Profiles Of Two Christian Historical Fiction Authors

By Leslie Ball


A Christian novel may be described as a book that presents a Christian theme or one that has a Christian plot and/or characters. "The Fellowship of the Ring, " by J. R. R. Tolkien, was written by a Christian author and, perhaps surprisingly, contains Christian themes. Two of the most successful Christian historical fiction authors are Taylor Caldwell and Wendy Alec, both of whom hail from the United Kingdom.

Taylor Caldwell was born in the northwestern city of Manchester, England, on the seventh of September, 1900. Over the course of her 84 years on earth, she married four times, divorced twice, was widowed once and gave birth to two daughters. Her fourth marriage ended with her death of heart failure in 1985. Some of her most famous biographical novels have concerned the lives of Judas, the disciple who betrayed Christ; Luke, noted physician and author of two books in the New Testament, Luke and Acts; and "Great Lion of God, " about the apostle Paul.

When you read one of Caldwell's novels, her descriptions are so vivid that you have to keep reminding yourself that what you are reading is fiction, and not a chronicle of actual events. The "Great Lion of God, " for example, reads so vividly you could swear that it was a first-person account of the apostle's life and work. Sadly, this book is no longer in print, nor is there a Kindle version, but it is generally possible to find a copy or two available for sale on the Internet.

Taylor Caldwell also wrote, "The Devil's Advocate, " a dystopian tale in which North America falls under the reign of a Communist dictatorship. She won numerous awards for her writing, including the Grand Prix Chatvain in 1950; the National League of American Pen Women gold medal in 1948; and, in 1949, she won the Buffalo Evening News Award. Altogether, she published more than 42 novels.

Born in London and raised in South Africa, Wendy Alec is the founder and head of God TV in addition to being an extremely talented and popular bestselling author. Like Taylor Caldwell, she, too, was divorced. In 2014, she announced the shocking news that her husband of 20 years had left her for another woman. Strong Christian woman that she is, she accepted the split for the Satanic attack that it was and, through prayer, allowed God to heal her.

In addition to co-founding and running a successful television company, Alec has demonstrated a gift for writing novels. She is best known for authoring the best-selling series, "Chronicle of Brothers, " stories of the relationships and struggles between the three archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer. Like her counterpart, Alec has a talent for detailed descriptions that envelope the reader as if they were right there in the room.

Throughout the writing of "Fall of Lucifer, " Wendy remained in constant contact with the Almighty, seeking His guidance in what to write. In her autobiography, "Against All Odds, " she describes the gestation and delivery of one of the world's fastest-growing television networks.

Nearly a century apart, these two supernaturally talented women walked starkly similar paths. They both devoted their lives to touching souls that may never have sought God had they not encountered them through their novels.
