Byron and Beth Borger, the caretakers of Hearts & Minds Books, have worked there tirelessly for over three decades to create a space for serious, reflective readers. Their unremitting efforts to offer quality books for thinking biblically about every area of life has inspired a volume on the occasion of their bookstore’s thirty-fifth anniversary. One of the many ways Hearts & Minds has blessed their customers has been through BookNotes. In those reviews, Byron shares colorful anecdotes and passionate arguments for why to read books. In this compilation, the Borger’s friends have adopted the BookNotes model and offer a defense for books in their spheres of interest, along with a number of further titles for the reader to consider.
