I bought many of Lori Copeland's books throughout the years and now my sister is able to enjoy the books I laughed and loved.
In fact, Lori Copeland was one of the first authors I helped my sister contact to let her know just how much she loved her books. :-)

Janette Oke for me too! Closely followed by Gilbert Morris and his House of Winslow series.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit familiar with Lori's writing, I really enjoyed her Brides of the West series. I don't think I am familiar with Virginia Smith's writing. I look forward to getting to know her writing.

The first Christian fiction I ever read was by Scottish pastor George MacDonald. Then came Tracie Peterson, Janette Oke, and Gilbert Morris. I love Lori Copeland's book too.
ReplyDeleteI started reading Christian fiction only a few years ago and I think I started with Dee Henderson's O'Malley series, which I loved. I do love Lori Copeland's books, they crack me up!

I can't remember the first as I have been reading for many years. Certainly Beverly Lewis, Janette Oke Traci Peterson but their are so many others!
ReplyDeleteThank You

I don't remember. It was too long ago! Quite possibly was Beverly Lewis. I started reading when my son was receiving chemo treatments and we had to spend a lot of time at the hospital. Thankfully, he is a survivor and I still make time everyday to read.

I don't remember my first Christian fiction author, but I grew up reading children's Christian fiction books, so some of the first ones I read were Dave & Neta Jackson's "Trailblazer Series" and Lois Gladys Leppard's "Mandie" series. The first adult Christian fiction books I read was Al & Joanna Lacy's "Mail Order Bride Series." That was when I made the jump from reading children's fiction to adult fiction from my church library. If I remember correctly, I then moved on to Lynn Austin's "Refiner's Fire Series." All very good books!
