So glad I found this list in 2021! Though I have read most of the top books, there are also authors I have not read, here, that I will now check out! Again, many Thanks!

Comment added 1/7/11 by Terri S. (terrilu):
I love this list! Francine Rivers' "Redeeming Love" is by far my absolute favorite. A friend of mine sings in a family gospel group...there's a song she sings, "I've Come To Take You Home" by the Isaac's that makes me think of this book. Thanks!

Comment added 12/5/10 by Laura F. (ncreader):
