I may have recommended Patrick O'Brians' Aubrey/Maturin Series of 21 books about a British Naval Officer and his friend, Irish/Catalan Catholic Physician/Spy and how their relationship develops over 20+ years. Specifically Christian, no, but an excellent characterization of very different Gentleman in a superb, watery World at war in the Napoleon's Era. Definitely first rate, and the best description of Naval warships and the sailors who manned them.
Thank you for the fascinating list! I love it. I’ve read 5/12 so far, 4 I’ve never heard of before, and I want to read War and Peace and The Talisman within the next year or 2. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite, I don’t know if it matches all your criteria or not but I love it. I read Dracula last year, and it was very good too, and had a fascinating amount of biblical and Christian holy day references. I had to throw away a Barnes and noble edition we had a with a nasty preface. The Ignatius Critical edition is a better copy to own. We found one of Martin’s flaws - he can’t read Norwegian. 😂
@@tammyschilling5362 preface or foreword, but it was NOT written by the author. It was the typical smutty modernist / postmodernist approach, they claim everything under Freudian ideas and celebratory sexual depravity.
We have a sedan that we've had for 20 years. I'm torn between getting it back on the road again for my twin sons, or parting with it. It feels like part of the family.
Did Steinbeck not write in his letters from a Marxist perspective about needing and trying to wake the American people to the fact they were poor and to do so he had to separate them from their God/religion? You can use language and claim temshe l is from Hebrew, but he went to Asian non-Christian persons to interpret it. Grapes and Easy of Eden are not Christian books/novels.
I was listening to this in the car this morning and as Paul is trying to remember the officer from Les Miserables, I'm yelling at the phone "it's Javert!". I really loved this discussion and the article.
Dude... Hearing you talk about people missing the point- I can't tell you how many people I've encountered online who think the romance between Anna Karenina and Vronsky is completely enviable. Ugh.
Things as They Are; or The Adventures of Caleb Williams” by William Godwin is an excellent book about a man’s battle with his soul against a vicious judicial system.
I love Mario Reading's books, wouldn't call them christian, but the main character in his books is always a religious person, a Christian. And they're quite witty and interesting. That's an ITV production, an excellent tv series Hornblower with Ioan Gruffudd.
