I have a wonderful bloggerland friend, Amy. Amy does a ton for us bloggers and provides lots of encouragement. Check out her cool blog here. She has a Faith N Fiction Saturday feature that I have decided to be a part of. Here's is this week's topic:
Welcome to Faith 'n Fiction Saturday!
One thing we share in common is a love of books. I know there are participants of Faith 'n Fiction Saturdays that read over 200 books a year!
But while we may read a lot of books, only a few books in our lifetimes are special enough that we would never part with them, always recommend them, and maybe even reread them.
So...what fiction books with faith elements are on your keeper shelf? Please keep your answers to no more than 5 books!
Here's my answer:
1. I have a shared pick with Amy: I choose the Mark of the Lion Series by Francene Rivers. I love this series and have recommended it time and time again.
2. Nobody by Creston Mapes. This book challenged me and some of my preconceived notions and spoke to my heart about faith.
3. Happily Even After by Marilynn Griffith. This book spoke to my heart and all my insecurities about my weight, my mothering skills, etc. It was wonderful reminder to be real about my faith.
4. Another shared pick with Amy (great minds...) is Quaker Summer. It challenged me and encouraged contentment in my life.
5. Another series for me is the Red, Black, and White trilogy by Ted Dekker. I had tears in my eyes when I read of God's love and sacrifice for us.
Of course there are more books I could write about, but I will stop at five as the rules state.
What are some of your choices?
