Sisters in Christ, Come on in and grab a cup of tea.
Let's talk about ... Top 5 Books Christian Divas Are Reading. What are you reading this summer? Are you reading any good Christian Fiction?
I don't know about you but I love to read in the summer especially on the beach.
I will spend 8 hours and just read. I get very angry when the book I chose is terrible because
the environment is right, the sun is right and all I need is for the book to be good. I love to read fictions on the beach but that is my thing. I especially love Historical Christian Fiction which are few and far between. Let me be honest finding a good Christian book is hard to find period. Some writers are just awful and their characters stereotypical Christians. You know I hated scary Christians and I hate books where the main characters are these weird scary people.
I tend to go by recommendations as to what book to check out first. Sometimes I buy books and put them on my shelf and then I discover them years later, lol. Here are a few books my social media pals told me were great or they are reading. I took an inform poll and tried to narrow down my list.
1. Then Came Hope
The Civil War is over. She wants to get far away from her cruel former mistress, but the world beyond the plantation is a frightening, unknown wilderness. He has fought the good fight in Union blue; now he must fight his way home through a hostile, defeated South. Delia was born a slave and then physically and emotionally battered all of her seventeen years. Finally free, she strikes out on her own, making friends with a little band of former slaves and a handsome black soldier, Ezra Johns.
2. REIGN: THE CHRONICLES OF JEZEBEL
This book the choice Jezebel had to make between the gods of her homeland or the God of the land she ruled. The love of her husband or the revenge she craved. Her decision could bring her all she desired...or destroy it for eternity.
4. Stand By Me
