Faith, History, and Forgiveness: Inside Historical Christian Romance with Tracie Peterson (E202)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Tracie Peterson, often called the Queen of Historical Christian Fiction. An ECPA, CBA, and USA Today bestselling author of more than 110 books, Tracie has spent decades weaving together faith, history, and romance for readers around the world. Her guiding motto in both life and writing is Soli Deo Gloria — For God Alone the Glory. A Kansas native now living in the mountains of Montana with her husband, Jim, Tracie joins me to discuss her latest novel, Faithful of Heart, part of the Minnesota Legacy series.
Episode Highlights:
- Her deep research process, especially her love of firsthand historical accounts.
- Why setting functions almost like a secondary character in her novels.
- The heart behind Faithful of Heart and what’s ahead for the Minnesota Legacy series.
- Balancing reading and writing, and how deadlines shape her reading life.
- The themes of hope and forgiveness that thread through her stories.
- Her book flight includes historical Christian romances that beautifully blend faith, perseverance, and love.
This conversation is thoughtful, grounded, and rooted in a lifetime of faithful storytelling.
