I’ve decided to participate in the Book Blogger Hop at Crazy for Books. This week’s question: Tell us some of your favorite authors, and why they are your favorites.
Since I mostly read Christian theology and fiction, I’ll give my favorite in each.
Christian theology: Jerry Bridges. His books are so helpful, thoughtful, and biblical that I always leave one of his books a better person than when I started it.
Fiction: Anne Tyler (who is not, by the way, a Christian author, lest anyone be confused). I love her quirky, funny characters. As anyone who has lived in a small town or worked with the public can attest, people are strangely amusing. Anne Tyler is a student of human nature – she portrays people as they are, but still manages to make them sympathetic. But despite the laugh-out-loud moments in her books, her writing is deep and thought-provoking.
Bonus: Writer’s Digest interviews Anne Tyler

Hi, I am stopping through on the book blog hop. Your choices in reading material intrigued me because I was a church history (theology) major in college. I don’t normally read Christian fiction but I just reviewed one of Francine Rivers’ novellas on our blog.
Great to meet you!
Hopping here from the book blogger hop to check your your favorite authors. Ann Tyler sounds like an author I’d like to check out.
