Christian fiction that takes place primarily in the workplace



I really enjoy exploring settings through fiction. I like traveling through books, I like time traveling through books, and I like exploring different jobs through books. Here are a few books that focus fairly heavily on the protagonists workplace as a setting.

Bookshop by the Sea... This is the first of many very obvious bookshop stories because, well, it's a favorite setting of mine.

Catching Christmas... Our hero is a cab driver so our workplace setting here is a taxi cab.

The Lost Manuscript... Our protagonist here is teaching in a college while searching for a lost historical manuscript and I think about this book all the time!

Love and a Little White Lie... The workplace in this story is a church... but the employee is secretly a non-believer! This one was fun.

Meet Me in the Margins... So much of this fun book took place in a publishing house with a little taking place at a convention. This one was also really fun. 

The Printed Letter Bookshop... This is, of course, another bookshop story!

The Ringmaster's Wife... This traveling circus time slip takes the workplace all over the map and all through time!

The Second Story Bookshop... The title of course makes it obvious that this one is set in a bookshop.

A Skeleton in God's Closet... an archeological dig is a pretty cool book setting,  if you ask me. This one had me hooked through the very end.

Tacos for Two... I really enjoyed this romcom, set primarily in a taco truck!

These Tangled Threads... I hesitated to put this one in this list. A good portion of this book is spent on the move, attempting to locate one of the weavers needed to complete a project.

Things I Never Told You... A big part of Peyton's story takes place in her party planning office or the high school where she coaches volleyball.

To Love a Beast... This Beauty and the Beast Retelling is set in the beast's large estate, mostly in the home library our book binder Belle is working in.

Until Leaves Fall in Paris... Another bookshop, this one in Paris!

The Wedding Dress Christmas... This story will mean more to you if you read The Wedding Dress (which I loved!) first. This one takes place primarily in a wedding Dress shop in Tennessee. 

The Words Between Us... This is another bookstore setting. This one was a bit edgier than most Christian fiction but I did enjoy it.
