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.

Review: The Intrepid Three - Animus Rising

How exciting that The Intrepid Three: Animus Rising by Brianna and Matthew Penfold  will soon be available on July 31, 2026! This is a book that I could not stop annotating; I really have to give a lot of credit to this lovely wife-and-husband writing team for capturing so many sentiments in such a poetic way. Not only is the world building a spectacular journey on its own, the words to get us there have just as much layered meaning. Many thanks to the authors for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis The Intrepid Three are back to continue their quest to restore their worlds. Dez, Arabella, and Walter face their greatest challenges yet-their planes are upended, the Murk are on the verge of breaking through from Animus, and the Lumen are vastly outnumbered. To make matters worse, people, the most-needed allies, are petrified. Are The Intrepid Three really the heroes Author believes can restore the planes? Will ...
