I have read everything that Karen Kingsbury has written, as far as I know. Also, Francine Rivers and Terri Blackstock and Liz Curtis Higgs. My alltime favorites are the books about Scotland by Higgs and the Baxter series by Kingsbury, and then "Redeeming Love" by Rivers. I have probably read it about ten times. I also loved the old Frank Peretti books from twenty years ago, but his newer stuff is too far out for me.
I've also read almost all the Amish/Mennonite series out there by different authors. I don't like TV much, so I love to read. The ONLY secular author of fiction I will read is John Grisham because he keeps his stuff clean, as far as the ones I've read.

I'd love to read some Christian fiction but I'm forever reading reference books and History.I'm reading Eusebius's Ecclecastical history.
I want to get Tacticus's Annals of Imperial Rome.

I echo these remarks
I will read almost any Christian historical fiction. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised at how good an author will turn out to be. Sometimes I just make it through the book. Then I don't look for anything else by that author.
Francine Rivers has written several books that I thought were wonderful. And then she's also written a few that I just could not get into.
I recently finished the Baxter series by Kingsbury. The last book I read was the one where the mother dies, but meets her son that she gave up for adoption before she dies. Do you know if the next book in the series has been written yet?? If so, what is it titled?

Oh my goodness, there have been five since then!!! They are a whole new series, but they focus on the son she found. They are "Fame", "Family", "Fortune" and two more that I can't remember, and right now, I can't think of the order. But they are all good!! I finished the last one of them (that just came out) and now there will be a new series called the Sunrise series that is ANOTHER continuation of the saga. Amazing! I feel like the Baxters are a part of my family. LOL!

The Left Behind series are fiction... they say so on the cover. But maybe they should have Science Fiction on the cover instead of just fiction... : )

Nope, Jerry Jenkins & Tim LaHaye. I didn't read them and don't really have an interest in them at all. I think the doctrine is false.
