Reading a book is a peaceful experience for me. When I read aloud to my children the atmosphere completely changes into one of quiet joy. Reading well-written, uplifting books that point to God is good medicine for the soul. Comforting Fiction Books For Difficult Times will help you to see God in the dark seasons of life that we all go through.
The criteria for this booklist is nothing other than what has brought my family peace in uncertain times. These books are old friends and have been read and reread over and over. I suppose that is the test of a good book. It is my sincerest prayer, that you will ENJOY these books and they will become treasures!
Comforting Fiction Books For Difficult Times
Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales
The Complete Tales of Winnie-The-Pooh by A. A. Milne
The Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
All Creatures Great And Small Series
The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
The Anne of Green Gables Series by L. M. Montgomery
The Penderwick Series by Jeanne Birdsall
Love Comes Softly Series 5-8 by Janette Oke
The Mitford Series by Jan Karon
Many of the books on this list are for children, however, I highly recommend you read them again as an adult. They will spark the magic of childhood in your heart and encourage and uplift you! As the great C. S. Lewis wrote, “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty.” For the record, I completely agree!
Happy reading my friends!
