Why We Love Christian Fiction
At Baker Book House, we love getting lost in a good story. Our evenings are often spent curled up with a compelling novel. We especially love reading books that reflect Christian values and impart lessons from authors who write about themes of faith, redemption, and the importance of living a Christ-centered life.
Top Christian Fiction Books
Christian Historical Fiction
Historical fiction uses real life events as its background while injecting enough fiction to tell an engrossing story within it. They may let us imagine what it was like to live in biblical times, to be a missionary, or experience major world events. Many works of Christian historical fiction are about people who live through turbulent periods in history, such as World War II, and how faith helped them get through their struggles.
Classic Christian Fiction Books
No list of great Christian fiction books can be complete without the classics. There are hundreds of years of great Christian fiction from the past that still retain their power today. Some classic Christian fiction may be a bit more challenging, but that challenge is what helps us learn and grow as readers.
Fantasy Christian Books
While many Christian fantasy books are often associated with childrens and teens, there are plenty of great titles for adults, too. While these books are not set in our own world, their authors carried Christian inspirations into the fantasy setting they created. Modern fantasy literature really kicked off with C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The Christian values both authors imparted into their epics have influenced fantasy for decades.
Christian Romance Novels
While romance literature is often associated with themes that don’t quite mix with Christian fiction, there is a huge audience for romance novels with Christian values. There is also a lot of crossover between Christian romance novels and Christian historical fiction. Many of the most popular novels in the genre take place in the 1800s.
Christian Books for Teens
Fiction is a great way for teens to dip their toe into new concepts in a safe environment. Gifting a teen a good book is also a great way to start a conversation and bond with them over something you both love. While these books are largely geared towards a teen audience, that doesn’t mean that adults won’t love them, too!
Christian Books for Young Adults
Young adulthood is a time of great transition, and finding stability and comfort through faith is the rock many young people need. These are some of the books that have been important to the young people in our lives.
