendation let me know and I may respond via video! All of these are after the Bible and that is not a mere perfunctory statement - establishing a daily habit of reading the Bible might be the biggest thing you do to grow in Christ in 2025 if you aren’t already in that rhythm. 1. The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges - I included this book because Bridges strikes the balance between a serious call to holiness and effort that is motivated by the gospel. This is what’s known as a gospel-centered approach, where all of life is lived in response to what has already been done for us in Christ. 2. Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney - This book

Tilly Loves Books | Bookstagram on Instagram: "Ok before anyone asks why I read such a ridiculous amount in October, I’m going to say right now that I read a lot when I’m struggling mentally and I REALLY don’t do well with the darker colder days, so that’s why!
