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).
