Mayra Barry Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

This is a place for encouragement, fellowship, and discovering clean, faith-filled books together, but for now, let's get to know more about each other. We’re thankful you’ve joined us!

Mayra Barry Hi, I'm an author that started writing Christian Fiction in 2020. It actually started by me having a dream and praying about it. I have since been called to write Christian Fiction Romance, yes, you heard me correctly, Christian Fiction Romance. Who knew God was interested in that genre :). The dream basically was about our Lord seeking out His bride, etc... Before 2020, I NEVER viewed myself as an author even though I always loved to write.

John Cicero Hello everyone! My name is John Cicero, and I write clean Christian fiction centered on faith, family, hope, and the ways God often reveals Himself when we least expect it.

My newest novel, Rock, Paper, Scissors, begins with a simple childhood game. Years later, a forgotten journal, an old photograph, and a single word lead a young woman to Siena, Italy, where she discovers that some of life's greatest treasures are not found—they are understood.

ROCK – PAPER – SCISSORS What Holds. What Reveals. What Refines. by John Cicero

My novel The Seventh Door of the Carpenter begins with a discovery buried for more than a century. What follows is a journey through mystery, faith, and unanswered questions that refuse to stay hidden, challenging everything its characters believe about miracles, purpose, and God's presence in their lives.

THE SEVENTH DOOR of the CARPENTER When Faith Still Builds by John Cicero

I look forward to connecting with fellow readers and discovering new books and authors here. Blessings to all!

Aaron Ryan THE END - Alpha: A Christian Dystopian End-Times Thriller of Faith, Survival & Resistance

Hey everyone, I'm a longtime Christian author and I'd love to meet you! I just published an award-winning and bestselling Christian saga, "The End", which was inspired in part by Tim Lahaye & Jerry B Jenkins' "Left Behind" series of the 90s. It's similar and dissimilar to it, but very inspiring, loaded with heart and thematic depth, brimming with Scripture and redemption! If you have any questions on it, I'd love to talk with you and meet you. It's also been adapted for the screen and is winning entrance into film festivals and garnering awards... I'm very grateful and humbled!

My blog is at https://www.authoraaronryan.com/blog.

Cheers and blessings on you!

Karin Hi, all,

I'm a Goodreads volunteer librarian who is a Christian and am just dropping in because I saw this group on Nsindaazi's page. Here are a few tips for promoting your book on GR in a way people appreciate.

If you're a new author, it's important and helpful to claim your author pages if you haven't already. You can find them by first finding your book on Goodreads, then tapping/clicking on the author link. If you scroll down the page you can click/tap on "Let us know" to start getting full access to your author page. Follow all of the directions carefully. Then you can make your page your own. Don't forget to add your author website link if you have it and an author bio. A photo is also good.

As a reader, I look for that. Also, please, please, please read and follow all group rules on how to promote your books :) Nothing turns readers off more than people who don't follow those. I would like to say that Nsindaazi did a lovely job of introducing himself on a group I'm in.

Plus, follow the threads where you do this in case people respond. I can't tell you how many times I've helped or offered to help authors but not heard back from them. Ditto with potential readers :)

I won't be sticking around much, but please use the Goodreads Librarian group when you need help.

Before January, 2026, I'd have sent Nsindaazi a PM to help him, but Goodreads has removed that option.


message 9: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Kelly My name is Rebecca, I am a mom of 4 and have been reintroduced to my love of reading for the past year as a journey of rediscovering myself after having 3 children who are all young back to back as well as being new in my walk with Christ.
I am happy to be a part of this group so I can be introduced to Christian authors and titles that suit my beliefs and help to root deeper in my faith and knowledge of the good Lord, Jesus Christ.

Barbara Linkous Hi everyone! I’m Barbara Arnold Linkous, an Appalachian historical fiction author from East Tennessee. I write clean Christian stories — first the Life on Bays Mountain series, and now a brand‑new series: Faith, Floodwaters, and the Rise of TVA. I’m thrilled to be here… and I promise I only bring the drama to my books, not the group.

Mark, this is your new author page: Mark Oliver

You can claim it by tapping/clicking on it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping/clicking on the small "Let us know" and going through the steps. Once that processes (I think it takes a few days) you can claim it and personalize it.

Also, I fixed that strange series name with all of those letters. Is that other series the actual name you want for a series?


message 13: by Bobbie (new)

Bobbie Penn Hello everyone! I’m Bobbie Penn, and I write Christian allegorical fiction.

My forthcoming novel, The Song of the Overcomer, is set among the birds of a British farmhouse garden. I’ve drawn on their real appearance, personalities, and habits to bring spiritual themes to life through story and symbolism.

At its heart are the gospel, discipleship, and the importance of remaining faithful to Jesus Christ while recognizing deception. My hope is that readers find both an engaging story and encouragement for their walk with the Lord.

The book releases November 5, 2026. I’m glad to be here and look forward to connecting with you.


message 14: by K.A. (new)

K.A. Ramstad Hi, everyone. I'm K.A. Ramstad, and I write middle grade and YA fantasy with Christ-honoring themes. Don't worry, I don't glorify the occult in my stories. It's just fun fantasy that's similar to Narnia, Peter Pan, that kind of thing. I have an upper middle grade book published called "Friend of the Dire Wolf (published in the volume Of Dangers and Dreams)." I also have a middle grade book that will be released this winter called Starlight, a retelling of the Ugly Duckling (only the MC is a Northern Lights-making fox raised by dogs).

Looking forward to hearing more from you all.
