I simply had to include both of the books in this series, as they are both riveting fictional accounts of biblical history. Book 3 is due out in July of 2019.

Chronicling a little known practice in biblical times, in A Light on the Hill (Cities of Refuge book one) takes us on a journey of a woman kidnapped, branded with the mark of the Canaanite temple gods and then, eventually, accused of murder.

Moriyah is provided refuge in Kedesh, a haven for those accused of the death of another without intent. Betrothed to another, she falls in love with a family member of those she is accused of murdering.

Connilyn Cossette does a beautiful job of illustrating life in biblical times. We hurt for Moriyah and rejoice in her triumphs. A Light on the Hill is an inspiring read for anyone who feels they have lost hope.

In book two, Shelter of the Most High, we are introduced to Sofea and Prezi after they are captured and then escape pirates. Rescued by Eitan, the adopted son of Moriyah, they are accepted and settle into life within the walls of a city of refuge. These strong, yet fearful women learn of Elohim and grow in faith while adapting to a life like none they could have imagined.

While book two overlaps with book one, I read book two first. I was enthralled by the stories and simply had to understand the beginning of this amazing story. While I recommend reading them in order, each is captivating, in their own ways. I’m anxiously awaiting book three.

51YZglhcfpL. SL500

One of my all-time favorite books, Redeeming Love was originally published in 1991. This edition was updated in 2009.

Based on the Book of Hosea from the Bible, in which Hosea is told by God to “marry a prostitute and have children with her.”

In Redeeming Love, we meet Michael Hosea, a farmer who listens to God’s prompting to marry Angel, a local prostitute during the 1850s gold rush of California.

Angel, broken from years of abuse and injustice is relentless in her stubbornness to accept Michael’s love.

Often considered an allegory for how God loves us and His unrelenting pursuit of our hearts, it is a story of forgiveness, love, and hope.

41tYiEKHmNL. SL500

Set in the 1800’s, Treasured Grace is about three sisters who journey west to Oregon territory. During their journey, they winter at a mission that is between two tribes of Native Americans: the Cayuse and the Nez Perce.

Hostility rises between the tribes and the sisters are put in increasing jeopardy.

Tracie Peterson does a great job with character development and setting depiction throughout the book. Vividly portrayed, I found my own heart rate increasing as the sisters encounter danger, drama, and friendship.

If you enjoy American historical fiction, this is a must-read.

416uz6cELNL. SL500

The Hiding Place is the biographical account of a “spinster watchmaker” and her sister, living in a tiny apartment over their father’s shop in German-occupied Holland during and after World War II.

Corrie, a Christian, sacrificed her own life, as well as her family’s to fight against the injustice and hate the Jews faced.

During and after the war, Corrie was in several concentration camps. Despite the horrific circumstances, she praised God for everything she experienced including the fleas biting her skin and the guards who beat her mercilessly.

Corrie and her family exhibited incredible bravery, which saved the lives of many while putting themselves through horror.

Corrie had a deep relationship with God and her faith was marked with courage, few of us will ever be in a position to face.

51M GzrWY L. SL500

A remarkable and beautiful blend of biblical history and prophecy, this book chronicles the story of King Hezekiah. The story, told through the eyes of Ishma, his fictional wife, illustrates life in 732 BC.

We learn of the daily routines and traditions of the Israelites as well as the worship of false gods and the human sacrifices made to these pagan gods.

During this dark and dangerous time, God sends prophets to guide His people and return to Him.

From childhood until the time of his death, Hezekiah, served the Lord and ruled with a servant’s heart despite much opposition.

51BwJ54GetL. SL500

Rich with backstories about the merchant shipping industry as well as medicine, law and high society in the late 19th century London, Ms. Delamere weaves Christian principles and romance into a beautiful story.

Although admittedly, it took me a few chapters to settle into the book, once I was settled in, I could not put it down.

51lO7c6v6ML. SL500

This richly told story takes us on the journey of Marianne Neumann as she accompanies a group of ragtag orphans to the mid-west to find their forever homes.

Woven with romance, suspense and humor, we learn the daunting issues that orphans (and their guardians) faced in the mid-1800s.

Artfully written and meticulously researched, this book has changed me.

While I have always had a heart for motherless and fatherless children and single mothers, this book caused me to reflect on how I am serving orphans today.

51CfLivouBL. SL500

In this compilation of the five books in the Lineage of Grace series, Francine Rivers, brings us close to five women in the lineage of Jesus Christ: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Each woman experienced incredible and sometimes shocking obstacles.

Their stories, though fiction, are based on their stories in the Bible and enable the reader to get a glimpse of what each woman might have felt and endured.

A must-read biblical historical fiction selection.

Futuristic / Science Fiction

christian fiction books online

Few book series have all included books on the bestseller list, much less all sixteen! In this iconic series, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, show us what End Times might look like from a Christian theological standpoint.

The characters are relatable and well developed as they face the Global Community and leader Nicholas Carpathia (as the antichrist).

With high drama and suspense, sprinkled with romance and theology, this series is a classic and nearly required reading for Christian readers.

31r3arUuC+L. SL500

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan was written in 1678, while imprisoned for violating the English law of holding of religious services outside the authority of the established Church of England.

Considered one of the most significant works of religious English literature, it has been translated into over 200 languages. It has also been only one of a handful of novels that has been continuously in print since first publication date.

Pilgrim’s Progress is allegory told as occurring in a dream and narrated by the protagonist, Christian. The story centers on his journey from his hometown, the “City of Destruction” (“this world”), to the “Celestial City” (“that which is to come”: Heaven) atop Mount Zion.

Christian bears a great burden—the knowledge of his sin—which he believed came from his reading a book (the Bible) that he came across while cleaning out the character “Faithful’s” home. This burden, which would cause him to sink into Hell, is so unbearable that he seeks deliverance.

Gripping, the book is dialogue-heavy and the reader should be mindful that it was written hundreds of years’ ago with language that may be described as cumbersome to the modern reader.

I had to read the book several times to pick up on some of the nuances, but truly enjoyed this parallel of sin and faith to God’s plan for redemption.

Contemporary

Leota’s Garden tells the story of a cranky, elderly grandmother, estranged from her family. Leota unknowingly becomes the case study of a university student, Corban.

She is a lonely old woman and deeply desires to be reconnected with her family when her granddaughter, Annie, arrives unexpectedly. As the book evolves, we learn more about Annie and Leota’s life, garden and faith.

Meanwhile, Corban comes face-to-face with his own belief system and examines it in light of Leota and Annie’s faith.

Leota’s Garden is a deep and colorful exploration of family, memories, and forgiveness.

51LkvFzRIRL. SL500

Summed up best in the publishers’ narrative “It’s never too late for those willing to take a chance.” Ellie and her childhood best friend Nolan make a vow to return to an old oak tree eleven years after they go their own way.

Ellie’s life doesn’t turn out the way she hoped while Nolan makes his dreams come true as a star NBA player. Ellie strays from her faith during years of disappointment and turmoil while Nolan is driven deeper into faith through his.

Both facing loneliness and life’s unexpected turns, they reconnect years later through love, loss and a second chance.

It is a beautiful moving story about something we all wish for – a second chance.

51R5aFM7yjL. SL500

The Masterpiece, told from the perspective of the two main characters, Roman, a troubled youth turned sought-after artist and Grace, a struggling single mother, with a turbulent past of her own.

By chance, Grace is hired as Roman’s assistant and there seems to be no end to their clashing, but in classic Francine Rivers form, God has a plan and you’ll find yourself crying with and rooting for both Grace and Roman.

We all have a story. A past that brings us to the place and the people that we are today, but when we open up to the possibilities that God has in store for us, masterful things will happen.

51WmWmKAq4L. SL500

Known for her best-selling Bible studies, The Undoing of Saint Silvanus is Beth Moore’s first foray into the world of Christian fiction.

Part murder mystery, part family drama, The Undoing of Saint Silvanus tells the story of a mysterious church turned apartment house and a hodgepodge group of tenants including the family that owns it with their own complexities of faith and relationship struggles.

This book wraps addiction, mental illness, secrets, and every flavor of family drama into one neat and riveting package. 

41sIQcpd mL. SL500

While not a typical Amish novel, this one straddles the “English” world and the Amish world.

Amanda (Mandy) left her Amish family and community after what she considered a terrible betrayal by her sister.

After living far away with a new life, Mandy returns home upon her mother’s passing to run the family bed and breakfast.

Her mother intends for Mandy to inherit the B&B if she can meet two conditions: run it for one year and turn a profit.

Acclimating back to Amish life proves difficult for Mandy and forces her to examine life, faith, relationships and what’s really important.

41kUtA6sAL. SL500

This was the first novel that I read by author Lisa Wingate and would not be the last. A multi-award winning novel, The Prayer Box, made me a fan of Ms. Wingate.

Tandi Jo, chronic drug user, and her two children, flee from her abusive husband. She ends up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. A place filled with warm memories of her childhood.

With money running out, Tandi Jo agrees to clean out her elderly landlord, Iola’s home, (Tandi Jo and her children’s temporary home), in exchange for a few months of free rent.

When Tandi Jo, finds a box filled with written prayers from Iola to God, and learns Iola’s story, she is forced with taking a look at her own life.

Through Iola’s letters and lessons from her life, Tandi Jo finds her own purpose along the way. 

51fV4H88V+L. SL500

While you can read each of these books as a standalone, they are short and the humor will keep you turning the page for more.

Based in a small town in Colorado, an unlikely variety of women, from all ages and backgrounds meet once a week for a meal and prayer time.

Each member of this Potluck Club, (as they dub themselves) finds themselves in the midst of trouble of varying sorts and rely on each other, and their prayers, to get through.

Friendship in unlikely forms, the comedic writing and uniting faith in God (plus delicious food thrown in for good measure) is the recipe that keeps this book series on my favorite list.

The book also includes a recipe in each chapter, several of which I have tried and enjoyed.

41EL0bFlnBL. SL500

Claire is just like most Christian women I know. She is quirky, real and messes up quite often. As a divorced mom, she faces overwhelm that most of us can relate to and seeks the advice of a life coach.

Through humor, (this book is hysterical, at times), she learns that maybe she doesn’t know best, after all, and that maybe, just maybe, God is in control.

51yKYLvLL. SL500

I was initially drawn to this book for its setting: Missouri, where I call home but found that what really resonated with me was the book’s message “stop and smell the roses”.

Life is so busy.  With our to-do lists and booked calendars, the most important things in life are often relegated to lower on the priority list.

When Kate finds herself faced with the task of convincing her grandmother that she can no longer live alone and care for the family farm that has been her home for decades, she learns that a big house and fancy car aren’t nearly as important as she thought.

41zvQtzka5L. SL500

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Girl has a life-threatening illness. Boy vows to become a doctor to “fix” her.

When everything seems to be going according to plan, a series of tragedies occur and each character is forever changed.

The book is a poignant reminder that all relationships are beautiful and flawed at the same time and that the human heart is much more complex than we can imagine.

Best Christian Fiction to add to your TBR list today

Time to talk about some top Christian books, specifically Christian fiction books, but before we dive into the Christian novels book list, we should probably discuss what makes Christian novels worth reading.

Because there are tons of well-written books out there, and even more that are not so well done. But to niche down specifically to CF, there has to be a good reason. What is the incentive to read Christian books over the latest bestseller in the general market?

And for the record, I put a number in the headline, but there are way more than 21 books in this post. If you follow the genre links towards the middle, you’ll find 100s of the best Christian fiction books to read, for people of all ages!

Please note that this post contains affiliate links for your convenience. If you make a purchase through one of the links, I may make a small commission. I only recommend books and resources that I’ve enjoyed personally, or believe that you would like. You can read my full disclosure here . You will also find information on Scripture translations there.

What to look for in good Christian fiction books

What Makes the Best Christian Fiction Books?

We’ve already talked about the pros and cons of Christian romance books , so we’ll just talk about general Christian novels today.

There are a few things to pay attention to when picking out good Christian fiction books. Just because they make the Best Selling Christian Fiction Books lists , doesn’t necessarily mean they are good. Certain things that make them different from mainstream fiction, or even from “Clean” books (which are wonderful places to visit, too).

Yes, we look for clean books, free of explicit content, and not promoting harmful or evil things. But what sets good Christian books apart is that they unfailingly point to Jesus in some way.

Sharing the Gospel Through Christian Fiction Novels

Good Christian fiction novels share the Gospel. The Good news that Jesus is real, and has a real compassion and involvement in our daily lives. Top rated Christian fiction books have the ability to do that without coming across as preachy. The truth is woven in to the story without beating anyone over the head with it.

Life Lessons of Character In Fictional Christian Books

There are so many life lessons of character, and we can get practice for our own lives by experiencing character building situations alongside the people in fictional Christian books. Whether it’s marriage, parenting, work decisions, friendship issues, dealing with government, or parents, or neighbors, or… great christian fiction books take you on a journey through so many decisions and choices and consequences. Then, when we face them in real life, maybe we’ve picked up how to (or NOT to) handle them a little better!

The Best Christian Fiction Books Point to Jesus

The best Christian fiction books point to Jesus every time. Not “follow your heart” “one day my prince will come” or even “get over it and get back in there.” No. Good Christian fiction books will always show the way Jesus can and will help you through the worst and the best circumstances. Trusting Jesus to get you through.

Top Christian Fiction Books 2019

Top Christian fiction books 2019 would have to include Until the Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette. This Biblical historical fiction account of the goings on in and around one of the Cities of Refuge in the time between Joshua and Judges is AMAZING!

Another unforgettable Christian novel from 2019 is The Sky Above Us by Sarah Sundin. It’s part of a powerful WWII trilogy of 3 brothers whose relationship seems shattered beyond all hope. Or are they?

I thoroughly enjoyed Daughters of Northern Shores by Joanne Bischof, you can see why here . It’s a story of forgiveness that is well done.

Of Fire and Lions by Mesu Andrews was a unique and passionate take on the book of Daniel. Doesn’t cross any lines it shouldn’t, and makes you think hard about your own choices.

Castle on the Rise by Kristy Cambron is part of a fantastic Timeslip trilogy of Christian novels you DO NOT want to miss. Castles, Justice, Mysteries, and sweet romance!

Fragments of Fear by Carrie Stuart Parks was full of suspense and drama, and a dog. in the desert. Does she have a prayer of surviving this?

Shadow Among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens takes the story of Ruth and plants it firmly in Period England. It was unforgettable. You get so lost in the new story that something you should have expected catches you unprepared. Fun and challenging!

Aiming for Love by Mary Conneally is hilarious, sweet, and opens your eyes to looking at things fresh. It is a historical western, and while it has its serious moments, and unsolved riddles (book one in a trilogy), it makes you grateful for the ability to read your Bible!

The Inn at Hidden Run by Olivia Newport is about a genealogist, so there’s definitely a timeslip factor, fun mysteries to solve both in the present and the past, and with it being a father-daughter team, it’s not really a romance. When they rely on God, they get the job done. This is a series of good Christian fiction books you’re not going to want to miss!

Christmas on Breakers Point by Chautona Havig is the start of what looks to be an unforgettable series. Uncle Bud’s last request before his ‘expiration date’ arrives, is for his niece to help restore someone’s faith. A friend who’d gotten tangled up in “Why would God allow such evil” to the point she’d lost her way.

Top Christian Fiction Books 2020

The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin (final book in this WWII trilogy) is a beautiful picture of restoration. Her ability to tie everything together without making feel too neat and clean is awesome!

Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar is on my TBR, as I’ve long been fascinated by Prisilla and Aquilla, and Tessa Afshar is one of my favorite Christian fiction authors! I just picked up the Audible version, and can’t wait to dive in!

The Librarian of Boone’s Hollow by Kim Vogel Sawyer explores the backwoods mountains of the 1930s. An undeniably tough time in history, but a beautiful testimony of purposeful kindness. You can read my full review here.

Daughter of Cana by Angela Hunt is a unique and fun exploration of what it might have been like as the family of one of Jesus’ disciples. Or Jesus’ own brother. The concern, the doubts, the curiosity.

Star of Persia by Jill Eileen Smith was a fantastic telling of the story of Esther, that emphasized wisdom and compassion in beautiful ways.

Tempting Tait by Chautona Havig is a contemporary Good Samaritan story that becomes a marriage of Conviction (NOT Convenience). It’s a beautiful story, and one that will challenge your ‘getting involved’ muscles and ask you to put your actions where your faith is.

The Wilkester Mysteries by Barbara Cornthwaite are really good Christian novels, cozy mysteries that have you evaluating your thought life and insecurities. Brought to Book was wonderful, but book 2, Snuffed Out , was even better!

Best Selling Christian Fiction Books

According to the Amazon’s Best selling Christian Fiction Books list, here are a few highlighted Christian novels that are among the top choices as of the publication of this post:

The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis, which is a series of letters between demons, filled with coaching strategies on how to cause the most damage among the humans. This one will probably always make the best selling Christian fiction lists!

The Esther Paradigm by Sarah Monzon, a contemporary retelling of the book of Esther. Review Here (Spoiler, it’s Great!)

The Circle Series by Ted Dekker, a 4 in 1 collection. This series of Christian novels has been highly recommended to me, and I’m looking forward to diving in.

Hazardous Duty by Christy Barritt is another cozy mystery, about a college student turned crime scene cleaner who uncovers evidence the police missed… it’s a lot of fun, with a budding faith. To date, there are 16 Squeaky Clean Mysteries in this series.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, an American west historical novel based on the book of Hosea. If you don’t cry while reading it, and examine your heart, I’d be surprised! Thankfully, you’ll also laugh a lot while reading this, as with any of Francine Rivers’ Christian novels.

I have to say I like the best selling Christian fiction book list on Amazon , and check it out too often, both the top 100 free and paid! It’s a wonderfully dangerous tool for Christian bookworms!

Best Christian Fiction Books for Teens

If you’re looking for the best Christian fiction books for teens, here are a few I would suggest.

Lisa T Bergen’s River of Time series, both the one in Italy and the one in California . These are great Christian novels for girls who dream of adventure, but you’re not sure how they’d handle it if they actually found it.

No Space Like Home by Dell Tunnicliff is a fun Wizard of Oz allegory set in space. It’s remarkable how much fun I had with these young people! And my faith and compassion grew, too!

Dragons in Our Midst by Bryan Davis is a series of Christian fiction books for teens (and adults) who love a little bit of fantasy mixed with real adventure and spiritual warfare unmasked. Bryan Davis has a couple of other series of Christian novels they’d probably love too!

Susan Muira’s Healer is a contemporary story of a 17 year old girl who has to learn to trust God’s will, his timing, and his wisdom as she discovers an incredible gift. Learning to hold to the truth is a powerful skill for us all!

Melody Carlson and Melanie Dickerson are some more wonderful Christian fiction authors who write Christian fiction books for teens that we don’t have to worry about what they’re being taught.

The Best Christian Fiction Authors to add to your Must Read list

The Best Christian Fiction Authors to Put on your Must Read List

When building your library of Christian fiction books, these are the best Christian fiction authors to keep an eye out for.

As far as Biblical Fiction Authors , you want to keep your eye out for Lynn Austin . Her Chronicles of the Kings and Restoration Chronicles are powerful, offering perspective and hope throughout.

Christian fiction authors like Tessa Afshar , Mesu Andrews , Connilyn Cossette , and Jill Eileen Smith will captivate and encourage you while opening the scriptures for you to experience firsthand in their Biblical fiction accounts.

Some of the best Christian Historical fiction authors, in my opinion, are Lynn Austin again, Penelope J Stokes , Sarah Sundin , Tamara Alexander , Tracie Peterson and Laurine Snelling .

Contemporary Christian fiction books written by Hallee Bridgeman , Chautona Havig , Toni Shiloh , Carol Moncado , Sharon Srock , and Amanda Tru are awesome to read.

Christian Novels of the Suspense genre, if they’re written by Joel Rosenberg , Jerry B. Jenkins , Terri Blackstock , Alana Terry , Carrie Stuart Parks , Robin Caroll , and Ginny Ytrupp are fantastic. Intense, but not overwhelming.

And then of course, there are the classic Christian authors like CS Lewis , Laura Ingalls Wilder , and Charles M Sheldon . They may have been around a long time, but their Christian fiction books are still powerful, meaningful, and relatable today.

These talented Christian fiction writers know how to hook you, and point you to Jesus every step of the way.

Christian novels have a tendency to lift my mood, carry me away for a bit of a break from reality, while preparing me to handle reality with a little more grace and compassion than I might have otherwise.

Time with God will do that, and this is one way I spend time with him. Another way is through short inspirational devotions like these. Or these fun women’s devotionals .

I loved “Though None Go With Me” by Jerry B. Jenkins. Ive read it twice, even better the second time. How DOES a man get into a woman’s head like that. The main character is a girl (high school maybe) and by the end she is 80 or so. Its about how she lives her Christian faith throughout every stage of her life.

That is such a great Christian fiction book! It amazed me too!

Here Are The Top 10 Best Christian Fiction Books

the chronicles of narnia

1. The Chronicles of Narnia

This book is a hardcover collection of C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia series, including all seven novels, introduced by black-and-white images, and an essay by Lewis on the craft of writing. The essay On Three Types of Writing for Children is also included in this collection.

For nearly sixty years, readers across the world, both young and old, have been enchanted by this world where magic and reality meet. It is full of fantastic creatures, heroic acts, epic battles between good and evil, and amazing experiences. The Chronicles of Narnia was first written as a fantasy series, but it is now considered a masterpiece of English literature.

the lord of the rings

2. The Lord Of The Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition

This story is a certified classic of Christian fiction. The first Rings of Power were made by elven smiths, and Sauron used his power to give power to the One Ring so that he could use it to control all the others.

Yet he could not recover the One Ring after searching all of Middle-earth for it. After many years, a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins got it. From the safety of the Dark Tower in Mordor, Sauron could exert his influence over a vast area.

They brought every Great Ring to Sauron, yet he never stopped seeking the One Ring, which would give him absolute power. When Bilbo was eleven and a half, he vanished, leaving his young cousin Frodo with the Ruling Ring and the dangerous goal of traversing Middle Earth, entering the shadow of a Dark Lord, and destroying the Ring by hurling it through the Cracks of Doom.

The Fellowship of the Ring, consisting of the Wizard Gandalf, the Hobbits Frodo Baggins, Merry, Pippin, and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a mysterious tall man named Strider, embark on a perilous journey in The Lord of the Rings .

redeeming love

3. Redeeming Love

Redeeming Love is set in the Gold Rush era of the 1850s in California, a critical period of history when ladies sold their sexuality for a bed in a small town and men traded their souls for only a bag of riches. It follows the story of Angel who anticipates nothing, save for betrayal by men. A juvenile prostitution client’s only means of survival is a healthy dose of her vengeance.

And the men who do so only to leave her feeling drained and lifeless are the ones she despises the most. Suddenly Michael Hosea, a man after God the Father’s own heart, enters her life.

After hearing God’s invitation to love her without conditions, Michael decides to marry Angel. Day by day, he goes against everything that Angel has ever known to be true, and eventually, despite every resistance, her icy heart begins to melt.

Still, the sudden change has left her with crippling feelings of inadequacy and fear. So, Angel takes off. She fled into the night, away from her devoted husband, scared of the reality she could no longer ignore: her ultimate restoration would have to come from the person who loves her more than Michael does.

A life-altering account of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love, Redeeming Love is a retelling of the story of Gomer and his son Hosea.

the screwtape letters

4. The Screwtape Letters

C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters is a masterwork of Christian satire that entertains readers with Screwtape’s subtle and sardonic observations on human nature as a high-ranking aide to the devil, who calls himself Our Father Below. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is the most exciting story ever about the struggle against temptation and eventual victory.

It is both a fun and worthwhile read that offers thought-provoking insights into the human experience and spiritual conflict.

crime and punishment

5. Crime And Punishment

Richard Pevear is a great man and Larissa Volokhonsky’s translation of The Brothers Karamazov won the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Award. They’ve done it again with Dostoevsky’s amazing psychological thriller, updated for his bicentennial.

An act of murder and robbery committed by Raskolnikov, a poor student living in tsarist St. Petersburg, sets in motion a novel nearly unparalleled in literary history in terms of its agonizing suspense, atmospheric suspense vividness, and depth of character and vision.

Fyodor Dostoevsky takes a gruesome murder of an older woman and turns it into the most profound and engaging philosophical work of the nineteenth century by focusing on themes of sin, remorse, and salvation.

the pilgrim's progress

6. The Pilgrim’s Progress: A Readable Modern-Day Version Of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress

John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress Journey can be quite hard to navigate, even for the most accomplished readers. This new edition, which renders the original archaic language into basic conversational English, makes history’s most famous Christian allegory accessible to readers of all ages.

Christian, a man from the City of Destruction, embarks on a journey to the Celestial City to find the truth, and the novel follows his epic journey. Dramatic tension builds as Christian travels through exotic locations and meets fascinating characters, some of whom talk and aid him along his difficult path and others who stand in his way.

Bunyan’s allegorical tale recounts one man’s astonishing journey to faith through encounters with a cast of exciting individuals and excursions to various vivid settings. You can now read Bunyan’s classic and reimagine this renowned quest that has challenged and encouraged believers for ages without sacrificing the accuracy of the original text.

In addition to providing direct citations from the Bible, this book also offers a biblical study method that can be used privately or in a group setting. The story’s message of perseverance, faith, and redemption has been a source of inspiration and encouragement for countless believers .

the shack

7. The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity

Missy, the youngest of the two children and the daughter of Mackenzie Allen Philips, goes missing while the family is on holiday in Oregon. Relics from what may be her horrible murder are discovered in a remote cabin.

For some reason, four years later, when Mack is in the throes of his Great Sorrow, God invites him back to the hut for the weekend. He foolishly returns to the scene of his worst dread on a cold winter afternoon, arriving at the house.

What Mack discovers there will irrevocably alter his life. In a secular world, religious faith seems less and less critical. In The Shack , the age-old issue “Where is God in such a world fraught with unimaginable pain?” is explored at length. The information Mack uncovers will shock him and change him forever. It should be no surprise that everyone you know will be willing to pick up a copy of this book.

before we were yours

8. Before We Were Yours: A Novel

The year is 1939, and Memphis is the place. Rill Foss, age twelve, and her four siblings enjoy a fantastical existence on their family’s shanty boat on the Mississippi River. But when Rill’s father has to hurry their mother toward the hospital during a storm, Rill is left in charge until a group of strangers arrives.

Abandoned by their parents and placed in the care of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society, the Foss children are told they will soon be reunited with their family. Nevertheless, they soon come to understand the grim reality. Rill struggles to protect her family from the facility’s ruthless director and the uncertain future it presents. Current day: Aiken, South Carolina.

Avery Stafford, who was raised in a privileged environment, appears to have a promising profession as a federal prosecutor, a good-looking fiancé, and a big wedding on the horizon. Yet when Avery returns to her hometown to help her father through a health crisis, a chance meeting leaves her with unsettling questions and forces her to embark on a journey through her family’s long-hidden history, which could end in destruction or redemption.

Lisa Wingate’s compelling, heartbreaking, and uplifting story is based on one of the most infamous scandals in American history: the head of a Memphis-based adopting company, Georgia Tann, kidnapped and sold underprivileged children into wealthy families across the country.

the hiding place

9. The Hiding Place

A remarkable preacher and survivor of Hitler’s prison camps, Corrie ten Boom, was originally a Dutch watchmaker. She and her family put themselves in danger to aid Jews and underground laborers during World War II, and as a result, they were put through the wringer in one of the Nazi concentration camps. Corrie ten Boom was the only member of her family found dead to make it out alive to tell the tale of how faith can overcome evil.

This page-turning narrative details how Corrie ten Boom and her family helped rescue many of the Israelites. For 35 years, millions of people have witnessed that no depth is too low for God’s love to reach. Reissued for a new audience, The Hiding Place maintains its message that God’s love can ultimately triumph, heal, and restore.

when crickets cry

10. When Crickets Cry

The beginning of this captivating story opens in a quiet Southern town in the shaded town square. The lemonade stand run by an enterprising seven-year-old girl is rather successful. A scar on the little girl’s chest is visible despite her lovely yellow clothing.

A bearded man finishes his drink and walks out to his car, thinking about his own life and the boat he’s fixing up at the adjacent lake. It turns out that he knows more about the scar than he is willing to say.

What’s more, their lives are about to be altered by the battered bread truck careening from around the corner with its radio blaring. They’ll both learn that there are sad reasons for crickets to weep and that you can find miracles in the most uncommon places before it’s all over.

What Can Christian Fiction Books Offer?

People often look to fiction books as a method to escape from the world, but these stories can also be a tool for spiritual growth. Reading has been known to help people unwind, expand their knowledge, and get the confidence they need to develop their own reading and writing skills. Reading fiction benefits Christians because it can broaden their worldview, deepen their understanding of the Bible, and even serve as a form of prayer.

Christians who are less dogmatic in their faith can read whichever novels they like. However, believers need to be careful and recognize their own limitations. You always have the option to close the book, especially if it makes you feel guilty or tempts you to sin. Christians can gain valuable knowledge from reading various works, not just Christian fiction.

person reading a book in a bustling city cafe and best christian fiction books

Whether or not it proclaims the Christian faith, good literature will inspire, challenge, and educate its readers, leaving them with a lasting impression. The sins of profanity, violence, sexual settings, and the more subtle sins of idolatry and self-worship are often not openly displayed in Christian fiction, as it offers more than just the thrill of these transgressions.

In a corrupted world, it’s only natural for characters, as humans with a life of their own, to make mistakes. Nevertheless, the dismal realities of life are not shown in Christian fiction for the simple purpose of realism or for the sake of excitement but rather to lead the reader to the only trustworthy source of hope : God Himself.
