I am an avid Christian fiction reader.
I absolutely love Bodie and Brock Thoene, Francine Rivers, Dee Henderson, and Angela Hunt ( Her husband is actually one of the pastors at my church. Her works are known throughout FL, but are becoming more popular outside the state).
I also like Beverly Lewis and Karen Kingsbury, but I find both of these authors repeat their plots a lot.
As for the Left Behind Books, I grew up reading them. I think I started when the third one came out! I then had to throw each one against a wall after the ending and then wait a year for another to come out (There are 12!)
Honestly, in my opinion, only the first 8 are any good. They get to full of scripture after that. I mean that has its time in place, but if I wanted to read the Bible, I would open the actual book and not a work of fiction.

That's my "beef" with some Christian fiction -- it becomes saturated in Bible verses and prayers.
In the past, I've read and enjoyed Christian fiction by:
Jacquelin Thomas
Reshonda Tate Billingsley
Stephanie Perry Moore
DSQ
Michelle Andrea Bowen
Jacquelin, Reshonda, and Stephanie write Christian fiction for young adults and adults.
