I love Atonement Child by Francine Rivers

Well, this is going back some, but as a youngster I enjoyed "Pilgrim's Progress" and the sequel, I believe written by John Bunyan (a prisoner at the time). I don't know how 'politically correct it is to mention it, but I really enjoyed it as a child.

Not politically correct? No problem! :D

IDK?

How about:

'The Oath', 'House', 'Monster', 'Hangman's Curs'. Ya, they are all Christan, but they are horror. They are from Frank Peretti.

Loved those books, especially the Caitlyn and Kim series.
*Redeeming Love, A Lineage of Grace, and the Atonement Child by Francine Rivers.
*My Heart Remembers by Kim Vogel Sawyer
*The Lightkeeper's daughter by Coleen Coble (don't remember if this one was actually 'Christian' but it was in the Christian Fiction section)
*Hidden by Shelley Shepard Gray
*A Father's Promise by Donna Lynn Hess (really more a kid's book, but I still loved it)
*The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
*Gianna:Aborted and lived to tell about it by Jessica Shaver Renshaw
*Solomon's Song by Roberta Kells Dorr

And many others I haven't gotten to yet :)

Anything by C.S. Lewis!!!!

I'm reading "The Visitation" by Frank Peritti. I agree with you, he's a great author.

Makes me think of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXi709...

I've heard good stuff about that book!

The Present Darkness
Piercing the Darkness both by Frank Peretti.

I wish he has stayed with the angel books rather than getting darker and more horror prone with his later books.

I didn't like his later works - The Oath, Hangman, etc. He went too deep into the hardcore supernatural - bordering on horror for me.

At least with the angels and demons given personas it maintained a even-handedness and didn't feel so creepy.

Yes, to some, he's become the "Stephen King" of Christian thrillers.

I'm reading Steven James series with FBI agent Patrick Bowers. Luv it. Very gritty as it's about serial killers. I've finished The Pawn, The Rook, and the Knight. I'm going to read The Queen and finish the series.

Also, The Clouds Roll Away by Sibella Giorello.

There is a book out The Knights of the Dawn Kingthat is sort of a Tolkeinesque type story but challenges us in the area of loyalty to our true King of Kings, Jesus. I read it recently. I loved the story and was impressed with the blatant Christian theme...its basically a Christian allegory. So you get a great story and a great message all in one.:)

Barbara or EndlesslySparkly wrote: "Ted Dekker just recently came out with a interesting looking book called The Priests graveyard."

that sounds like a good book. Right now I am reading "Red" from the Circle series

my mom read the Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker and said it something NO christian should read or write. i am a very big dekker fan and love all of his books that i've read, but she made me promise NEVER to read this book. It's said really that he'd do that...

Anyway-good Christian books:

1: The Price of Trust by Amanda Stephan
2: The Lost Books by ted dekker

I recommend ,,He liked Tuesdays best". It is a great book, which allows readers to explore unknown fact about the normal, everyday life of Pope John Paul II.

I started reading Until Forever yesterday, and it promises to be a keeper!

I just finished Beyond the Dead Forest and it was absolutely excellent. Loved it and would recommend it to anyone.
