Grace's Top Ten Favorite Books

Hey ya'll!  Grace here.

I thought I'd do a "Top Ten" list for you...and of what else than my favorite books?!
I've compiled a light-hearted suggestion list for you.  Feel free to pick and choose.  You can find most of these books at your local library, Mardel's (the best store on the planet), the great and wonderful Internet, or any bookstore you may choose.  :)

10.  A Lantern In Her Hand

Bess Streeter Aldrich

I read this back in seventh grade, and it quickly became one of my favorite novels.  I love the story of Abbie and how she was so beautiful and young…and she sacrificed everything to go to with her husband.  They faced uncertainty, dangers, and death, and yet Abbie stayed strong.  

9.  Abram’s Daughters, The Covenant

Beverly Lewis

It’s mysterious, dark, and a little terrifying if you’re innocently unexpecting.  But it’s good.  So good.  I must go read the others of this series now…..

8.  Love Comes Softly, Love’s Unending Dream

Janette Oke

Okay, so I’ve only read one of the Love Comes Softly series, but I have seen the movies.  They were incredible, and the book was AMAZING.  Number 129867 of why you should go read it NOW.  ;)

7.  The Life and Ministry of Jesus

F. Henry Edwards

So I haven’t exactly finished this yet, but if you want a study of sound doctrine, this is one.  I knew the main stories of Jesus, His birth and death, but not until this came along did I feel like I really knew Him.  J

6.  A Call At Evening

Jessie Ward

So it’s not a well-known publication.  I love it.  The story of Alfred, this novel had me thinking.  Any novel that makes you think is a good one.

5.  Christy

Catherine Marshall

I’m sorry, I love Catherine Marshall.  But this book really is great!  It inspired me to chase my own writing dreams.  J  Be prepared though, some of it is a bit of a culture shock if you were an unprepared sixth grader like I was.

4.  A Man Called Peter

Catherine Marshall

One can really get to know Peter Marshall in this touching memoir of Peter’s life.  I both laughed and cried, and that makes it a great novel.

3.  A Tale of Two Cities

Charles Dickens

Oh.  My.  Goodness.  If you ever feel like crying, laughing, and feeling horrified, go read this majestic beauty.  From Madame Defarge’s atrocious opinion of nobles to Lucie’s sweet tenderness, from Mr. Lorry’s humble servitude to the family to Sydney’s selfless sacrifice, I fell in love with this book.  I really did.

2.  The Robe

Lloyd C. Douglas

I read this last summer, and all I can say is, be ready to bawl your eyes out as you read the greatest novel ever written.

1.  The Bible

Because who doesn’t wanna read about God and stuff?

P.S.  Of course, that's not to forget or leave out Silas Marner, Ella Enchanted, Eight Cousins, Little Women, or any other book I (or you) love!!
