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

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.
