5 Authors You Don't Read

Although, in my humble opinion, you really should. Did you know, reading is the most popular hobby in America? And while the Bible is literally the book of books, you don't neccescarily want to read only that. But in a world filled with titles like Wicked and Heated Rivalry, what can we read? Settle down, because I've done some research, so you don't have to. Now, if you're ready, grab your spectacles and favorite chair, and let's get into it!

1: G.A. Henty

       If you were home-schooled, you may have heard of this gentleman. Even so, you might not have read his work. Born in 1832, much of it covers earlier periods. He was called, “The most popular boy’s author of his day.” Though today, his dense prose is an accquired taste, the rich factual detail in his stories can tell you more about other times than most textbooks. And you might just get caught up by intrigues along the way!

2: F.W. Boreham

              Early on, he heard the preaching of Dwght L. Moody. Later, in hospice, he was treated by a Catholic woman, who shared her understandings. With this unique perspective, he became the first pastor of a Baptist church in New Zealand, where he also started his own newspaper, not unlike yours truly. More than that, though, several of his essays and sermons have been compiled into books. Personaly, I Enjoy The Passionate Few, but I invite you to see what moves you.

3: Linda Chaikin

                       Born in 1943, I believe she’s still alive, but she may not still be writing new material. Still, her style is more familiar and comfortable than my previous mentions. Largely classified as Romance, her novels, in my experience, have themes of love, but more strongly focus on family dramas layered into quests, though historic settings. She may not be as accurate as Mr. Henty, but her books are beautifully enjoyable.

4: Caesar Augustus

                     Having written only two books, he was rather more occupied by running an Empire. Still, his accounts of his endevours have been essential reading for military minds from Bonaparte to Maddis today. By applying his clever approaches to strategy, nations have been conquered, and liberty preserved. The same approach should prove very useful on the ball field, or the board room. Or other areas, as you decide.

5: G.K. Chesterton

                    This name, as well, may be one you’ve heard before. But you probably know better his sleuth of the sacraments, Father Brown. While these short mysteries are easily captivating, to ignore his other work would be a grave disservice. Some titles of his were, The Princess and The Goblin, and The North Wind, along with many sermons and essays. He wrote something for everyone.

These are just a few of the names in my mental library, but they’re probably new to you. And even if they’re not, I hope I sparked your interest all the same!

I hope that blessed you. If so, please consider buying me a cup of coffee, to keep me going.
