I plan to continue to review many books, but today I thought I would give you my top 5 favorites. It is hard to narrow it down, but I chose the books that really made an impression.
Sophie’s Heart by Lori Wick – I have read this one several times. The main character, Sophie, is so appealing and it was easy to connect with her and cheer for everything to work out for her.
Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn – I love all the sisterchick books, but this was is the one I remember best. Jenna is invited to cook for a group of missionaries in a restored palace in Venice. She invites her sister-in-law, Sue, to come along as a helper. Jenna and Sue have a great time and grow closer as they discuss God and the struggles in their lives.
Just Beyond the Clouds by Karen Kingsbury – The first book A Thousand Tomorrows was excellent, but sad, read. This book continues Cody’s story and he finds love. It also tell more about Carl Joseph and his friend Daisy. My favorite character was Elle, and I loved her patience as she works with Carl Joseph and Daisy.
Evidence of Mercy by Terri Blackstock – This is the first book in the Suncoast Chronicles series, and one I’ve read several times. The story starts with a plane accident and the suspense continues throughout the rest of this fast paced story. Lynda is a spunky attorney and a very likeable Christian woman.
A Penny for Your Thoughts by Mindy Starns Clark – I’ve reviewed this one on the blog, and it’s the first book in a great series. Callie’s job is to investigate nonprofit organizations that have applied for grant money & she stumbles accross a murder mystery. This series is very fast paced and easy to read.
Please post your favorite Christian fiction books, and we’ll all have a great list to refer to when looking for a book to read!
