Good reads, here is where to get them!

I am delighted to describe myself as a bibliophile, to the nth degree in fact! We all have our favorite authors, and in this post I'll be introducing you to some of mine. I must confess that I have a bias toward real books - made of paper, with pages that turn. I like electronic books because you can store books virtually with far less space, but it just isn't as satisfying a format in which to read - at least not for me!

Among my all time favorites is Brock and Bodie Thoene - a husband/wife team who's niche is Christian historical fiction. They are also prolific, and if you want to read their work in chronological order you can go here, to their blog, where they have answered that question.
Part of what's fun is you will meet characters in the earlier work who will show up in other books (or you will meet their children). Of all their books so far, my favorite is Shiloh Autumn, a story that is personal to Bodie's family history.

Jane Kirkpatrick is another author whose work I've enjoyed - she also writes historical fiction and focuses on women and the Pacific northwest area. She also tends to write series of books (and you can get them as boxed sets); Her characters are independent, unusual women and there are moments of tender insight that is part of what I have so enjoyed in reading her books.

Two non-fiction works you may wish to consider are Rules for Patriots by Steve Deace (a primer on personal political strategy and debate tactics) and Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk (a critique of the policy of mass vaccination);
Dissolving Illusions pokes all manner of holes in the concept of vaccination and the "benefits" of applying it indiscriminately.

Lastly, let me leave you with some suggestions for the bestselling book of all time: The Holy Bible. Here a some of the translations I've used and like: Amplified, a comparative bible with several translations/versions side by side, and a MacArthur study bible (NASB).

This post is just a beginning - I'll be adding to this in the future!
