Readers, it’s December 3rd, and Christmas is nearly upon us– but there’s still time to order a few presents or take a trip to your local bookstore to grab something special for someone you love! That said, I’ve wanted to make up a “Christian fiction gift ideas” post for quite some time, and I’ve geared this list specifically to men. Why? Personally, I find it much more difficult to find Christian fiction for guys than for gals. I don’t know how many times I’ve done google searches trying to find something for my truck-fixin’, burger grillin’ dad that isn’t stuffed to overflowing with sappy romances or mainly female characters. I’ve read most of these books myself (so women can enjoy them too) and a few I haven’t read yet came highly recommended for this post by my father. (Thanks dad!)
I hope you find just what you need for the man in your life!
(These are in no particular order)
If he would enjoy heartfelt historic fiction set in WWII, try:
1. Whose Voice the Waters Heard, by Robert Vaughan
Or, instead, a Civil War coming-of-age story:
2. William Henry is a Fine Name (and its sequel), by Cathy Gohlke
Maybe he’d prefer something fast-paced, like this suspense/psychological thriller:
3. Centralia, by Mike Dellosso
Set in the early church days–with plenty of action and political intrigue– is:
4. The Last Disciple, by Hank Hanegraaff and Sigmund Brouwer
In a different vein, a humor-filled and nostalgic piece of Americana:
5. Eden Hill, by Bill Higgs
And a contemporary novel that’s lighthearted and down to earth:
6. Summer of Light by W. Dale Cramer (also, check out his other works, such as Bad Ground and Sutter’s Cross)
