Happy Tuesday, readers! Today’s Top Ten topic is “Christian Fiction that Includes Men on the Cover.” Have you ever noticed that Christian Fiction books are suspiciously void of men on the covers? Even in suspense novels, if there’s a person shown, they’re usually female. To be fair, there is a severe shortage of good male stock photography available to cover designers that aren’t part of a couple. But there are a few! Here are ten recommended reads that also feature the MMC (Male Main Character) on the cover.
- The Musician’s Dream by B.M. Baker
- The Cairo Curse by Pepper Basham
- Claim by Lisa T. Bergren
- Riptide by Lisa T. Bergren
- Torrent by Lisa T. Bergren
- In the Night Season by Jennifer Q. Hunt
- Treacherous by Susan Laspe
- Delirious by Susan Laspe
- Enkindle in Me by Erin Lewis
- At Love’s Command by Karen Witemeyer
Have you read any of these? Are there any other MMC covers you’d recommend?

I love Pepper Basham and Karen Witemeyer’s books! I recently read Milla Holt’s Small Town Harmony (and Home Town Melody) and enjoyed it. Here are several other’s that have MMC on the cover: Thanksgiving Protector by Sharon Dunn, more of Karen’s books, Expired Promise by Emilie Hainey, several of The Sanctuary series by Lisa Phillips, and several of Susan May Warren’s books.

Interesting! I hadn’t really thought about it before, but I tend to avoid covers that have solitary men on them, probably because I always prefer a female POV. Great, unique topic.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
