Love to read?

Who is your all-time favorite author and why?
John Eldredge. I choose him because of his writing style. I love his honesty and how he explains things on a level that everyone can relate to, but especially his approach to men and their walk with God. His writing focuses on the heart of God and having men come back to how God really created us. He tells it like it is and doesn't apologize for his approach.


Who was your first favorite author and why?
I really don't know who my first favorite author was, but if I had to choose one it would be J.R.R. Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was this series of books that got me hooked on reading and allowed me for the first time to get into a story and feel like I was one of the characters.


Do you still consider him/her to be among your favorites?
I would definately say his works are among some of my favorites, although I haven't read them in a long time.

Who is the most recent addition to your list of favorite authors, and why?
I would have to say Jentezen Franklin, Francis Frangipane, Joseph Prince and William Young. I enjoy their Christian views and writing styles. Franklin, Frangipane and Prince are all pastors and I have nothing but high respect for them. William Young is only in here because I enjoyed his book, "The Shack". While there are a lot of things I don't totally agree with in the book, it was still an enjoyable non-fiction read.

So now I tag:

Simple Beauty

Simple Life Moments

and
Home Haven Ministry

Since I've already done this, I won't repeat it. But thanks for stopping by my blog. I've heard that "the shack" is a good read... maybe I'll check it out sometime. : )

Merry Christmas!
