Christian Fiction AuthorsFebruary 2, 2013 by Brownsburg_Public_Library | Leave a comment

Christian Fiction is an increasingly popular segment of the publishing world, with many well-

known and best-selling authors  that appeal to a wide variety of

readers.  Christian Fiction encompasses many subgenres…romance, mysteries,

westerns, historical fiction, “gentle reads”, “chick lit”, novels that focus on a particular

religious order or community, and just regular realistic fiction.  Authors range from formative

classics–Lloyd Douglas, Taylor Caldwell, Catherine Marshall–to contemporary bestsellers–

Karen Kingsbury, Jan Karon, T. Davis Bunn, Tim LaHaye.  Some authors are “gentle reads”;

some are not.  The common thread among these varying forms is the resolution of

narrative conflict through Christian principles.
