Overview

Looking for Christian novels, so many of other novels include cursing, sex, violence..... Desire more easy / friendly / clean ... reads - Have you found any such books?

Please explain.

Hi, jd1.. You asked this same question on August 9th or 19th. What did you think about the book. I just read the reviews again and apparently, the author did not pursue the "faith" aspect of Christ, but researched him as a man only. To me, that's not a biography of Jesus Christ.

Yes, the Holy Bible.

It's kind of pricy.

Salt & Light; The Complete Jesus I recently finished this.

I arrived at work after being on a business trip for a week. Our Chief Financial Officer walked into my office and apologized about snooping around my bookcases while dropping off paperwork that I needed to sign. "There's no need to apologize." He asked "Why do you have a biography of Moses? Have you read it yet?" I responded "Every book on the shelf has been read. I can finish a book on one round trip. About a book a week is read. I bought "Moses" because I was interested in seeing what possible additions could be added from a Jewish perspective." He replied "I see you hope from topic to topic." "What ever peaks my interest at the time." Then I told him "I know you are Jewish. If you like you are welcome to take any book at any time to read and maybe we can discuss what you've read. I'd like to get a Jewish observation and compare it with I've understood." It would be interesting ... I read the entire "Left Behind" series. It was fun to walk the terminals and have people come up "You are two books ahead of me, what happened to "whatever character?" NO! don't tell me and ruin my reading .." Everyone was carrying those books at the time.

Tom Clancy was so good, the Pentagon called him in to learn how he was almost 100% accurate on his story about "Red October" My favorite was "Executive Orders" Terrorists crash a plane into the Capitol Building. Joint session of Congress, Joint Chefs, SCOTUS, President all, there to swear in Jack as the VP. Jack is in the White House preparing to ride to the Capitol for the ceremony. Something I learned since that book. A top official is sworn in at the White House, then a public ceremony afterward. So technically when the President and all of the top layer of the government was killed in the terrorist attack. Jack was then President of the US technically. The book goes through the hunt to find the terrorists involved while setting up the new government to replace what was killed. Good Book.

I have finished reading Paris Dressmaker by Kristy Cambron: I would give the book 5 stars. It is well written. The two main characters are two women during WW2 in France who are involved with the underground resistance. The book is not slow. The book goes back and forth to two dates which is 1939 and 1944. It is not difficult to follow. I would have liked to see more of God in this Christian fiction Novel.

I have just started reading "The Paris Dressmaker" by Kristy Cambron Paris, 1939. Maison Chanel has closed, thrusting haute couture dressmaker Lila de Laurent out of the world of high fashion as Nazi soldiers invade the streets and the City of Light slips into darkness. Lila’s life is now a series of rations, brutal restrictions, and carefully controlled propaganda while Paris is cut off from the rest of the world. Yet in hidden corners of the city, the faithful pledge to resist. Lila is drawn to La Resistance and is soon using her skills as a dressmaker to infiltrate the Nazi elite. She takes their measurements and designs masterpieces, all while collecting secrets in the glamorous Hotel Ritz—the heart of the Nazis’ Parisian headquarters.?But when dashing René Touliard suddenly reenters her world, Lila finds her heart tangled between determination to help save his Jewish family and to bolster the fight for liberation. Paris, 1943. Sandrine Paquet’s job is to catalog the priceless works of art bound for the Führer’s Berlin, masterpieces stolen from prominent Jewish families. But behind closed doors, she secretly forages for information from the underground resistance. Beneath her compliant facade lies a woman bent on uncovering the fate of her missing husband . . . but at what cost? As Hitler’s regime crumbles, Sandrine is drawn in deeper when she uncrates an exquisite blush Chanel gown concealing a cryptic message that may reveal the fate of a dressmaker who vanished from within the fashion elite. Told across the span of the Nazi occupation, The Paris Dressmaker highlights the brave women who used everything in their power to resist darkness and restore light to their world. When I am done I will give you my critique.

Just read O'Reilly's "Killing the Killers" Just following the news, there was not much revealed in this book.

SHHHhHHHHH. Quiet please, this is a library. LOL!

I have read a couple of Billy Graham non fiction and liked it. I have read a couple of Randy Alcorn fiction and liked it. I liked the Left Behind series. I have found that Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker are too dark for me. Although I liked the Circle series that Ted Dekker did many years ago.

I read just about everything. I try to stick to Christian, but I don't always. My favorite authors for non-fiction are Billy Graham, Randy Alcorn, Josh McDowell, Lee Strobel, & Kyle Idleman. My favorite fiction authors are Jerry Jenkins, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, Janette Oke.

Just started it.

I am now reading one of the old classics. Little Women which was published in 1868. I have never read it. It is a thick book.

I will post the books I really and perhaps 4 stars or 5 stars and give a description of the book. I will give my critique. What genre do you like and what genre will you not read?

I had just learned about the club section of Worthy and thought I would try out the book club. Everyone must be reading because there is basically no one on here talking about the books they are reading. I'm going back to my book, "The Holy Spirit' by Charles C. Ryrie. I used to love the Book Report part of school!

I just finished reading Nimrod - Darkness in the Cradle of Civilization by Steven Merrill written in 2004. It is Christian fiction but with lots of scripture and reference. I have been studying Genesis and when I got to the chapters of Noah and his descendants I realized I new very little about Nimrod and his part in the Tower of Babel. Off I went looking and found this older book. For anyone searching for history on why evilness permeates our world today, look no further. This book, while the story is fiction and based quite a bit on mythology and legend, it will give you the basic facts of what we as believes are up against on an earth where the evil one reigns in the hearts and minds of people. “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This sounded interesting but was not in my library.

The Chairman by Dr. Harry Lee Kraus jr. This book has close to 500 pages. It is about a quadriplegic. I would give it 5 stars. I enjoyed reading the story. The ending is a shocker.

I have. They're very good.

Have you read Tracie Peterson? She is a fantastic Christian author. She writes stories usually trilogies about the early decades 17-1800's. They are really great. Try Brides of Gallatin County. Also very good is Yukon Quest about the gold rush in Alaska.

I know he doesnt write what one would call Christian fiction but i'm really into fantasy, esp Brandon Mull's books.
