Saturday Christian Fiction Carnival-Most Memorable Character

Oh my!  It’s almost Sunday and I’m just getting to Amy’s question for this week’s Saturday Christian Fiction Carnival!

Here it is:

There are many outstanding characters in the books we read but often there’s that one special character we remember for a long time. Sometimes it’s because we relate to them, or maybe we were going through something similar to what they experienced. Or maybe they are just the sort of person we wish we were.
Who is the most memorable character in Christian fiction for you and why?

Ah!  This is an EASY one for me!!  The most memorable character EVER in my Christian fiction reading is Hadassah from Francine Rivers Mark of the Lion series.  I think about her quite often, she’s such a beautiful example of Christ’s selfless love living within the flesh of a woman.  Awesome Christian character, I aspire to serve more like her.  For months after reading the first book she’d pop into my mind throughout the day, and she still surfaces occasionally.

Do you want to read my review of book one? A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion Series #1) by Francine Rivers

What a memorable read.  I am officially in love with Francine Rivers books from here on out.

Now, don’t forget, if you have a Christian book review this week, please submit it to the Christian Book Carnival for this Wednesday when I’ll do a round up of book reviews from across the blogosphere!

Welcome!
