2022 Christian Fiction Releases & a Giveaway
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.

Perrianne Askew
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.
Deena Adams
Ooh, thanks for the recommendations, Perrianne! So many good books to look forward to! Thanks for reading and joining the conversation.

Oh, what a fantastic resource you’ve assembled for us!! Avid Reader here through Facebook, and I’m going to be reading many of these!
Deena Adams
Yes, Laurel! We have lots of great reads to look forward to! Thanks for stopping by. 😊
Teresa Bass
Happy New Year! You will have to suggest one! To treasure an Heiress sounds interesting.
Deena Adams
Also, I have no doubt To Treasue an Heiress will be amazing! I read my first book by Roseanna White in December and it was fabulous!
Caryn
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. 😀
Deena Adams
Hi, Caryn. Looks like a great top three list! Hope you’ll get to read some of the others as well. Thanks so much for stopping by and joining the conversation!
Teri DiVincenzo
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.

Deena Adams
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
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!
Angie Pool
I am most looking forward to A Heart Adrift or To Disguise the Truth. Thnx for the giveaway!!
Deena Adams
Hello, Angie! Two great ones no doubt! Good luck in the drawing!
Roxanne C.
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.
Deena Adams
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.
Latisha
So many good books to add to my TBR list!
Deena Adams
Yes, Latisha! 2022 is going to be a great year for new Christian Fiction!
Traci Winget
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
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!
Sylvia Rodriguez
Really can’t wait for some of these & others I will be looking to try some new authors!
Deena Adams
Hi, Sylvia. I’ve enjoyed some new to me authors this past year and look forward to discovering more! Thanks for reading and joining the conversation. 😀
Charlene Yarger
I saw your giveaway mentioned on Avid Readers of Christian Fiction. Several of those books are on my TBR list! It looks like a great giveaway!
Deena Adams
Hi, Charlene. Good luck in the giveaway! And happy reading!
