Christian Science Fiction

Have you heard about the new publisher, Marcher Lord Press (since October 2008)?  I’m glad I heard about it and have been following their progress.  They had a sale on one of their ebooks, By Darkness Hid by Jill Williamson, so I bought it.  I couldn’t believe how quickly I reached the 500th page and wanted to read more.  The 2 sequels are To Darkness Fled and From Darkness Won (releases April 1, 2011).  I’m waiting until the 3rd one is released to continue reading.

By Darkness Hid is told from two points of view, Achan Cham and Vrell Sparrow.  Achan Cham, a lowly servant and a stray, aspires to become a Kingsguard Knight.  Sir Gavan, a Kingsguard Knight, decides to train Achan, as Sir Gavan used to be a stray himself.  Achan is even more unusual because a stray usually has knowledge of one of his parents, but Achan doesn’t know who either of his parents are.

Vrell Sparrow flees and dresses as a stray boy to avoid an arranged marriage.  Vrell’s mother is in agreement and tells Vrell she can come home as soon as Prince Gidon chooses another woman.  Vrell knows how to bloodvoice, so she plans to keep in touch with her mother that way.

Bloodvoicing is a communicating with thoughts.  One of the Kingsguard Knights that is escorting Vrell uses bloodvoicing as well.  Jax, the Kingsguard that uses bloodvoicing, tells Vrell that bloodvoicing is a great power when used for good.  He also tells her to thank Arman for the gift of bloodvoicing.  Vrell knows that Arman is the only true God.  Vrell and Achan communicate by bloodvoicing before they meet.  Jax tells Vrell that he realizes there is someone who is very talented bloodvoicing, but he doesn’t know who it is (it’s Achan).  I’m going to stop the review now, so I won’t reveal too much of the plot.

I enjoyed the story and thought it was very well written.  Jill Williamson created an interesting world in this book, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series.  If you read the book, please leave a comment to share your favorite part of the story.

My 5 Favorite Christian Fiction books

I plan to continue to review many books, but today I thought I would give you my top 5 favorites.  It is hard to narrow it down, but I chose the books that really made an impression.

Sophie’s Heart by Lori Wick – I have read this one several times.  The main character, Sophie, is so appealing and it was easy to connect with her and cheer for everything to work out for her.

Sisterchicks in Gondolas by Robin Jones Gunn – I love all the sisterchick books, but this was is the one I remember best.  Jenna is invited to cook for a group of missionaries in a restored palace in Venice.  She invites her sister-in-law, Sue, to come along as a helper.  Jenna and Sue have a great time and grow closer as they discuss God and the struggles in their lives.

Just Beyond the Clouds by Karen Kingsbury – The first book A Thousand Tomorrows was excellent, but sad, read.  This book continues Cody’s story and he finds love.  It also tell more about Carl Joseph and his friend Daisy.  My favorite character was Elle, and I loved her patience as she works with Carl Joseph and Daisy.

Evidence of Mercy by Terri Blackstock – This is the first book in the Suncoast Chronicles series, and one I’ve read several times.  The story starts with a plane accident and the suspense continues throughout the rest of this fast paced story.  Lynda is a spunky attorney and a very likeable Christian woman.

A Penny for Your Thoughts by Mindy Starns Clark – I’ve reviewed this one on the blog, and it’s the first book in a great series.  Callie’s job is to investigate nonprofit organizations that have applied for grant money & she stumbles accross a murder mystery.  This series is very fast paced and easy to read.

Please post your favorite Christian fiction books, and we’ll all have a great list to refer to when looking for a book to read!

Read more books for less!

I found www.paperbackswap.com about a year ago.  I read a lot, so it gets expensive fast.  I’ve been trimming my budget, as I’m sure have you.  I joined paperbackswap and now I can read a new book for the cost of postage.  I post books I’ve read (and don’t plan to read again).  When someone requests one, I take it to the post office and ship it media mail (this saves money on postage).  I receive a credit when the person I sent the book to receives it.  Then I search for books I want to read.  When I find one, I request it and another member pays postage to mail that book to me.

If the book I want to read isn’t posted yet, I can list it on my wish list.  When it becomes available, it will ship if I have credits.  There’s also a reminder list, if I’m not sure I want to order the book but I don’t want to forget about the book.

Right now, it’s free to join.  They may charge a membership fee in the future, but I hope they are able to keep it a free service.  My nickname is ltbookman.  Make sure you request to be my buddy!  Also, you can browse my bookshelf and see if there’s a book you’d like me to send you.

If you want to make sure you get credits fast to start, you can browse the club wish list.  If you have a book someone is wishing for, it usually doesn’t take long for you to see the request on your home page.
