THE BIBLE OF COURSE IS A MUST READ.
I also really enjoyed At Home in Mitford By Jan Karen.(It is a series)These books are about a small town Priest and his colorful parisherners>Great characters and lots of scripture refrences throughout.
And the Shofar Blew by Francine Rivers. A modern story about the trials of being a pastors wife.
A Candle in the Darkness written by Lynn Austin (a series)A Christian's northerners' view,southerners 'view and slaves' view of life before,during and after the Civil war. Fascinating and heartwarming.
Last (my husband laughs at these 2 choices) but I love the Laura Ingles Wilder series Of The Little House on the Prarie Fame,Beginning with Caoline's life,Laura's mother , and ending with Laura's daughter Rose's life.
Finally Ellie By Mary Borntrager.A very good novel series about Amish Life.
These are just a few. I love to read and enjoy reading book reviews from other Christians.I hope others will share more of their favorites.

I have one more book to add that I just began reading the other day. It is a novel about a small town in Alabama that is isolated from the rest of the country because of a massive power outage. Nothing mechanical works,Not cars, radios ,tv's,generators, water pumps nothing. No one has a clue why this is happening.The towns people were caught unprepared and low on supplies.There has been a murder robbery.
The story focuses on one family and thier dependance on God and each other to survive. It is entitled Last Light byTerri Blackstock. It has a sequel.
I highly recommend it. Prayerfully this will not happen to any of us ,however I have gotten some good ideas from the situations contained in this book.Very good food for thought.
