Favorite Authors

One of my favorite authors is Angela Hunt.  I've read almost all her books and always love them.  I even got to meet her when she spoke at First Baptist Church, Richmond.   She was absolutely delightful!  It was so much fun to talk with her. I'll never be able to fully review every book I've read by her, but here are a  few tidbits about some that I remember pretty well.


Legacies of the Ancient River (Titles are Dreamers, Brothers, and Journey)
Biblical fiction, story of Joseph in Eygpt

The Fairlawn Series (Doesn't She Look Natural?, She Always Wore Red, She's in a Better Place)
Contemporary, some humor, recently divorced single mom inherits a funeral home and moves her kids there.

The Debt
Contemporary.  The secrets of a pastor's wife are revealed, and it threatens the image of the megachurch her husband serves in.  She must make hard decisions.  A very touching story that makes you reflect on your own walk with the Lord.

The Note
Contemporary. A note survives a plane crash that has no survivors.  This is the story of the reporter's search for who the wrote the note and who it was intended for.  It is riveting.  A must read.

Magdalene
Biblical fiction, story of Mary Magdalene.  Excellent.

The Fine Art of Insincerity
Contemporary Three estranged sisters meet at their grandmother's beach house to ready it for sale.  So much family baggage comes out as they talk and remember.  Loved this one.  Very touching.


I plan on doing a full review of Uncharted.
