Although I am a fan of all genres of books, I am a huge fan of Christian Fiction. I was wondering if there were other CF Fans here on the boards as well. How did you discover Christian Fiction? What CF books do you have on your Kindle? What CF books would you like to have on your Kindle? Who are your favorite CF authors?
I always avoided Christian Fiction in the past because I assumed they were "preachy and/or boring" or they were the romance-type stories that my grandmother was always trying to get me to read! In 1987 I discovered Frank E. Peretti's
This Present Darkness (unfortunately not a Kindle book) and found I that his books fit right in with my love for the "supernatural/good vs. evil" type of stories. Along with Peretti, I also enjoy books by Ted Dekker
and Randy Alcorn
. A lot of their earlier works that I really love are not available for Kindle, but I haven't given up! Their newer novels have been kindlized though.
About 2 years ago I was introduced to a female author of CF by the name of Francine Rivers
. When her book Redeeming Love (not on Kindle) was the subject of our book club, I was dreading it, especially when I saw the cover which had "romance novel" written all over it! WOW, was I surprised!! This woman can write! Rivers is a former romance novelist who now writes CF. I guess I would put her in the genre of Historical/romance Fiction, and I really can't believe how much I love her stories!
Well, that is just a little bit of my background with Christian Fiction. I can't wait to hear from others who share this love too. I will be posting additional links and remarks later on.
