Saturday Christian Fiction Carnival--Most Memorable Character

I'm going to put up a poll with all the options for a new name later today, so check back!

Today's question is:

There are many outstanding characters in the books we read but often there's that one special character we remember for a long time. Sometimes it's because we relate to them, or maybe we were going through something similar to what they experienced. Or maybe they are just the sort of person we wish we were.
Who is the most memorable character in Christian fiction for you and why?

Saturday Christian Fiction Carnival: Thrill Me!

First of all, I was so excited that so many of you participated last week! I think we had a lot of fun, and it was so much fun to see all the different reasons we love Christian fiction. I only got name suggestions from one person...so be sure to send in your suggestions if you have some!

Ok, here's today's question:

Whether or not you celebrate Halloween, there's something about the shorter days and chilly air that makes one want to curl up with a scary book. The horror market for Christian fiction is growing in creativity and testing all sorts of boundaries. The suspense market is also very rich with many talented authors. So my question(s) for you is...what's the best Christian fiction horror or suspense novel that you've read? What book would you recommend to someone who wanted to try out these genres? What's a book in these genres you want to read but haven't yet?

To Participate please remember to do these things:
1) Make sure you leave a link to the specific post (permalink) in which you answer the question. That way, we can easily find your answer. I know some of you post multiple times daily and it can be frustrating for someone to try to find your answer if you just link to your general URL.

2) Please link back to THIS specific post in your post so that everyone can navigate easily back and forth to read each other's answers.
