Lately I’ve been making more of an effort to read books in the genre I generally write in which is Christian contemporary fiction. So while my e-reader posts are usually more eclectic, this edition will focus solely on the faith-based genre. Even if you normally don’t read these types of books, I hope you take a chance and check one of them out! Click on the pics to purchase via Amazon.
