Tamara Georges  (tamarasinnamon) A good series I just read is The Homelanders by Andrew Klavan. It's a four book series and is an action book. It's totally clean and very engaging, also Christian so that's a plus. :)

Good job y'all ((((:


message 7: by Tamara (new)

Tamara Georges  (tamarasinnamon) I second your recommendation too Aerykah!

@MK It's about a boy in high school who wakes up one day and is in serious trouble and he doesn't remember how he got there or what's happening. There's more to the story but saying it would give it away. ;)

Ever read a book where it seems like the character says "y'all" way more than is really... believable? Yeah, that would be me. I really do say it a lot. Haha! ;P

M.K. Aneal (mkaneal) | 6178 comments Mod
Okay so first I'd have to suggest- "The Hiding Place" One of my all time favorite books!!! So powerful, true story of Corrie Ten Boom. Check it out (: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I'm only a quarter into this book but its just so touching and a true story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Great uplifting story here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And this: a simple but great, moving read ((: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Let me know if any of those look good to you? (:

I've wanted to read that!!! Just haven't been able to find it cheap ); Hahahah ((;

BetteandWayne Price | 30 comments Hey guys! It might seem too forward to say this but Bette and I have a non-fiction autobiography book published that shows the power and forgiveness of the Lord in the present day. Obviously not with the power of The Hiding Place but still good. The Kindle version will be free in the middle of January but it is inexpensive now ($2.99). http://amzn.to/1kDNips

Aw, that's terrific :D xD Looks like a great read!!!


Lyd's Archive (7/'15 to 6/'18) (violabelcik) I liked the Devil's Kiss series (2 books) but my dad did not because they messed up the whole angels thing. The second book Dark Goddess is good, but you would probably have to read the first one before.

I also really enjoyed Between Shades of Gray and The Lost Crown which have vaguely biblical themes in some parts.

brooke1994  (formerlynarnian525) | 679 comments I really enjoyed The Aedyn Chronicles by Allister McGrath, they're Christian fantasy similar to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Manny Martinez | 1 comments A good children's book that talks about the consequences of lying and also gives kids the gospel is Edgar and the Lying Potion. My kids really enjoyed it. eBook is only $.99 on Kindle, iBooks and other ebook retailers.

Edgar and the Lying Potion by Jeremy C Crisp

HailSaira | 95 comments Does anyone know of any good fictional novels about a younger main character who looks up to a role older model character? Thanks!


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Try Mars Diaries by Sigmund Brower. The main character is a teenager though. They are Christian books.


message 46: by HailSaira (new)

HailSaira | 95 comments Thank you so much Elizabeth! I'm excited to acquire them and start reading!


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

You're welcome!


message 48: by jax (new)

jax (warpotato) Does anyone know of any devotional sort of books that deal with understanding Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit separately? I just struggle with this specific subject and how to see them separately. This can also include scripture! Any suggestions?
