Christian Fiction Fans discussion

Please recommend some books for historical Christian fiction here!

A Bride's Dilemma in Friendship, TN (post Civil War) by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer is a recent one I read and really enjoyed.

I also liked Songbird Under a German Moon by Tricia Goyer (WW2 Germany).

And Love in Disguise (1880s Arizona) by Carol Cox.

You're welcome! I'm reading another one now thats 1565 Italian. I'm still up in the air about it. Definitely some things I like .. and some things I don't.

THere are so many wonderful ones. I'd recommend checking out my "read" list on my profile here as well. These aren't specifically romance.

Let me name a few -
Promise Me This - Cathy Gohlke (Titanic & WWI era)
Mark of the Lion series (Voice in the Wind, Echo in the Darkness, and I can't remember the third one) - Francine Rivers (early early Christian Church, apostle John has not been exiled to Patmos)
Redeeming Love - Francine Rivers (California Gold Rush)
The Veil - Diane Noble (1840's I think)
Appomatox Saga - Gilbert Morris (Civil War)
Maire, Riona, Deidre - Linda Windsor (5th, 6th, 7th Century Ireland)
Thorn In My Heart, Fair is the Rose, Whence Came a Prince, Grace in Thine Eyes - Liz Curtis Higgs (1700's Scotland)
Here Burns My Candle & Mine is the Night - Liz Curtis Higgs (1800's Scotland)

Here are a few of my favorites:
Cathy Marie Hake-Fancy Pants, Whirlwind, Forevermore...
Deeanne Gist--A Bride in the Bargain, Maid to Order...
Tamera Alexander--The Inheritance...
Happy Reading!

And...Lillies in Moonlight and The Bridegrooms by Allison Pittman.

She's a good author. Fancy Pants and Forevermore are two of my favorite books! ;D

I LOVE Historic Fiction! I could recommend so many books in this genre...

Here are some of my favorites
by Susan K. Downs

by Lynn Austin

Books by Mary Connealy, Tracie Peterson, Kathleen Morgan, Karen Witemeyer

Of course, there are many, many more... but I'm trying to only list a few ;)

A fun series that I read was Ladies Shooting Club by Susan Page Davis. I don't read a lot of historical fiction but enjoyed this one.

That's good to know. I have been eyeing that series on CBD since it is only $6.99 for all three books. I may grab it now! Thanks!

I like SPD books. She is a really good writer. Thanks for the info on this one Cindy.
Diane, everytime I see the dog photo I just feel like smiling. What a face.

@Susan F ~ I'm glad my dog makes you smile! :)

Love Inspired Historical and Heartsong Presents Historical are both great series. They are inexpensive too - published in mass-market paperback. There is a list of the best ones in Listopia here on goodreads.

This is amazing! Making a list of all this. Keep them coming...and btw, is this a ladies only group? Lol!

@Tatuu ~ No this is not a ladies only group but I guess the ladies like to talk more than the men! LOL!

These aren't new books but still available on Amazon and for some e-readers. It surprised me that I enjoyed a lot. Originally I picked them up because the author lives close, next county over. They are based in WW2

The author is Robert Vaughan and the two that I read are: Touch the Face of God and His Truth is Marching on. He also has another that I didn't read Whose Voice the Waters Heard.

They don't have to be read in sequence but a character or two does carry over in the other books.

They seem to read a lot too. No wonder. Great thread though. Gives me lots of ideas on books to read.

Thank you Carrie!

A lot of my favs have already been listed but here's a few more.
Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemier
A Heart Most Worthy by Siri Mitchell
A Bride Opens Shop in El Dorado by Keli Gwyn

Short-Straw Bride sounds soooo good!! I just discovered it last week and it's on my list .. and constantly moving higher.

Carrie, I think it's the best book I've read in a long time. The writing is stellar and so is the story.

You convinced me, Diana. It's now at the top of my fiction list. I may even drop the sci-fi I"m reading now for it. I like sci-fi okay, but it's not my favorite. This story is good ... but I keep wanting something different. Sigh...I think I'm more of a sci-fi movie watcher than book reader! LOL...

Drop the sci-fi and pick up Karen's book. You'll be so happy you did. :)
