Below you will find books, blogs, and articles that dive into the topic of Christianity and video games, geek culture, or other topics from a biblical perspective. There is lots of content out there and I wanted to make a section that has as much of it as I can find. I am sure I missed someone or a group out there, so please let me know and I will check it out to add it to the list below!
