Welcome aboard! Are you ready to set sail to distant lands? So am I! Some of my favorite books ever are on this list! First port of call? Ancient Babylon!
1. Garden of Madness by Tracy L. Higley (Ancient Babylon)
This book is not for the faint of heart. It is dark in places, yet the light of God shines so brightly. It's one of my favorite novels of all time. It is set during the time of King Nebuchadnezzar madness. Higley always transports me in time and place, but there was just something very special about this story.

I read this book last year with a friend and I was so amazed and inspired. Why classified as fiction, it is an account or Anna Leonowens and her efforts to teach and create a better future for Siam. I was really blessed by this book and highly recommend it to slightly older readers. It was one of my top ten books of 2018.

3. The Shadow Things by Jennifer Freitag (Ancient England)
I still refer to this book on a regular basis. It is a powerful story about the gospel coming to a hostel culture. This is another book that isn't for the faint of heart. There are a lot of hard things but oh how amazing is the love and grace of God in the end.

4. From the Dark to the Dawn by Alicia A. Willis (Ancient Rome)
This book is another that isn't easy, to read either. Yet, it is an amazing story about a young boy standing for what is right when it could cost him everything. It is also about redemption and the work of Christ to change lives.

I’ve read Around the World in 80 Days in French & English, but I haven’t read any of the others. I want to, though—they all sound so good!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you can read it in the original French!
DeleteDefinitely have to check these out!!!
ReplyDeletePlease do!
DeleteThese sound intriguing, especially the first one!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it really is!
DeleteSo many new world fiction books! I've only read part of Around the World in Eighty Days.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, so many new books!
DeleteI was challenged and convicted when I read From Dark to the Dawn. It is sushi a beautiful picture of God's redemption when Christianity was just beginning to spread.
ReplyDeleteAnother lover of "Around the World in Eighty Days"! :D I haven't read any of the others.
ReplyDeleteFrom The Dark to The Dawn is so so good!
