Here is a link to a list of the top 50 Christian books. The link was posted on one of my fiction writers listservs. It was pointed out that many of the titles are fiction. If you are curious, then take a look:

The only fiction title on the list that I’ve read is Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I have at least one of the non-fiction titles, but I don’t really read much non-fiction these days(except for my Bible.)

Anybody read any of the fiction titles on the list? If so, what did you think about them? Why do you think they are listed as part of the top fifty?

I love Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I guess because it showed how anybody, no matter what sin you have committed, can change and accept God’s grace. The heroine(can’t recall her name) has lived a hard life and she doesn’t get to know the Lord until she meets the right man. I read this book years ago, and I’m assuming it’ll continue to sell for many years to come. I still see it gracing the shelves when I go to Christian bookstores.

Stay blessed,
