Today I’m linking up with The Broke and Bookish for a Top Ten Tuesday post. The prompt for today was “Ten books we’d recommend to ________,” and I choose ten books I’d recommend to someone who wanted to read nonfiction. Even if you’ve never enjoyed nonfiction before, these books would be a great place for you to get your feet wet.

I came up with a variety of my four and five star reads, trying to stay away from books I’ve talked about recently. These books seriously contain fantastic stories, information, writing, and ideas. I’ll give a little blurb about each book below. I highly recommend all these books and have even bought extra copies of some of them to give away.

1. Whatever the Cost
   Written by identical twin brothers, this book is brimming with wit, laughter, and solid information.
2. Life Creative
   So, so beautiful. The book itself, the writing, the ideas that are shared. Living a balanced life while being a creative person is possible.
3. 20 Things We’d Tell our Twenty-Something Selves 
   Told by a husband/wife team, the writing is honest, clear, and helpful. (What twenty-something person doesn’t need advice and honesty?)
4. Every Body Matters 
   This one dives right into the heart of the matter that most people in the church today avoid.
5. Screens and Teens
   Yes, yes, and yes. How to have a healthy balance in today’s age of screens all over the place.
6. Knowing God By Name
   This book goes through various names of God, exploring what they really mean and who God really is.
7. Dangerous Love 
   Getting shot by terrorists? Yep. Finding forgiveness? Yep. There’s a bit of an info dump near the beginning of the book, but when you get past that the story is riveting.
8. God’s Smuggler 
   Smuggling. For God. Say, what??? Yeah – it’s a mouth-dropping (and sometimes laughable) true account of the life of a man from Holland.
9. Forensic Faith 
   Picture this: A real-life detective sets out to prove that God couldn’t exist, and instead becomes a passionate Christian. Here’s how that happened.
10. Control Girl
    Nothing like wanting to take control of a situation (or should I say every situation). But that’s dangerous. Here’s a good look at just how dangerous that can be.

Have you read any of these books? Which looks most interesting to you?
