Canadian Authors

Canadian Christian Authors text on blue floral background with outline of map of Canada beside a reader icon holding a book with a maple leaf on the spine and the christianshelves.blogspot.com logo beneath

This is by no means the first list or the most comprehensive list, but I wanted to dedicate a space to the Canadian Christian authors I've either read for a long time or have recently discovered.

The inspiration for this list comes from I Read Canadian Day, which is on the first Wednesday of November each year. I have linked directly to the author's books on Amazon, along with a website if applicable.

If this list grows, I'm happy to further separate authors out by genres, etc. so for now, happy scrolling (list is in alphabetical order by author's last name; in the case of double-barrelled last names being filed in a different order, please let me know and I'll fix it).

Review: Shattered - Vanished #2

This is not a light read, but it's one that is captivating and thought-provoking as we see the world descend into further wickedness and lawlessness. Shattered by Dr. David Jeremiah with Sam O'Neal is the second book in the Vanished series , and it contains just as much action as the first book, with even more chilling developments for the characters. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of : scenes of death, violence, and desecration Book Synopsis In the gripping sequel to Vanished, a global power rises, and the ancient prophecies of the Antichrist are set in motion. Two years have passed since millions across the globe disappeared in a heartbeat including John "Haggs" Haggerty's own family. Haggs, a military expert in pandemics, warned his agency of growing patterns in deadly epidemics and other threats to security. Then the ...

Review: The Accused - Secrets to Keep #2

The next book in the  Secrets to Keep series , The Accused  by Cara Putman  takes things up a notch by taking on the case of a woman who is alone, far from family and friends, and only has one person so far who believes in her innocence. It's a riveting Christian legal suspense that brings out the true character of the people in the story. Book Synopsis When a popular college student is murdered, her international roommate, Anneliese, becomes a prime suspect. But law professor Margeaux Robbins doesn't believe that the quiet, lonely German girl in her class is the killer. Chase Crandall is a burned-out defense attorney ready to extricate himself from the grind of criminal law. After he loses a client to tragedy, he's ready for an in-house corporate position. When Chase is assigned to Anneliese's case, Margeaux is horrified. She doesn’t want him to provide legal counsel―not after what happened to his past client. And not with the evidence incriminating Anneliese. Despite ...
