I love so many authors, so I wanted to share a few with you today. Listing favorite books is nice, but a list of favorite authors includes so much more. So here is a list of my favorite authors.

CS Lewis

This one is beginning to sound is really cliché, but very true. I have read Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, and The Magician’s Nephew. I know what you’re thinking: You haven’t read the Chronicles of Narnia? Yeah… I’ve listened to the audio drama and seen the current movies. But yes, it’s on my list to read soon. 🙂

Lucy Maud Montgomery

The beloved authoress of Anne of Green Gables and so many other books. I’ve only had to read the first half of Anne to know I love LM Montgomery. She creates the best characters and endears you to each of them in the most delightful ways.

Madeleine L’Engle

This author is a lot less popular than the others, but she deserves to be famous and I am sure her books will be seen as classics before too long. She wrote mostly sci-fi and is most famous for (the only novel I have read of hers) A Wrinkle in Time. It is… awesome. Truly. I wrote of it in my short record of reading the book, “this could be the flagship for whimsy.” True whimsy, not foolishness, but a whimsical spirit that is delightfully enchanting and utterly magnificent. L’Engle is a part too liberal in her beliefs for me, but I believe she is a Christian. She died on September 6th, 2007.

Timothy Keller

This is a more recent author, but I was running out of ideas. His books (all non-fiction) are captivating and interesting. One book that I think is especially great is The Reason for God. My dad likes The Prodigal God.
