Hi, Kristi,

You're definitely in the right place.

[Swaaaaarrrrrrrmmmmmm]

Hi my name is Zarriah but I prefer my nickname Zarr. I am a Christian and new to the app so I felt this would be a good place to start and get some book recs :)

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Hi, Zarr, and welcome!

[Heather]

sprinting is more like, Heather 😉
glad to have you

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Welcome, Heather! We're a very active group.

[Jenny]

Hi, my name is Jenny and I love to read all genres. I just discovered this group and am excited to connect with others who love to read as much (or more!) than I do. Right now, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend clean alternatives to the likes of Poldark or Outlander?

[Michelle]

Perhaps and . If you like time slips try Gabriel Meyer's series Timeless:

Welcome, Jenny! Kelsey Bryant wrote a Scottish story that might fit the bill, though it's contemporary. It's found in . (My mom, Faith D. Cox, and I also wrote stories in this anthology.)

[Azalea]

Hi, I'm Azalea. I'm also a Christian and a YA Historical Fantasy author.

My favorite YA book right now is Jonathan Renshaw's Dawn of Wonder, The Wakening book 1. One of my favorite authors is CJ Brightley and her Erdemen Honor series.

I'm looking forward to reading Kyrie Wang's The Healer's Blade this year, and Kathryn Jordan's The Wolf Warden. I'd like to find more good books like these, of the historical or fantasy flavor, though fantasy is my go to.

Thanks,
Azalea Dabill

Welcome, Oliver! The answer to your questions is 'yes'. Simply put, this has become a place for Christians to come and discuss Christian fiction. That said, for the various challenges you'll find in this group, clean fiction and non fiction books 'count' as well as the specifically Christian fiction.
Hopefully that clarifies things instead of makes them more muddled? 🙂

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

Welcome back, Angela! We're glad to have you . . . and just let us know if you need any navigation help . . . one of us (speaking of both mods and members) should be able to help at any given time!

[Dawn]

Hello! I just joined this group. I want to finish 35 books this year. Currently reading “If I’m Found” by Teri Blackstock and “The Last Christian” by David Gregory. Christian suspense and futuristic Christian content. Both are pretty new genres for me as I’m usually more into Christian romance. Trying to branch but stay within the Christian realm m. I like my books clean lol

Treasures of the Lochs
Please consider Treasures of the Lochs. This is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is an exciting, powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you’ll check it out.

I'm not familiar with Outlander, but have watched/listened to some of Poldark. This one is more closely related to Downton Abbey, but one to consider...The Ladies of Roderick Glen by Kristie Self. The first in the series is The Piano Teacher.

Sydney, I don't read a lot of fantasy, so I can't help much with that one. These are some of my favorite romance novels:

I love how Christian fiction can inspire, uplift, and draw us closer to God through storytelling.

Looking forward to engaging in meaningful discussions with you all! Blessings! ✨📖

Hello! I've read one of Karen Kingsbury's books (Best Family Ever) and am planning to read the rest of the series some day. I love her too!
I have a Christian fiction author recommendation: Madisyn Carlin.

Thanks for sharing about yourself.

[Kari]

Hi everyone. I'm Kari Hyden and I hail from the Pacific Northwest. I have always been an avid reader, and I have been enjoying Christian fiction for a long time. The first Christian books I read were the O'Malley series by Dee Henderson. I am a fan of Karen Kingsbury's Baxter series, as well. I am part of a local in-person book club, and they have gotten me hooked on some excellent historical fiction authors. It has taken me out of my comfort zone, expanding on different genres. I am looking forward to being a part of this CFD family.

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

welcome!

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Welcome, Pastor Usman and Kari!

My last read was superb, helped me through a big disappointment.

Luke 3:15-17 (English Standard Version): 15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”

[Imani]

Hi! My name is Imani. I just discovered this group. Excited to talk about Christian fiction books and discover even more books.
Current book obsession: anything by Tessa Afshar, I recently discovered her books and have absolutely devoured 3 of them already.

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Welcome, Imani!

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

Welcome, Imani! I'm a Tessa Afshar fan as well. I'm eagerly anticipating her next release in the autumn!

[Clark]

Hello!

My name is Clark Larsen and I live in Tooele, Utah! I enjoy wholesome, positive books. My wife and I have a little boy who loves kid's books, especially ones featuring characters from Sesame Street.

I should say I am also an author. You can message me if you'd like to know about the novel I have written, as well as the one I am currently working on.

[Marissa]

Hello everyone!
My name is Marissa and I love Jesus! My favorite hobby is as follows: reading a great book at night while drinking black tea while piano instrumental music plays in the background. I’m a hopeless romantic… maybe a little embarrassing to admit. However, after years of sifting through different books from different authors, I was on the pursuit for CLEAN Christian romance. You know.. the good old fashioned love stories with no sex scenes where it’s apparent God is at work in the couple’s relationship. I have loved Karen Kingsbury novels for years now. However, after reading “Redeeming Love”, I have more recently become a fan of Francine Rivers’ writing even more so. I feel I resonate with it. Some great suggestions I have from her are listed in my bookshelf such as “The Lady’s Mine” and “The Masterpiece”. I am currently reading “A Voice in the Wind” so I’m excited to share my thoughts afterwards! If you have any great book suggestions, let me know! Anyway, thanks for letting me join this group! Happy to be here. :)

God bless and warm regards,
Marissa
