I'm in 11-20 Youth Group

I'm in for 1-10, Sunday school.

11-20 I hardly read any Biblical Fiction this year so I want to get back to the genre I love.

I'm in for 1-10, Sunday School

I'm in for 1-10 - Sunday School though I don't think I'll get to 10 as I tend to not read much Biblical fiction only about three authors.

Love Barbara Britton's Biblical fiction!

Thank you, Loraine and Christine. I am honored and humbled. I'm happy you enjoy my books. I have so much fun writing them.

You're welcome Barbara. Every time I read your Biblical fiction I am blessed and find myself back in God's Word.

That's my goal. I like when readers go to the Bible and read about the characters and events that I fictionalize. It makes me happy that you feel blessed. God's Word is alive.

You're so welcome. You know I love your work so much. I love how you teach me things I hardly knew in the Bible. I can't wait to reread Defending David because I felt like a missed so much. I loved the story and I think it will be a huge success !!

Thank you so much, Christine. I'm always learning something new about the Bible. And I love to share stories that have been overlooked.
I appreciate all of your support. You are a blessing.

Likewise, Christine. Your support and encouraging words have been a blessing to me.

Glad you are joining us Kati! Welcome:)

I'd like to get in on this. I love Biblical Fiction, but haven't read any so far this year (very unusual). I guess I'm going to have to up my game!

I've already read 6 Biblical Fiction books this year, so I guess I'm in. One of my new favorite authors is Mesu Andrews.

Glad you are joining us Lorna. And you can count all those previously read Biblical Fiction books. Mesu Andrew is a great Biblical Fiction author. Some other really good ones are Angela Elwell Hunt, Tessa Afshar, Jill Eileen Smith, Connilyn Cossette, and Barbara Britton. Also if you look at the first post, there are 2 links there with lists of Biblical Fiction and their Bible connections for both Old and New Testaments.

Thank you for the mention, Lorna. You have me in outstanding company. All of these authors rock the Biblical Fiction genre.

The Biblical Fiction genre is growing. You can try these authors too:
Amanda Bedzrah
Naomi Craig
Lila Diller
Jennifer Jenings
Dana McNeely
Corey Stumne
Jenna Van Mourik
and I;m sure there are others that I forgot.

Thanks for sharing Barbara.

I'm in! I just read my first Biblical Fiction book last week and now reading my second and ordered a few.
