    All the previous recommendations are great. I would like to add: The Marc Royce series by David Bunn, The Marcus Ryker series by Joel C. Rosenberg, The J.B. Collins series by Joel C. Rosenberg, The David Shirazi series by Joel C. Rosenberg, The Last Jihad series by Joel C. Rosenberg, The Auschwitz Escape by Joel C. Rosenberg. All these books are EXCELLENT!

    Hi Morlee. As several folks mentioned, my Christian thrillers are great for men. I hear from a lot of female readers who have turned their husbands on to my books. I hope you will check them out. All 15 of my titles are available from INGRAM and on Amazon. Creston Mapes

      Thanks so much for sharing with us today! I need to check our catalog to see which of your books we need to add to our collection. We have a men's reading group that lean toward nonFiction because their facilitator prefers nonFiction. Our prayers go with you as one of my church's favorite authors.

        Morlee, thank you for your prayers. That means a lot to me. I have series books (Signs of Life Series, Crittendon Files, Rock Star Chronicles), and stand-alone thrillers (I Am In Here, Celebrity Pastor, and Nobody ...and soon launching Sapphire Island). Let me know if you need any further information. All best. Creston

    Every book by Creston Mapes!

    James Rubart is good (The Five Times I Met Myself, Spirit Bridge, Rooms). Just to go a little askew, there are some female Christian authors I also really enjoy: Dorothy L Sayers (The Man Born To Be King, The Emperoor Constantine), Sharon Dunn (Death of a Garage Sale Newbie, Romance Rustlers and Thunderbird Thieves), Rene Gutteridge (Boo, Boo Who, Boo His, My Life as a Doormat), Mindy Starns Clark (The Trouble with Tulip, Blind Dates Can be Murder, A Penny for Your Thoughts) Nancy Moser (not related) (Mozart's Sister, Time Lottery), Mary Connealy (Tried and True, Now and Forever), Sandy Dengler (Cat Killer, Mouse Trapped, Murder on the Mount, etc.).

    Anything by Creston Mapes or Charles Martin.  
    Charles Martin's series that starts with The Water Keeper is very exciting It was a bit graphic in describing the human trafficking incidents and the violence for some of the women in our book club, but it should be fine for the guys.

    There are a number of good fiction books for men, but perhaps the best way to pinpoint them is by author. Here are a handful from our library:

    Randy Alcorn, Chuck Black, Stephen Bly (western), Terry Burns (western), Jerry Jenkins, Gilbert Morris, Bill Myers, Frank Peretti, Joel C. Rosenberg, B.N. Rundell (western), Brock Thoene, J.R.R. Tolkien, Amir Tsarfati.
