okay, I am not sure if the contents have to be "christian" or not but: I really enjoy reading Clive Cussler. His books ( audio for me) are incredible.. and for the most part, they have no cursing. "The Treasure of Khan" was great!!! They are filled with lots of adventure and history! He is a great writer...

Mitch Albom, for one more day is a very good book , as well as his other book; Tuesdays with Morrie. They are easy reads but so applicable to many situations in life.
Blessings, Rhoni

I've been wanting to read this book and I was wondering what others thought about it!

What kind of writer is Clive Cussler?
I've noticed his books in the store, but have never read one.
I like to read some easy fiction every once in awhile like
Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton, Clarence Mulford, Zane Grey, Max Brand,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agathia Christi, Sir Walter Scott, etc.

Clive Cussler is a real-life treasure hunter who writes fiction with Dirk Pitt as the main character of each of his books.... in each of his stories, Dirk (who is also a treasure hunter) goes after some precious historical object and is an Indiana Jones type person.....
Clive Cussler was apart of the team that found and salvaged the Civil War submarine vessel quite a few years ago.... hes a successful author who has like a million books out.... he usually writes one every year or so....

thanks for answering this. I have found his books to be most interesting... with the mix of truth and fiction, they are great! I prefer the more romatic books (christian based of course). But we don't go on a trip without a new clive cussler.
Dirk Pitt is usually his main character but he also has stories with Juan Cabrillo.... I enjoy both...The politics of today play alot with his stories and I find it fascinating how he ties the past in with things going on today! And btw, he is usually very clean, not much cursing or risque scenes.

I LOVE Zane Grey! I like Agathia Christi and Sir ACD also. I have read a few of Louis L'Amour. I also like Phyllis Whitney. I have read everything she has written for adults. (some a couple of times) Usually no swearing and very clean. Victoria Holt is also good.

Speaking of True Adventure stories I'm reading a book right now called ........
"Wild Men, Wild Alaska" by Rocky McElveen.
I'm enjoying it SO much. This guy was one of Alaska's foremost hunting and fishing guides. He was the son of an Alaskan missionary and a seminary graduate.
"For twenty years he has been a professional guide in that state. His knowledge of the primitive frontier along with his warm, hospitable manner adds an unprecedented dimension to his credentials as a master fishing and registered hunting guide.
He is esteemed as a friend by many who have been under his guide: Pres. George Bush, Sr.; General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager; Major League Baseball player Dave Dravecky; Bob Seiple, president of World Vision; Pastor Chuck Swindoll, and Oakland A's pitcher Mike Moore to name only a few."
I recommend the book. I think you'd enjoy it as much as I am if you have a liking for this kind of writing and real life adventure stories like I do.
