Here are five I've come across within the last few years. If you wanted to get hold of the whole pile, it would make a fascinating, mystical read-athon.
1) The Book of Days by James L. Rubart.
Psalm
139: 16 tells us that our days were all recorded in God's Book of Days
before any of them came to be. The hero, Cameron, hears rumors about the physical existence of
such a book, with past, present and future histories of every man and
woman written in it. He sets off on a quest to find it.My review is here.
2) The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Farber
The missionary hero, Peter, sets off to share the contents of our Bible with strange beings on another planet. He has no idea how different it will be to them.My review is here.
3) The Book of Tomorrow by Cecilia Ahern
The young heroine, Tamara, discovers a strange book which tells her events set to take place within the next few days, before they even happen.4) The Book Keeper by Julieann Wallace
Handsome hero, Cohen Darcy, doesn't even like books, but circumstances make him custodian of an eerie book which is being written as he lives his life. The author, Julieann Wallace, is a fellow Australian author friend of mine. I had fun reading her book. My review is here.5) The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
A young boy receives a mysterious, tiny book to read on his road trip. The more he gets stuck into it, the more he finds that it has bearing on his own life, even though it appears to written about long ago people. My review is here.
If anybody can think of any more stories about such remarkable books, please share them with me.
