For the first time, we're running some end of year books coverage to pair up with our Eliot Awards. That being said, in the spirit of Mere Orthodoxy, we are doubling up on old book recommendations to pair with a few recommendations on new books. So below we have 23 book recommendations to wrap up 2023: Eight new books, all recommended by me. Then we have 15 old book recommendations solicited from contributors and friends to our work. We hope they are a blessing to you as you close out the year and that they might help you begin your new year's reading well.
