This app is a Godsend!

I used to love to read, but this menopause brain is a beast! Before that it was my raising kids brain. It’s been years since I felt I could focus on a book long enough to get it read. This app enables me to get the gist of books on my “to read” list in a short time. I’m able to glean tons of spiritual truth from many authors more efficiently. This app doesn’t replace books; it provides readers with a way to read summaries and then make the choice to get the full book when time permits. Highly recommend!

100% recommend

Walking with Christ is not a journey one should ever be on alone. Although everything is found in the Bible, if not careful, things can be interpreted the wrong way. This is why this application is so helpful. It’s full of great books from many different authors to help dissect the Bible, give it meaning and different perspectives without stepping away from the truth. In all things it is wise to use discernment, so the summaries are very helpful in deciding what to read in whatever season I’m in. I highly recommend this app!

Great way to explore books!

The Holy Reads app has provided a great way to explore a variety of books on specific topics. I like that summaries are detailed but concise. The summaries are straightforward which makes them easy to read but also seem to maintain the voice of the author. This was mostly noticeable when reading summaries of books by C.S. Lewis. I prefer the option of reading the summaries but it’s nice to have the audio to listen to while cleaning the house or driving. I’m excited to see how this new app grows!
