2022 Christian Fiction Releases & a Giveaway

January 5, 2022 /

By Deena Adams

Happy New Year! On this first week in January, I’m providing a list of some 2022 new releases as a resource for readers. This list was compiled from the responses of people in several reader and writer Facebook groups when asked which books they’re most looking forward to or who’s releasing a book.

I’ve also added a few books by authors I have scheduled to interview on my blog this year. You can find more releases by publication date at Fiction Finder.

If a preorder link is available, I’ve included it. You can click the title to learn more.

For this week’s giveaway, one person who comments on this post will win your choice of one of the January releases, which are pictured in the header photo.

    There are so many good books on the list that I can only narrow it down to any Historical, Suspense, or Split Time 😆. Thanks for having this giveaway, I saw your post on the Avid Readers group on Facebook….the covers in your picture for this look really pretty together!

    Unbethrothed by Candice Pedraza Yamintz has me rather excited. I love a good fairy tale style fantasy and this one soounds so good. So many great books on this list so that it is hard to choose just one.

    I am so excited for a new year of new books by wonderful authors! I have read Jody Hedlund’s Never Leave Me. It was so good, and I’m ready for my next new release lol. I’m here from Avids.

    I am reading A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz right now. I always look forward to her new release early each year.
    The other I am looking forward to is Jocelyn Greens upcoming release Drawn by the Current.

    My pick for this month is Twilight at Moorington Cross by Abigail Wilson but I was fortunate to be an early reader for this and let me tell you it’s FANTASTIC! I would also choose To Disguise the Truth by Jen Turano, The Winter Rose by Melanie Dobson and A Heart Adrift by laura Frantz. I’m not as up to date on the further out releases, but Jaime Jo Wright’s The Souls of Lost Lake and Robin W. Pearson’s Walking in Tall Weeds is at the very top of my wish list.

        Well, this list is amazing! I have a top 3, that’s the smallest amount I can narrow it down to:
        1. The Lady’s Mine by Francine Rivers
        2. The Souls of Lost Lake by Jaime Jo Wright
        3. The Heart of the Mountains by Pepper Basham

        Thanks so much for offering this giveaway and for all the work you did compiling this list for us. I followed the link from the Avid Readers of Christian Fiction FB group. 😀

    Boy, reading-wise, 2022 is slaying it right out of the gate! There are so many on this list that are already on my TBR! I’m really looking forward to Never Leave Me by Jody Hedlund.

      Hi, Teri. It’s definitely going to be a great reading year! I’ve yet to read a Jody Hedlund book but have heard so many praises for her writing. Maybe this is the year to check her out! Thanks for joining the conversation!

    • Deena Adams
      January 7, 2022 at 8:21 am

      Hi, Teresa. Lots of the authors on this list are new to me so I don’t personally know if their writing will resonate with me but based on books I’ve read, two that I know for sure I want to read are All That it Takes by Nicole Deese and The Songs That Could Have Been by Amanda Wen.

      Other people have raved about some of the authors on this list so I’m looking forward to finding some new favorite authors this year too.

      I review all the books I read on Goodreads so you can check my profile there and see what I read and what I thought about it.

      Thanks for reading and commenting!

    My Kindle library already has so many books, and I have run out of physical space on my bookshelves for new books. So at the moment the only books I have on my “to buy list” are Song for the Hunter (Naomi Musch) and To Disguise a Truth (Jen Turano). However, I continue to add to my TBR list–of course.

      Hi, Roxanne. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had all the time and money needed for every book we wanted to read?! I think we’ll be adding to our want to read list for the rest of our lives! Thanks so much for stopping by.

    Wow! What a list! I’ve promised myself not to purchase any more books until I read what I have on my Kindle, but never said I couldn’t add to my “WTR” list, or not accept a gift!! It just expanded exponentially! Thank you 📚😍

    • Deena Adams
      January 5, 2022 at 9:06 am

      I understand, Traci, but if I never bought another book until I read everything on my kindle, I’d NEVER buy another book. LOL. I have so many on my kindle it would be impossible to read them all. You can take advantage of Hoopla and Libby and read without buying!

      Really can’t wait for some of these & others I will be looking to try some new authors!
