Anyone that has done a list like this knows the difficult task of deciding which books to include. And when you've read over 350 (388 to be exact) that makes it even more difficult. There was no way I could stop only at 10, and if you're book is not on this list, It's not because I didn't like it, I could only include so many books. As hard as it was, I was able to narrow it down to 30. I am happy to say several of them are new or newish authors, so that's refreshing to see. And Here they are in no particular order.
1) One Night In Georgia by Celeste O. Norfleet
This book will take you through an emotional rollercoster
2) Love Me Again by Danyelle Scroggins
You can tell by reading this book, as well as her other books that they're totally inspired by God

3) Pose by Niko Michelle

18) The Winter Wedding by Rhonda McKnight
This quote from the book was food for thought
"Son, it's easy to praise Him and talk about His goodness when you're up. It's easy to act like the Golden Boy when it's all good. People aren't impressed by that. Can Stephen Pierce still walk through this locker room and around all this equipment with his busted leg and say God is good. Though he slay me, yet will I trust him."
