I Read Canadian Day

I Read Canadian bookstack filled with books written by Canadian authors against white blanket on wooden chair

Today is I Read Canadian Day! According to the website, I Read Canadian Day is a national celebration of Canadian books for young people, with the goal of elevating the genre and celebrating the breadth and diversity of these books. The goal is to have students reading a Canadian book for 15 minutes today.

I thought I'd gather some of the Canadian Christian authors that I have on my bookshelves for the adult version of reading 15 minutes today. Here are some suggestions!
 
Christian Fiction:
📘 The Best of Intentions: Canadian Crossings #1 by Susan Anne Mason
📘 The Mozart Code by Rachel McMillan
📘 Ashton Park: Danforths of Lancashire #1 by Murray Pura

Other Canadian Christian authors not pictured:
📘 Anything by Janette Oke
📘 Anything by Sigmund Brouwer
📘 Faces: Corridor of Memories #1 by Chelsea Rae
📘 Anything by Nicole Lam
📘 Targeted Witness by Jacqueline Adam
📘 The Lies We Live by Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht
📘 Forged in Darkness by Kendra Warden
📘 Someone of Substance series by PD Janzen

Please let me know if I'm missing any others!

I'm sad when people feel stifled due to these capricious "rules" that half (if not more of) the time seem to keep people from excitedly engaging in what they love most. I'm thankful that I've received immense support from the reading community when I first started out, so I want to encourage anyone who is thinking of jumping in with their personal approach to books by sharing how I practically break the following ten rules covering things from content generation to materials access: I'm not supposed to use Canva for my book posts.  ...

Diverse Stories

One of the things I've been challenging myself to do this year has been to read more Christian books written by authors from other countries. I love that the body of Christ spans the four corners of the world and that we get to benefit from hearing so many different perspectives. I've also appreciated getting to know some amazing authors and readers online from other nations and continents as it's enriched my understanding of how Christians experience life. It helps me realize that the views I take for granted may only be limited to where I am situated, geographically and culturally. I haven't read all of the authors below yet, but here are a few Christian fiction authors who write from outside of North America if you're interested in reading more: Africa Ivy Emerson Enewerome Anna Jensen Tope Omotosho Asia Joanna Alonzo Joy Crain Australasia Narelle Atkins Liz Chapman Iola Goulton Jessica Kate Bessie Le Couteur Carolyn Miller Jennifer Mistmorgan Honey Stone Jessica...
