Biblical Fiction Challenge 2010


The Twiga Blog is hosting the Biblical Fiction reading challenge for all of 2010. The goal is to read SIX books. (6 fiction books based on stories or characters from the Bible)

I don't know which six I'll be reading *for sure*. But this is what I'm considering:

Gods and Kings by Lynn Austin (#1 in Chronicles of the Kings)
Song of Redemption by Lynn Austin (#2 in Chronicles of the Kings)
The Strength of His Hands by Lynn Austin (#3 in Chronicles of the Kings)
Faith of My Fathers by Lynn Austin (#4 in the Chronicles of the Kings)
Among the Gods by Lynn Austin (#5 in the Chronicles of the Kings)
A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers (#1 in the Mark of the Lion)
An Echo in the Darkness by Francine Rivers (#2 in the Mark of the Lion)
As Sure As The Dawn by Francine Rivers (#3 in the Mark of the Lion)
The Priest by Francine Rivers (#1 in Sons of Encouragement)
The Warrior by Francine Rivers (#2 in Sons of Encouragement)
The Prince by Francine Rivers (#3 in Sons of Encouragement)
The Prophet by Francine Rivers (#4 in Sons of Encouragement)
The Scribe by Francine Rivers (#5 in Sons of Encouragement)
Unveiled by Francine Rivers (#1 in The Lineage of Grace Series)
Unashamed by Francine Rivers (#2 in The Lineage of Grace)
Unshaken by Francine Rivers (#3 in The Lineage of Grace)
Unspoken by Francine Rivers (#4 in The Lineage of Grace)
Unafraid by Francine Rivers (#5 in The Lineage of Grace)
The Gate of Heaven by Gilbert Morris (#3 in Lions of Judah Series)

By Way of the Wilderness by Gilbert Morris (#5 in the Lions of Judah)
Daughter of Deliverance by Gilbert Morris (#6 in the Lions of Judah)
Abigail by Jill Eileen Smith (#2 The Wives of King David)

It will depend on what I can find at my library for some of these. But I'll keep my eyes open for other titles/authors as well.

The six I read:

1. Abigail by Jill Eileen Smith
2. The Centurion's Wife. Davis Bunn. Janette Oke.
4. Simon's Crossing. Charles William Asher. Dennis Patrick Slattery.
5. Magdalene. Angela Hunt

I've read a few of the Francine Rivers lineage of grace series. Those are pretty good! Enjoy!

I have read all 3 of Mark of the Lion. They are good but they are true to what happens in ancient cultures not just Christian and Jewish cultures.You have stories of characters thru these cultures. The various characters may keep or change their ideas/actions.
