Frank Peretti for his first two major novels: This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness. His Cooper Kid Adventures were also very good.

Ohhh, wait! I forgot! I also really, really admire John Piper. He's not a Christian fiction novelist though. He's a powerful instrument of God though with his writing.

also, I like bill myers for his "Blood of Heaven" book. I think that's what it is called anyway.

When I was around your age, I would have said the exact same thing! \:D/ I still enjoy reading some Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, though not as much as I used to. The Baby-sitters Club books started getting harder to enjoy after I realized that I was older then all of them, but still had a far less cool life. ;)

I've been reading a lot of books by Linda Windsor recently - definitely a good Christian fiction author, in my opinion! \:D/

And LiviNoel, please try to avoid double-posting. :) It's generally discouraged, but with the current story arc, Dr. Blackgaard has been coming down hard on minor infractions like double-posting. :(

I definitely agree with you on L.M. Montgomery, Karin! \:D/ Personally, I found Al and Joanna Lacy ridiculously dull and repetitive when I read a few of their books, but perhaps they've improved, or perhaps I'm a tad critical. ;) I did enjoy a few books by them, but then they all started sounding the same. My sister read more of their books then I did, and she eventually started to think the same thing. But if you're still enjoying the books, that's good!

I can never pick just one favourite author, and even a list is hard, because there so many authors that I like! \:D/

I totally agree. Though I would say C.S. Lewis is close to the top of any list because he tends to be my hero.

He's great! Didn't he write all the Sideways School stories or whatever they were called? Good times. \:D/ And "Holes" - that was a good book too.

I think Eric and Leslie Ludy are my very favorite authors, but Matt Redman and Josh Harris come in close second.

Ted Dekker, for his way of making the impossible seem real, exciting, and deep.

Jane Austen, for her unparalleled romances (especially Pride and Prejudice)

I also like Harriet Beecher Stowe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Francine Rivers, and C.S. Lewis.

Melody Carlson, Ann Brashares, Jodi Lynn Anderson, Kate Brian and Meg Cabot.
i read House (by ted dekker and frank peretti) as well and it wasn't all that great. Apparently they are making it into a movie.
maybe its not the destination, maybe it's the journey
