Faith 'n Fiction Saturday



My Friend Amy, who brought us Book Blogger Appreciation Week has a new carnival in the works, the Faith 'n Fiction Saturday.

Each week she will post a blogging prompt, which participating bloggers will answer on their own blogs. Then they head back to the original post and sign Mister Linky! This way we can all come to know each other more closely.

Today's Topic
Well since tomorrow is Father's Day and it's likely that a few of you may still need to purchase a Father's Day gift why not books?

Do you have a book you'd recommend as a Father's Day gift? I'm particularly interested in any Christian fiction books you'd recommend for dads, since I'm always reading that men read less fiction than women!

Ok I'm not really much help because my dad doesn't read fiction at all. Never has his entire life except for school. He prefers his fiction in movie form. But he INHALES non fiction like a champ. Seriously, any review book I get that's Christian non fiction I pass along to him and he loves them. I could recommend a whole slew of non fiction that he loves. His library is almost as big as mine! I got my love of carrying around and stacking books from him.

However there has been a lot of good CF that's come out that are good for any males. Here's a list of Christian fiction male authors that are targeted to males (ie. no Nicholas Sparks type stuff). If your dad or any male likes fiction, pretty much any guy from this list is a winner.

* Ted Dekker
* Frank Peretti
* Davis Bunn
* Brandt Dodson
* Stephen Lawhead
* Joel Rosenberg
* Don Brown
* Noel Hynd
* Athol Dickson
* Mark Andrew Olsen
* TL Hines
* James Scott Bell
* Craig Parshall
* Robert Liparulo
* Randy Alcorn
* Mel Odom
* Steven James
* Paul Robertson
* Alton Gansky
* Travis Thrasher
* James David Jordan
* Tim Downs
* Eric Wilson
* Randy Singer
* Harry Kraus
* Robin Parrish
* Bill Myers

US and Canada addresses only (No PO Boxes). Good luck! PLEASE LEAVE A WAY FO R ME TO CONTACT YOU!!!! ENTRIES WITHOUT CONTACT INFO WILL NOT BE ENTERED. I was more than pleasantly surprised and shocked while reading this book. I have the first three books of the Twilight series and I will admit that I am not really a fan of them. The writing in those books is not very well done, plus I have problems with the storyline and the characters in general. Plus with all the hype surrounding them, it just makes the reading seem more tedious. Therefore I approached The Host with rather low expectations and prepared myself for another Twilight except with aliens. Boy was I in for a shocker. When I started reading, I was amazed at how I got sucked into the book. I really didn't expect to, be

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist
