Just a quick notice that my wife has decided to sell much of her personal library, primarily consisting of historical fiction written by Christian authors like Gilbert Morris, Catherine Palmer, Lori Wick, Beverly Lewis and others. We’re trying to lighten our load of personal belongings before moving back to the USA within the next 60 days or so.
I once poked fun at the idea of “Christian fiction” from my ivory tower of professional, theological, and clergical (yes, it’s really a word) non-fiction world until I realized how much gratuitous sex and immorality was dumped, like so much garbage, in the genre of historical fiction. So if you’re looking for some great literary adventures that you can read aloud to your family, please have a browse through these listings on my Amazon Marketplace storefront (2ManyGoodBooks). Since we live in the UK, these books are only available through Amazon.co.uk and most of them cannot be shipped outside the UK.
What a refreshingly honest post!
I think many ‘serious’ historians and theolgians sit in an ivory tower and rather look down on historical fiction or Christian historical fiction. Having originally written a biography of Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, St. Elizabeth Feodorovna, I found historians to be fairly complimentary. When I developed it into a novel to reach a wider readership and make this Grand Duchess better known, some historians were rather scathing of the idea. Oh well, never mind!
Happy Easter!
