Hi Connie! You and me both. 😉 Thanks so much for visiting. Good luck!

Hi Trixi! Sorry it took me a few days to respond. Thank you SO much for these book recommendations. Adding them to my list now. 😉 Yes, it’s a long list, but I don’t mind. It never hurts to dream, right? I like having so many wonderful stories to choose from when I pick up a new book to read. And these sound great. I’ve only read a few Biblical fiction stories so far, but each one still stands out to me even now. They’re hard to forget! Plus, you know me… I love historicals and books that tell a story through two different time periods are especially gripping. 🙂 So happy to share similar reading tastes with you. Thanks again, my friend. Take care!

Well hello Savanna! I always enjoy your posts too, whether it’s a giveaway or a review of the books you’ve read. You’re always so positive about them even when you didn’t quite enjoy them as you would have liked.
The two books I have sitting on my shelf are “Pharaoh’s Daughter” by Mesu Andrews and “The Tomb” by Stephanie Landsem. I just recently read a three book series by Lynne Gentry called the Carthage Chronicles (Healer of Carthage, Return to Exile & Valley of Decision). While not labeled Biblical fiction, she does take you to third Century Carthage where the persecution of Christians & the church first started. Think of the Romans throwing early Christians in the arena to die at the hands of big cats or by beheading if you didn’t renounce Christ. It was very bloody and considered a sport. Everyone would attend & cheer the “gladiators”. It really brought that time in Biblical history to life for me & touched me in a deep way! It also centers around Cyprian Thascius, who I learned was a real person & how the ending of persecution came through him. It was a very fascinating history lesson done very well through fiction writing. Oh, and they are time slip story….bringing a 21st Century doctor of modern medicine into 3rd Century trying to fight ancient plagues (typhoid and measles). Which is a whole ‘nother layering of this series! 🙂 If you have time, you really should invest in reading these books, I highly recommend them!! They are raw emotional stories that feel so real you can see and taste everything that’s going on. And the depth makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action!
So I hope that answers your question 🙂 And maybe a book recommendation or two. I know, like me, your TBR pile is out of control…haha! There are just some books that stand out more to me than others and Lynne’s were certainly that! 🙂

Wonderful, Amanda! I hope you’ll get to check it out soon. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!

Awesome, Vicki! Glad to hear it. Happy Reading! 😉

It is fun to mix it up, isn’t it, Joan? What are you reading right now?

Thanks for stopping by!

So true and so important, Sonnetta. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day!

Hi sweet Trixi! I’m always happy to scroll through and see you’ve commented. Isn’t that puppy absolutely precious? I agree, I love the idea of photographing them to encourage adoption.

I hope you get the opportunity to read Angela’s books soon. Biblical fiction is such a unique genre and can tell a story so powerfully! What are some of the other Biblical fiction books you have on your shelves?
