[OPLINLIST] Catholic Christian Fiction

[msnyder]

Hi Clint:

I am sending this to the entire list because there is an excellent writer
that more novel-loving librarians should know about it.  

The recently deceased Jon Hassler wrote many wonderful novels set in the
mostly Catholic area of central Minnesota.  He wrote several superb novels
that featured an 84-year old protagonist (and retired teacher) named Agatha
McGee, who, among other things, wages a merry combat with the local Bishop
in "A Green Journey."  The sequel to this novel is "Dear James."

Mr. Hassler tells a good story and his characters are as real as the person
next door.

Enjoy!

Subject: [OPLINLIST] Catholic Christian Fiction

I have an elderly patron who is interested in reading large print Catholic
Christian fiction. Can anyone suggest current authors or titles that we can
purchase? It seems the bulk of Christian fiction is Protestant, and I have
tried searching for Catholic Christian fiction, but I'm not coming up with
anything that has been written in this century. I believe she would like
something light, similar to a "gentle read" but something that incorporates
the Catholic faith. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
