Five Fall Favorites Day 1

Fall. The leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp, apple and pumpkin scents are everywhere, and warm drinks are a must. It is at this time of year, when Texas gets a lot of rain and I am ready for reading. Reading is such a peaceful pass time, isn't it? Yes, the book might be emotional, but nothing beats a chilly outside, a warm drink, and a good book to feel at peace.
"Peace, be still."
Those words were spoken into chaos, on a boat. In the midst of that chaos, Jesus created peace. To me often curling up with a book, especially my Bible, is a great way of finding peace in the midst of the chaos of life.
Today, I get to share with you five of my favorite historical fiction books that take place in biblical times. One of my favorite things about them is that they are all, in some way, about how our faith brings peace in the midst of chaos. 
1. Garden of Madness This is amazing. It is dark at times, but I still think about it often. The power of prayer, redemption, and God's grace and all important themes in this story.You can read my review HERE
 2. The Heavens Before I read this book in one sitting, because I couldn’t stop. I started it at eight one night and stayed up until 1:30 to finish it. It was that good.Read my review HERE
 3. The Centurion's Wife This book was beautiful, sweet, and refreshing. I loved this perspective of the people around Pilate trying to figure out what happened to Jesus. 
4. Ruth It has been a long time since I read this book (I think about ten years) but it was so vivid, I can still remember it. This is a fictional account, steeped in both the Bible and research. 
5. A Crown in the Stars This story left my heart aching, but also left me praising God. This is a fictional account of the tower of Babel. It is a very powerful story.
