His voice sounded like the rich taste of chocolate on your tongue. ~ Tamera Alexander
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Tamera Alexander
Why were people always asking me about things in my past, the things I wanted to keep hidden? But then, why did my life have to be full of details I didn't want to share with others? ~ Sarah Holman
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Sarah Holman
Promise me you'll let go of your anger. Don't blame God for taking me. His will is beyond our understanding, but perfect in its execution. Don't let this shake your faith. ~Nolan's mom to Nolan ~ Susan Anne Mason
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Susan Anne Mason
You must remember also that He would never make any mistake in creating you. No matter what harsh and hateful words have been said to you, no matter the wrong actions against you, those opinions are not valid. The only valid opinion in which we can place true merit is that of God, and ultimately, your own.--Olivia Worthington of River Oaks Plantation ~ Lisa M. Prysock
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Lisa M. Prysock
Miss Grant, I don't know where you got the idea that men don't have deep feelings, but that's wrong. Oh, we might be better at hiding them. But we get sad and scared and doubtful, the same as anybody else. I can tell you I cried lots of sowing tears when my uncle died after I came to Spiveyville.~Mack Cleveland ~ Kim Vogel Sawyer
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Kim Vogel Sawyer
Nothing good in this world comes free! For everything there's a payment of time or money or soul! ~ Kellyn Roth
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Kellyn Roth
I realize that I can laugh, that it is possible to be happy, that laughter and hope can come back to me. ~ Philippa Gregory
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Philippa Gregory
Too often scholars have thought and even suggested that what happened during and after Constantine was that the church sought to replace the pagan temples, priests, and sacrifices with their own. This is at best a half truth. If this had been primarily what was going on, we would have expected to find priestesses showing up in the mainstream church in and after the time of Constantine, since there were certainly priestesses in the pagan temples. But this we do not find in the historical record. This is because the church of that period was not merely trying to supplant pagan religion with Christian religion, though some of that was going on. More to the point, there was a rising tide of anti-Judaism, and one of its manifestations was this Old Testament hermeneutic. The Torah had been claimed as the church's book, Jews were being ostracized and then later ghettoized, and a hermeneutic of ministry was being adopted which co-opted the Old Testament for church use when it came to priests, temples, and sacrifices, and indeed sacraments in general. Thus ironically enough while the structure of the ecclesial church was becoming more Old Testamental, the church hierarchy was not only becoming less tolerant of Jews, it was forgetting altogether the Jewish character of Jesus' ministry and his modifications of the Passover that led to the Lord's Supper celebration of the early church in the first place. ~ Ben Witherington III
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Ben Witherington III
I enjoy writing historical fiction because it allows me to live more lives than just this one. ~ Karen A. Chase
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Karen A. Chase
When the inner light of the soul shone through like that, the shape of nose or ears became unimportant. She was shining, and it looked almost like a miracle. ~ Lina J. Potter
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Lina J. Potter
Manuel acquired as much land as he could afford and refused to sell it to anyone, even if he was not planting anything on it.
"La tierra no se acaba" ("the land does not perish"), he often said. ~ Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
It is dark and there are bad creatures in these woods."
"Yes, there are ... ~ Katlyn Charlesworth
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Katlyn Charlesworth
Why do I write historical fiction? Johnny Tremain, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Island of the Blue Dolphins-that's why. I'll never forget how it felt to read those books. I want to write books with the same power to transport readers into another time and place. ~ Jennifer Armstrong
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Jennifer Armstrong
History is about ordinary people living their ordinary lives, just as we do today, while all around the world is changing. It makes heroes out of some people and victims out of others. ~ Vicky Adin
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Vicky Adin
You are not by any manner of means the sort of woman I am in search of as a wife, and I am in a totally different universe from the husband you hope to find. But I feel a powerful urge to kiss you, for all that. ~ Mary Balogh
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Mary Balogh
Where there's life, there's learning, and the truth is always calling us out of our pride. If we don't harken, it will call louder, and throw a situation at us. A pebble at first. If we still don't listen, we'll get a stone. Then a rock. Then a great crashing boulder. We must learn, or die. ~ Orna Ross
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Orna Ross
You cruel, hard-hearted gods!" I flung the goblet in his direction. Hermes barely had time to dart out of its way before it hit the wall and shattered to small pieces. "You're all the same! Hsst! Jealous! Vindictive! That's what you are! You allow yourselves to take pleasure with any mortal you wish. Let a goddess do the same. Let a goddess choose a mortal for her lover, and you set off in a fury of revenge against her as if her actions are an affront to you. And all the while, you male gods allow yourselves all kinds of liberties you deny to us females. ~ Tamara Agha-Jaffar
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Tamara Agha-Jaffar
As a publisher and author, I'm a big fan of historical fiction and also memoir. ~ Andrea Davis Pinkney
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Andrea Davis Pinkney
Gut instinct said she was bound to be up to her neck in trouble. She always was. Gut instinct was right ~ Shehanne Moore
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Shehanne Moore
His touch felt like coming back, and Quincy realized she had been waiting for it. When he pulled away, both of his hands now on the sides of her face, his eyes searching hers for answers, Quincy nodded then wrapped her arms around him. She pressed her face to his chest, and his response was to gather her to him, saying something she couldn't her.

And there it was, the heartbeat she had heard the night of the Fothergils' ball, pulsing again in the shell of her ear. Quincy closed her eyes from relief. It gave her the same comfort the sound of the press gave her. It was a familiar machine. ~ Beth Brower
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Beth Brower
So you do enjoy my lovemaking?"
She lifted an eyebrow. "If you can't tell that, sir, you are blind and deaf and probably stupid."
If he'd been a peacock, he would have been strutting about, displaying his feathers. ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
Moonlight does things to a street scene that no other natural or man-made phenomenon can effect. People walk slower, their smiles lingering on contended faces. Horses that usually move along fast enough to stir up the dust off the street plod lazily in the clear, cool night. And in dark corners where people forget to look, the goons come out. ~ Bailey Bristol
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Bailey Bristol
Every time you go to see Hamlet you don't expect it to have a happy ending ... you're still enthralled.
(Interview BBC Radio 4 Today 17 October 2012.) ~ Hilary Mantel
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Hilary Mantel
If only being a damsel in distress--and having a hero sweep in and save her--were a sensible plan. ~ Melissa Jagears
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Melissa Jagears
I'll find out who's inside. Wait here and keep alert!' Hallam rasped. He skirted the main path to skulk towards one of the shuttered windows on the building's eastern wall. There was a crack in the wood and he gently inched closer to peer inside.
There was a hearth-fire with a pot bubbling away and a battered table made of a length of wood over two pieces of cut timber. A small ham hung from the rafters, away from the rats and mice. He couldn't see anyone but there was a murmur of voices. Hallam leaned in even closer and a young boy with hair the colour of straw saw the movement to stare. It was Little Jim. Thank God, the child was safe. Snot hung from his nose and he was pale. Hallam put a finger to his lips, but the boy, not even four, did not understand, and just gaped innocently back.
Movement near the window. A man wearing a blue jacket took up a stone bottle and wiped his long flowing moustache afterwards. His hair was shoulder-length, falling unruly over the red collar of his jacket. Tied around his neck was a filthy red neckerchief. A woman moaned and the man grinned with tobacco stained teeth at the sound. Laughter and French voices. The woman whimpered and Little Jim turned to watch unseen figures. His eyes glistened and his bottom lip dropped. The woman began to plead and Hallam instinctively growled.
The Frenchman, hearing the noise, pushed the shutter open and the pistol's cold muzzle pressed against his forehead.
Hallam watched the man's eye ~ David Cook
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by David        Cook
Want to read my most favorites books? They are Wildflowers, Bridie's Daughter, and Secrets! You'll be glad you did! ~ Robert Noonan
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Robert Noonan
I think I have a very good idea why it is that anti-Semitism is so tenacious and so protean and so enduring. Christianity and Islam, theistic though they may claim to be, are both based on the fetishizing of human primates: Jesus in one case and Mohammed in the other. Neither of these figures can be called exactly historical but both have one thing in common even in their quasi-mythical dimension. Both of them were first encountered by the Jews. And the Jews, ravenous as they were for any sign of the long-sought Messiah, were not taken in by either of these two pretenders, or not in large numbers or not for long.

If you meet a devout Christian or a believing Muslim, you are meeting someone who would give everything he owned for a personal, face-to-face meeting with the blessed founder or prophet. But in the visage of the Jew, such ardent believers encounter the very figure who did have such a precious moment, and who spurned the opportunity and turned shrugging aside. Do you imagine for a microsecond that such a vile, churlish transgression will ever be forgiven? I myself certainly hope that it will not. The Jews have seen through Jesus and Mohammed. In retrospect, many of them have also seen through the mythical, primitive, and cruel figures of Abraham and Moses. Nearer to our own time, in the bitter combats over the work of Marx and Freud and Einstein, Jewish participants and protagonists have not been the least noticeable. May this always be the case, whenever a ~ Christopher Hitchens
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Christopher Hitchens
He'd felt God's gentle urging in his life before, but never had it been so overt. It was as if a general had ridden onto the battlefield to direct the operation himself instead of leaving it in the hands of his officers. ~ Karen Witemeyer
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Karen Witemeyer
When we stop caring, the world hurts a lot - Awa ~ Rehan Khan
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Rehan Khan
I do not need to understand words to know he is disappointed I am not a boy. Some things need no translation. And I know, because my body remembers without benefit of words, that men who do not welcome girl-babies will not treasure me as I grow to woman - though he call me princess just because the Guru told him to.

I have come so far, I have borne so much pain and emptiness!

But men have not yet changed. ~ Shauna Singh Baldwin
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Shauna Singh Baldwin
Jewish history is never simply about the Jews, but always about their relationship with the rest of society. ~ Abigail Green
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Abigail Green
Those sectaries in Europe who are always expecting the end of the world, but who hope that, after the earth has been consumed by fire, they will be seated in glory: grilled a little, crisp at the edges and blackened in parts, but still, thanks be to God, alive for eternity, and seated at his right hand. ~ Hilary Mantel
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Hilary Mantel
Love is an elusive fantasy that torments maidens and confounds young men. ~ Padraic Connelly
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Padraic Connelly
She had wanted more than she could have.
She had wanted him, and more ... she had wanted him to want her.
In the name of something bigger than tradition, bolder than reputation, more important than a silly title. ~ Sarah MacLean
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Sarah MacLean
I do not want to be a relative and passive being, anywhere. I want to live and love and write. ~ A.S. Byatt
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by A.S. Byatt
The Porto Ricans at Harvard University believe that the crime was a horrible one and it should be punished, but death penalty would add to, and not detract from, its horrors," the Harvard students wrote. One of the student signatures on the letter was by Pedro Albizu y Campos who would later become a Puerto Rican promoter of ideals for the island's independence from the United States. ~ Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini
When giving up is not an option, you survive at any cost. ~ Liliana Shelbrook
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Liliana Shelbrook
Together, we travel the living river. We turn our faces to the sunlight and fly time and time again home to Kingdom Arcadia. ~ Lisa Wingate
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Lisa Wingate
Writing fiction is a respectable way of fibbing for a living - and enjoying it!
-Anne George ~ Anne George
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Anne    George
I stop to brace myself against the walls, which are painted with the fingerprints of family. ~ Nancy B. Brewer
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Nancy B. Brewer
LIPID (Last Idiot Person I Dated) syndrome: a largely undiagnosed but pervasive disease that afflicts single women. ~ Lauren Willig
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Lauren Willig
No one writes better historical fiction than Steven Pressfield. The Afghan War that was waged by Alexander the Great 2000 years ago is eerily similar to the one that's being fought today. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to better understand what American and Coalition forces are up against in one of history's most tribal and troubled regions. ~ Vince Flynn
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Vince Flynn
Bram stared into a pair of wide, dark eyes. Eyes that reflected a surprising glimmer of intelligence. This might be the rare female a man could reason with.
"Now, then," he said. "We can do this the easy way, or we can make things difficult."
With a soft snort, she turned her head. It was as if he'd ceased to exist.
Bram shifted his weight to his good leg, feeling the stab to his pride. He was a lieutenant colonel in the British army, and at over six feet tall, he was said to cut an imposing figure. Typically, a pointed glance from his quarter would quell the slightest hint of disobedience. He was not accustomed to being ignored.
"Listen sharp, now." He gave her ear a rough tweak and sank his voice to a low threat. "If you know what's good for you, you'll do as I say."
Though she spoke not a word, her reply was clear: You can kiss my great wolly arse.
Confounded sheep. ~ Tessa Dare
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Tessa Dare
We may be finished with the past but the past is not finished with us. ~ Donald Riggio
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Donald Riggio
'All we can see is the surface. But there's so much more we can't see beneath. I bet it's as big as the world down there, underneath the water. There could be anything down there. Things we can't even imagine. How can we understand anything if we can see so little of it?' ~ Augusta Li
Christian Historical Fiction quotes by Augusta Li
And what does war even accomplish? How does one country win over another by simply killing its people? None of it makes any sense. ~ Susan Meissner
