"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become." -C.S. Lewis |

2006 was Christian Fiction Review's most rewarding and tumultuous year. Site redesigns and delays caused updating problems, but still over 100 new reviews were added to the archives! Of those, over 30 received a Highly Recommended rating. Out of those 30, 10 were chosen for this list. It was a hard decision, and the results may surprise some people. Some of these books were bestsellers; others weren't even close. But all deserve to be read by a much wider audience. Without further ado, here is Christian Fiction Review's Best of 2006! (Books listed in no particular order.) |
