What our some of our past guest's favorite Christian historical novels? That's what we're discussing this week. Several authors phoned in and shared with us what they love to read and some of the books that influenced their reading or writing. There is a wide variety of answers, and I found a few that I'm adding to my TBR.

Terri Wangard told us about her favorite series, Daughters of Fortune, by Judith Pella, her bestselling historical series set at the onset of World War II. The three Hayes daughters couldn't be more different. But when war separates them across the globe, they learn true significance of family.

Get Somewhere a Song.

Candice Sue Patterson phoned in to tell us that her favorite Christian historical novel is A Note Yet Unsung by Tamara Alexander.

Get A Note Yet Unsung.

Amanda Cabot chimed in with her favorite Christian historical novel, Angel Sister by Ann Gabhart.

Get Angel Sister.

I put Leslie Gould on the spot during her upcoming interview to ask about her favorite book. She shared that it is A Sweetness to the Soul  by Jane Kirkpatrick. 

Get A Sweetness to the Soul.

Tracie Peterson joined us to share with us her favorite Christian historical novel. Actually, she has two favorite series, The Zion Covenant and The Zion Chronicles, both by Brock and Bodie Thoene. With their themes of war and the establishment of the modern state of Israel, they are inspiring to Tracie, especially in light of what is happening in the world today.

Get The Zion Covenant Series.

The Zion Chronicles series is also available on Amazon and other book retailers.

I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by to share the book that started my love of Christian fiction, that being Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke. Many of you probably agree with me that it is what ushered you into the world of Christian historical fiction. In many way, it's the book and the series that started it all. 

Get Love Comes Softly.

The rest of the series is available on Amazon and other book retailers.
