Christian Fiction by Year

I've wanted to start this list for a while now! As I've gotten more and more excited about historical fiction I have wanted to keep a little timeline I can refer back to for understanding the world during certain time periods, revisiting as I'm learning something new, and just for fun. 

Here's what I've got so far! I'll try to keep it updated as I go.
