Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

It’s 2022!!!  Can you believe it? Last year I participated in a few reading challenges and really enjoyed it, so when someone joked on Avid Readers of Christian Fiction that I had enough books to create my own reading challenge, I thought, “Why not?”

So, after some initial attempts at overcomplication, I came up with something simple enough to make it easy for readers to achieve. All you do is fill in the form by January 5, 2023 (time to finish on New Year’s Eve and get your books recorded). Everyone who submits a challenge win will receive their prize as the forms are submitted (and if I can figure out how to make it work, it’ll be instantaneous!)  All entries will be counted toward fun grand prizes, too!

Ready to find out?

2022 Write Reading Challenge

Chautona’s 2022 Reading Challenge

With over 100 books, half a dozen genres, and some hefty series, let’s face it. We’ve got enough to really challenge you. So, I’ve broken this challenge into several tiers.

So… What are the tiers?

  • Suspense/Mystery
  • Historical
  • Youth
  • Christmas
  • BYOC (build your own challenge of 10 books)
  • Book Devourers (read ‘em all)

I’ve got prizes and discounts, too!

Frankly, this’ll be on an honor system, but I will ask that you use Goodreads if you have an account so that people see my books come up in your feed. It’s a great way to get the word out there about them without making a lot of work for you!

If you complete your challenge, you will receive the prize associated with that challenge. If you complete three (or the Book Devourer), there will be a special book offered JUST for those folks. Yep, I’m writing a (very short) novella JUST for those who are brave enough to read three sets of books or all the books. I’m even going to put it in paperback and offer it at a crazy cheap price (covering expenses, basically) just as my thanks for reading “all the books.”

Note: a couple of the challenges WILL have duplicates. That works in your favor. For example, historical will have Madeline. So will Mystery/Suspense. So, that’s five books for sure that you’ll get to mark off TWO lists.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 429: A Chat with J. A. Webb
byChautona Havig

Christian dystopian thrillers are too few and far between, but author J. A. Webb has a great one for us. Listen in while we chat about his Seekers Series and the second book, Inheritance.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

Mix a corrupt secret society along with a priest on the run, and you’ve got a great mix. This series promises to be full of amazing twists and turns. 

  Inheritance by J. A. Webb

 A Dystopian Thriller of Deception, Faith, and the Fight for Truth

The Order has been betrayed. The hunters have been loosed.

Father Curtis has forsaken his vows. He has left the Order and joined the Seekers, a hidden rebellion dedicated to uncovering the truth long buried by the global church. But walking away from the Order does not mean escaping its reach.

When word spreads that a copy of the True Text — the original thirty-nine books of the Creator — has surfaced on the far side of the world, Curtis, Professor Reuel, and Phillip embark on a desperate mission. If they can retrieve the artifact, it could change everything. If they fail, the truth will be lost forever.

But the Eye of the Eternal, the secret police of the Order, has already mobilized. Their assassins are relentless. Their power is absolute. And they will stop at nothing to silence the truth.

Outnumbered and hunted, Curtis and his allies must risk everything to defy an empire built on deception. But against such overwhelming darkness, is faith enough? Or will their inheritance — humanity’s true past — be erased from history once and for all?

The war for truth has begun. And the Order will not suffer heretics to live.

A Gripping Tale of Power, Deception, and the Courage to Seek Truth

🔥 Perfect for fans of dystopian thrillers like 1984, Brave New World, and The Da Vinci Code—but with a Christian twist!

⚡ A suspense-filled journey into a world where illusion is law and questioning it means death.

📖 If you love stories of faith, defiance, and the battle against unseen tyranny, this is the book for you.

The Order has ruled from the shadows long enough. Are you ready to see the truth?

Austria, 1939. Before the "death trains," Hitler's Austria, 1939. Before the "death trains," Hitler's regime deported ten thousand children to Holland, Sweden, and even England on what was known as the Kindertransport. Two desperate mothers send their only childrent to safety on this Kindertransport, but when those children arrive, nothing is as it seems or should be.  A war-time mystery twist on "Hansel and Gretel" set just before the invasion of Poland.
