As promised, I’m giving a list of Christian Fiction books today that you might want to check out. And, of course, you can always check out my books as well. Most of mine are suspense or romantic suspense and don’t deal with social issues, but the list below focuses on books that have a variety of difficult or controversial topics.
It was compiled by author, Deborah Raney and she gave me permission to share it here. You can learn more about Deborah and her books at www.deborahraney.com.

Thanks, Lillian, for putting this list together. As an author, my three published books, and upcoming fourth fit into these categories. I’m glad to see these subjects being brought to the forefront in Christian fiction, so readers know the extent of the genre.
Thanks. Please feel free to list your books along with your website or blog if you wish. I’m sure my readers would love to get to know you.
