Christian suspense romance is a totally unexpected, very specific genre I’ve discovered lately! Colleen coble, Lynette Eason, Dani pettrey, etc. are all authors who write well with fast paced plots and sweet (not cringy) romances
Oh my days!! I've been talking/thinking to God about Christian fiction specifically romance. I didn't know it existed, do you have more recommendations?
When I was younger, I was watching the Narnia movie and Aslan was being killed I was upset, but I was crying tears of joy. I didn’t know why. My mom explained that Aslan is a type of Christ. And now that I think of it, that’s probably why typology is my favorite thing to study in the Bible.
I love Tessa’s books !! Her newest is so good, around Esther! You’re right, they do take a lot to start but they’re worth sticking until the end! I haven’t read many Christian contemporary fiction, but I’ve heard great things about Becky Wade and Nicole Deese!!
I just finished reading a fantasy Christian book called " wonderland trials" by Sara Ella. It's probably one of the best Christian fiction books I've ever read, totally recommend 😅
PLEASE read Colleen Coble!! Her writing is excellent, and the 4 books I have read so far are so captivating. Only a few cringe parts lol but the books I have read are not particularly “romance” books so that may be why. Highly recommend!!! The series I’m almost through with is the Lavender Tides series! 😇
Yes, I so recommend!! I have a hard time with Christian fiction too because of poor writing quality, but Colleen Coble (especially her newly published books) writes well
Did you like the Pilgrims Progress? I have tried to read it many times and I just can not get through it, I have given up on it. Many Christians just love it, I would not say that I hated it it, but I definitely did not "speak" to me.
Ooo, girlypop, to go along with Pilgrims Progress, maybe try Little Women. It’s structured around PP, and is (along with Narnia) my favorite Christian fiction out there (actually just my favorite in general)
If anyone's looking, I once accidentally picked up Little Faith because I didn't realize it would be Christian, but I thought it was pretty good in the end.
I'm not sure if her books can be tagged as Christian fiction, but I think the novels by Nicole Baart are very Christian in the plot and themes. Few years ago, I read "After the Leaves Fall," the first of a trilogy and I remember being super blessed by the story. I'm actually planning to read it again just to refresh my memory and so I can continue reading the second and the third book. :) Thanks for this video, btw! Reminds me to get back to reading my Christian fiction collection, and hey, yeah, maybe try reading Chronicles of Narnia coz I'm really curious about C.S. Lewis!!!
If you like Christian fantasy, you should try Karen Hancock! She is such a hidden gem! I love her Legends of the Guardian King series so much! And her standalone novel, Arena, is more sci-fi but is so fantastic!
@@rebeccasmiffDefinitely check out The Atonement Child! It’s such a beautiful book! So many people I know that have read it (including myself) have absolutely loved it and given it five stars.
You should read reedeming love, if you haven't already. Haley Pham (big booktuber) has read it and loves it, I loved it too and it's not cringey at all. It's a very deep emotionally complicated story that unravels beautifully.
Try the Fireflies in December Series by Jennifer Valent and Midnight Dance or Elusive Truth of Lily Temple by Joana Polatio! Both are so so excellent. I have a similar issue w Christian fiction being cringey and thes one’s had me gripped!
Tbh I pressed on this video to see if you are going to say anything bad about Christian books but I’m happy I stayed till the end and I was able to see that the whole reason behind you making this video is not to mock the religion at all
Terri Blackstock has been a favorite author of mine for a long time. If you havent read her older stuff, give it a try. Also Dee Henderson writes good Christian cop dramas.
YES! I'm in agreement with you about Christian fiction being cringe. But I don't like C.S. Lewis either, so there's that. Did you not like Pilgrim's Progress? It is a harder read, possibly if the Christian doesn't read the King James Bible on a regular basis? 🤷♀
knew what the last book was just from the blurred image. 😆the chronicles of narnia was one of my favorite series growing up!!

I love the valley of vision! I read one daily like a devotional.
Love this video! ✨ Also I feel like Christian books and movies can either be cringe or super good lol!!!
True!

It was definitely hard to read! I listened to the audiobook which made it a lot easier.

If you’re looking for more Christian fiction books, I’d highly recommend Beyond The Break by Heather Buchta. It’s YA and I loved it.

Anything Francine Rivers is amazing.
- Redeeming Love
- The Mark of The Lion series
- The Atonement Child
All of it 🙂↕️
That’s what I’ve been hearing!
