Frank Peretti is a top author in this genre. His books like 'This Present Darkness' and 'The Oath' are full of suspense and spiritual themes. Another great one is Ted Dekker. His works often have complex plots and explore Christian ideas in a thrilling way. Francine Rivers also stands out. Her 'The Mark of the Lion' series is both a historical and a faith - filled thriller.

John le Carré is one of the best. His books like 'The Constant Gardener' are filled with complex characters and intricate plots. Another great author is Robert Ludlum. His 'Covert - One' series is full of action and mystery. Tom Clancy also wrote some great spy - themed novels, such as 'The Hunt for Red October' which is very exciting.

Beverly Lewis is one of the best. Her books like 'The Heritage of Lancaster County' series are very well - known and vividly depict Amish life. Cindy Woodsmall is also great. She has written many novels that explore the complex relationships and faith within the Amish community. Suzanne Woods Fisher is another top author. Her works often focus on the Amish way of life and how they face various challenges while holding on to their Christian beliefs.

Karen Kingsbury is also very popular. She writes a lot of heartwarming Christian fiction stories that usually focus on family, faith, and relationships. Her books are widely read and have a large following among Christian readers.

Francine Rivers is definitely one of the best. Her books like 'Redeeming Love' are masterpieces. Jan Karon is also great. Her 'The Mitford Series' is very popular among women. And Catherine Marshall with 'Christy' has made a significant impact in this genre.

Sure. 'The Robe' by Lloyd C. Douglas is a classic. It tells the story of the Roman soldier who won Jesus' robe at the crucifixion and how his life is changed. It's full of historical details and a sense of mystery. Another great one is 'In His Steps' by Charles M. Sheldon. It poses the question 'What would Jesus do?' in a context that has elements of thriller as characters face moral and life - threatening situations.

The 'Left Behind' series is one of the best - selling Christian thriller fiction books. It's about the end times and what might happen to believers and non - believers. Another best - seller is 'This Present Darkness' which really got people interested in the idea of spiritual warfare in a fictional context.

Tolkien can also be considered among the top. While 'The Lord of the Rings' isn't overtly a Christian work, Tolkien was a devout Catholic and his work is filled with Christian undertones. There are themes of hope in the face of darkness, the importance of friendship, and the idea of a greater good. Madeleine L'Engle is also well - known. Her 'A Wrinkle in Time' contains elements that touch on Christian concepts like the power of love and the fight against evil in a universe - spanning adventure that appeals to both young and old readers.

I'm not sure of all the specific 2023 Christian fiction authors off the top of my head. But there are likely established Christian fiction authors who continued to release works in 2023. Some well - known names in the broader Christian fiction genre could be Francine Rivers. She may have had new releases or re - releases in 2023.

Some of the best in Christian thriller fiction include 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis. It's a unique take on the genre as it's told from the perspective of a devil writing letters to his nephew on how to tempt a human. Then there's 'When the Saints' by David Baldacci. It has a complex plot with a Christian undertone and lots of action - packed scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat.
