Aerykah FYI not all of the books on this list are "Historical".

Who on earth voted "Fools Rush In" as *historical*?


message 3: by Margaret (new)

Margaret Chind Okay, I just discovered today that I can go in and delete books that shouldn't be there. yay! So, now it should be better. I think people just get carried away in adding books to the list. Please let me know if I missed something. I'm familiar with most of the authors, but not all.

How do you do that? I have a list that has some books that shouldn't be on there.


message 5: by Neveen (new)

Neveen This means all from this list are CLEAN ROMANCE???


message 6: by MommaNeena (new)

MommaNeena Are there any Christian Historical Romance reading groups on goodreads? I'm on a reading rampage and love this type of book, and have read so many good ones. Seems there are so many great books out there. I'd love to subscribe to a group that reads similar inspirational, clean, romantic, and christian books like I do.

Not neccessarily as people's opinion on clean varies but you stand a very good chance of them being clean reads. Ive read many from this list and Ive been able to let my daughter(she's 15) read them too. The only ones I havent let my daughter read were ones I just felt were too mature for her, where there was marital longing or if the kisses were too passionate. But most are just good clean reads which is why I like this genre.

Joby Margaret who is your favorite author? You've read a ton of books!


message 10: by Barbaraalaska (new)

Barbaraalaska I want to read historical fiction... but I do not want romance to be the primary topic... please will you help me. I love Jan Karons books.


message 11: by Barbaraalaska (new)

Barbaraalaska Also... years ago an author wrote books about Alaska, during the Russian era. I read one about an Aleut woman. I am Aleut and I would like to see if there are more books. I cannot recall the author. Help?


message 12: by Janet (new)

Janet Toews I would like Christian Historical that " isn't fiction " more than fiction. Do you have a category like that?

Check out the group: Christian Fiction Devourers


message 14: by Greg (new)

Greg Dressel My favorite historical fiction writer is Francine Rivers. As an historical fiction writer myself (author of OF ONE TONGUE) I know all the work that goes into research and then trying to make a enticing book with facts that you cannot deviate from. I think Rivers does and excellent job of this.

message 16: by Chad (new)

Chad I think you need to rename this list to Christian Romance...


message 17: by Monica (last edited Mar 03, 2021 07:44AM) (new)

Monica There are a few of these that are definitely not clean/Christian. There are 2 books by Lisa Kleypas on the list (#999 and #1050 as I type this). Also not Christian is one by Lauren Kate. I think it's called Torrent (Part of the Fallen series) it's on page 9 or 10.

Edit:
also #1084 The Prize by Julie Garwood is unlikely to be Christian.

Edit #2: also:

#1094 Lords of the Underworld Definitely not Christian
#1123- Another book from the Fallen series- not Christian
#1146 & 1157- Lisa Kleypas books, definitely not

#1139, #1316 & #1322 Where She Went, Princess Diaries, and Angel Experiment. Not Christian and not historical.

The ones which I indicated were "definitely not" Christian all have explicit sex scenes in them. The others simply do not have God/Christians from a Christian view (or, with the case of the Julie Garwood book, I can't remember how explicit it is)


message 18: by Paula (last edited Aug 29, 2022 01:33PM) (new)

Paula Shreckhise Page 11 has Hope Harbor by Irene Hannon. There are at least two more by Irene Hannon they all are not Historical.
There are a group that is all labeled 1071. Likewaise #1089.
I dont think Lisa Kleypas is Christian. She is on pages 11 and 12.
Natalie Walters is not Historical. Page 12.

I'll remove the books mentioned above in the next days.


message 20: by Amy (new)

Amy Reed Is this thread relatively active? There are so many wonderful books that have come out in the last 5 years that aren't listed.
