Christian fiction men will enjoy

 

Happy Friday!

My (blog) goal was to put up another book list today and I'm so happy to be doing it! This was a pretty rough week for naps AND bedtime sleep plus we had several activities out of the house so I didn't get much time to work on it before today. Good books have inspired me a thousand times and I hope to be able to use these book lists to point someone, even just one person, toward a book that inspires them. This one is for the fellas! As always, I'll try to update this as I find more in the future.

The Auschwitz Escape... I loaned this one to my grandpa and he devoured it in one day then went on to read and love the author's Last Jihad series, too. For the record, my grandpa's favorite secular authors are Tom Clancy and CJ Box.

The Barrister and the Letter of Marque... Fans of Sherlock Holmes will enjoy this one.

The Circle series... This series is circular rather than linear, such a unique concept! This one will appeal to fantasy and dystopian fans. 

Deadline... This one was like a thrill ride combined with introspection on what's important in the life of a man. I was not the target audience but still found it enjoyable. 

Eli... A "modern" retelling of Jesus, though now this would practically be historical fiction! 

The Harbinger... Biblical prophecy in modern times, pretty cool read! My husband and I also watched the documentary and enjoyed it. There is a sequel that I do plan to read at some point but I haven't yet.

The List... An elite group and a hint of supernatural, definitely plowed through this one trying to see what would happen next!

This Present Darkness... Supernatural warfare, a little scary for your fraidy-cat girl here but a very popular book!

The Screwtape Letters... This classic, by the author of the Chronicles of Narnia, is probably not for everyone. But I enjoyed it! It's an epistolary novel, a series of letters back and forth between two demons, an uncle and a nephew. Sci-fi fans, I've also heard great things about his space trilogy but haven't read it myself.

A Skeleton in God's Closet... This archaeologist story was fantastic! What if an artifact was unearthed that disproved Christianity? Page-turner for sure. 

A Time to Stand... This was a great story about a black lawyer defending the white police officer who shot an unarmed black teenager. I wasn't sure how it would hold up given the racial and political media these days but I really liked this read! Great for fans of John Grisham. 

The Witnesses... I enjoy both WWII stories and legal stories so this was an easy hit for me.

I have also enjoyed some secular publications with a strong faith focus by Mitch Albom- The Time Keeper (my husband read & liked this one, too) and The Stranger in the Lifeboat, also his nonfiction Tuesdays With Morrie.
