Christian Fiction Reading Challenge

December 8, 2025 By Deborah Raney

See this great bunch of authors? Of course, you’ll recognize several of us from this blog. (Waving at Becky, Robin, Cara, and Tammy! Oh, and myself! 😉 ) Well! We have planned a year of great reading and great discussions via Zoom for you! Each month, we’ll dive into a novel by a bestselling Christian author. There will be plenty of variety. Romance. Heart-pounding suspense. A visit to 1970’s London. Even a princess in search of true love. Some books have strong Christian content. Some are clean reads but written from a Christian worldview. No matter which of those describes the book of the month, we hope you’ll love it.

To join us, just go to our brand new website at: christianfictionreadingchallenge.com. There, you’ll find information about how it all works and learn which books we’ll be reading next year. Then, simply drop your name and email address into the sign up box on the website and you’re in! You can participate as many or as few months as you choose—but of course, we hope you’ll be with us every month!

You’ll receive the important information each month via email (the book everyone is reading, the day and time of the Zoom chat). And if there’s ever a month you can’t make the Zoom, don’t worry. The video will be uploaded so you can watch later. There will even be a place where you can submit a question you’d like the author to answer.

We couldn’t be more excited about this new book venture, and we can’t wait to see you there!

Deborah Raney

DEBORAH RANEY's first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title and launched Deb’s writing career. Forty books later, she's still creating stories that touch hearts and lives. Her novels have won RWA's RITA Award, the ACFW Carol Award, the National Readers Choice Award, and the HOLT Medallion. She is also a four-time Christy Award finalist. Deb is on faculty for several national writers’ conferences and served on the executive board of the 2,500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for 18 years before retiring in 2022. She is a recent transplant to Missouri, having moved with her husband, Ken Raney, from their native Kansas to be closer to kids and grandkids. They love road trips, e-biking, Friday garage sale dates, and breakfast on the screened porch overlooking their wooded backyard.
