Plug

I just want to put a plug in for Francine Rivers, a Christian author who is probably best known for writing Redeeming Love  http://www.francinerivers.com/default.asp  I love all of her books, but my favorites include her Mark of the Lion trilogy.  It's based in the time period after Jesus' crucifixion, when Christians are sent to the arena to be martyred.  They are amazing books and you won't want to put them down.  Unlike some Christian fiction books that can be sappy, these really do convict you; they reference Scripture and give you a desire to read the Word.  Each book has a different overlying theme: sharing your faith, forgiveness and dealing with anger.  You won't be disappointed!  God has gifted Francine Rivers with an incredible gift of writing.
