Below you will find books, blogs, and articles that dive into Christianity and video games, geek culture, and other topics from a biblical perspective. There is a lot of content out there, and I wanted to create a section that includes as much of it as I can find. I’m sure I’ve missed someone or a group, so please let me know and I will check it out to add it to the list!
If you find a link that no longer works, please comment below and I will fix it or remove it.
