Christian Historical Fiction discussion

What are you currently reading? Of course I have a book mark in quite a few, but one I'm really enjoying is Threads of Change . This is a new author to me, and that's always an adventure. :)

I just finished "She Walks in Beauty" by Siri Mitchell. Tonight, I started "A Suitable Wife" by Louise M. Gouge. I'm only on page 65, but it is very good so far.

I am reading A Talent For Trouble by Jen Turano. The book has me in stitches. I love it!!! Too funny!!!

I am reading In the Company of Secrets. By Judith Miller. It ok so far.

I just finished Rebellious Heart by Jody Hedlund. WOW!! Loved it!!! Want to start it again already!!!

The Five People We Meet in Heaven. I loved Tuesdays with Morrie....same author; Mitch Albom

I finished In the Company of Secrets and now I'm on book 2 of the series, Whispers on the rails. The first book was a little hard for me to get into but I'm glad I did. I really like the books so far

I just finished All the Blue of Heaven by Virginia Carmichael. I really enjoyed it.

I'm bouncing back and forth between Rules of Murder by Julianna Deering and Gideon's Call: a Novel by Peter Leavell. Both are great so far!

A very interesting, true story about Pioneer life including the Civil War battle at Olustee, Fla., how horse flu led to a national economic collapse and a devastating fire in Boston, pirates frequenting St. Mary's, Georgia, and the perils of traveling by foot through the 'big scrub' and by steamboat on the St. John's River.

I also just finished A Rebellious Heart! Love Jody Hedlund books!!!!

I just finished reading debut author Melissa Jagears' novel. What a nice story!!! And am reading Serena Miller's novel A Promise to Love before I catch up with her last Michigan novel--this one stellar like the first in the series. Listened to Jessica Dott'a debut novel and she was blessed with a fabulous narrator! And just received Melanie Dickerson's new novel in the mail!!! Can't wait to get to that one, too!

I just finished Barbara Brink's the first in her winery series of three. It is an enjoyable read by a Christian author for those of you who enjoy a touch of mystery and romance in a modern setting.
Barbara and I have become on-line friends, and she has in turn read the first of my ebook mysteries, but be assured that did Not color my take.

I'm reading A PIONEER CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

I'm reading A PIONEER CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

I just finished Cathy Marie Hake's Fancy Pants. I loved it!!!

I'm reading Talon by Ronie Kendig. Loving this series!

I just finished She Walks in Beauty and have started on A Daughter's Inheritance… so far so good! :)
(Also both are free in the Kindle store this month)

The entire series that begins with A Daughter's Inheritance is great!

I'm reading All Things Hidden by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse right now. Love it! Gwyn's character is priceless, and I never would have imagined this particular historical setting.

I'm reading Shadowed by Grace by Cara Putnam. It's a WWII novel about the Monuments Men. Enjoying it!

Hi I am new to the group I am currently reading a few christian fiction books one of them is the courier of Caswell Hall by Dobson and Against The Tide both novels are ferry good both have to do with American history and spies that were women.

Just finished " Halos" by Kristen Heitzmann. TOTALLY loved it.

Haven't tried that book yet will have to add to my never ending list of books to be read.

I want to read both of them :-) you have good taste!

Reading "A Passion Most Pure" by Julie Lessman. I like how realistic the characters are!

Thanks for the comment by the way I meant very instead of ferry in my post as I was typing too fast.

Just finished "The Redemption" by M.L. Tyndall. Great book! Waiting for the ebook format for the second book in the series. Starting "The Red Siren" by M.L. Tyndall.

Anna, If you liked "The Redemption," I think you'll enjoy "The Red Siren." I DID!

Started reading The Price of Freedom by Carol Umberger. Finished the first one in the series Circle of Honor, and I'm excited to read this one!

I just finished Julie Klassen's latest, The Dancing Master. She's a favorite of mine and I loved it as I hoped it I would.
Right now, I'm reading a novella called, Appalachian Serenade and enjoying it so far.

Currently reading Grave Consequences and A Stray Drop of Blood, both on kindle. I'm enjoying them :-)

Anna: that's great that you're reading M.L. Tyndall's books! She's a good author :-) I've read the Red Siren and the rest in that series, as well as Surrender the Heart.

Good Morning I just finished Against the Tide and it was a great read it told about a young lady who becomes a spy during the colonial era of American history. It was worth reading and kept me glued to the story till the end of the book. Chris

Just finished " Saving Amelie" by Cathy Gohlke. If you want an amazing WWII read this is for you!!!!

Sounds like something I would like to read soon thanks for letting me know. I have a lot of books to read yet before I try this one.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... link to my review. Amazon has a great summary. Loved this one!

I just finished two books this last week..."Love Amid the Ashes" by Mesu Andrews (very good) & "Rachel" by Jill Eileen Smith (loved it!)

I am on last book in Lisa T. Bergren's The Grand Tour Series. This is my first time reading her books and I am really enjoying it!!!!

I'm glad to hear it. I've wanted to read that series. I don't think I've read anything by her yet. But maybe soon :)

Reading Sky Zone by Creston Mapes great Christian suspense! The Christian suspense books just keep getting better!

What did you think of the second book? I'm reading that one now :-)

Christina, I would love to read that one! It's on my to-read list but I didn't know it was about a spy in the colonial era. The 18th century (especially American revolutionary war history) is my favorite :-)

Hi Charmaine!

I did not like the second book and would probably have given it 3 stars if I were giving my opinion on it. I read recently that she had gone thru some really hard times and am assuming it was probably during this time as I think #3 was as good as #1.

Highly recommend Lisa Tawn Bergren's books. I have the privilege of knowing her personally, and not only is she a gifted writer (novels, non-fiction, editing), but she is also a quality woman, great mother, and all-around caring person. One of the perks of being a Christian author is being able to hang around with other Christian authors--funny, gifted, inspiring, and none finer than Lisa.

I'm just starting A Match of Wits by Jen Turano. This is the one in the series I've been waiting for.
