Ted Dekker: not the world's best writer, but excellent storyteller. Gripping. Like a cross between King, Koontz, and Lewis, in terms of storytelling.

Joel Rosenberg. Well-written, gripping, like Tom Clancy but without all the mumbo-jumbo.

James Scott Bell. Reminiscent of Grisham.

There y'go.

For a while, I was into a series of historical novels by Brock and Bode Thoene.

Here's a good one that works well considering our current geo-political struggles--fanatical Islam, indifferent Europe, the bravery of a few valiant fighting men, etc.:


Angels in Iron

Would any consider John Bunyon's PILGRIM'S PROGRESS to be fiction? If so, it is the only work of "christian fiction" I have read, and well worth it.

How do you define "Christian fiction"...

Poorly written, simplistic stuff like anything by Grace Livingston Hill?

Or stuff that delves into good and evil and God, such as works by Tolstoy, Sigrid Undset, Walker Percy, Edmund O'Connor, Flannery O'Connor, JRR Tolkien, etc.?

I assume that you mean fiction by authors that are Christian. Pretty much anything by Stephen King is good.

I'd plug my own book, but the moderator asked me to stop.
