I have a dilemma. I am a Christian, and would very much like to read fiction from my fellow believers. However, I am also a very discerning and picky reader. I need some recommendations for some Christian books that are well written and not laden with cheese or fluff (a little cheese is okay, but I don't want to get constipated, you know?). In the past, some Christian writers I have enjoyed are Frank Peretti, Beverly Lewis, and Jan Karon. My church has its own library, and I grabbed a couple Francine Rivers books that came highly recommended, including Redeeming Love. Can anyone recommend anything else?

Yep, I'd say Redeeming Love. Another is Ted Dekker's Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White)...they're kinda fantasy/adventure, but in a good way.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. Francine Rivers' Redeeming Love is good (others by her as well), and Dekker is good. I've recently enjoyed Rene Gutteridge, Matt Bronleewe ...
ReplyDeleteI love Susan May Warren and Dee Henderson. I read 90% Christian fiction so I have lots of authors and books that I like. I have not read the Circle books yet but with Green coming out now I am setting a goal to read them. :)
ReplyDeleteRedeeming Love is definitely good. I'd recommend The Red Tent too. It's not technically Christian fiction, but it's based on the story of Dinah and it was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love Karen Kingsbury's novels, probably some of my favorite Christian fiction ever.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Rachel Hauck's books.
ReplyDeleteI recommend:

Chris Fabry
Allison Pittman
Bodie Thoene (Zion Chronicles Series)
Those are just off the top of my head...I gotta look through my bookshelf for more.
