I have received requests for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series list of books from quite a few people. These books are not mysteries, but (apparently) this Guideposts’ Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is very akin to some of the mystery series which I have posted in previous entries:
Mystery and the Minister’s Wife Mystery Series
The Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is a series of NON mystery chronological books, which is published by Guideposts. The series follows three sisters who live in Pennsylvania. Alice, Jane, and Louise run a Bed & Breakfast. The series is written by several Christian authors…
I have written another entry which has other authors who don’t use profanity in their novels (as far as I am aware!)
Shelby says
Guideposts has two other series along the same lines.
Home to Heather Creek
and
Stories from Hope Haven
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, Shelby, for reminding me. I have also gotten requests to include both of those series, but am finding it a little difficult to pin down the authors of some of the books. I will post pages for them on the site pretty soon…
Sarah says
Grace Chapel Inn series and the Mystery Minister’s Wife
series are the BEST I have read. Wish I had all the Grace Chapel Inn but just got in this year. Have all the Minister’s Wife series.
Keep up the good writing.
Mary says
I have 48 of the Grace Chapel Inn Series.
Trudy says
Mary ~
Can you give me the titles of all the Grace Chapel Inn books and the order (year) they go in – I bought 28 of them for my parents for Christmas, but don’t know what order they need to read them in.
Thanks, Trudy
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Trudy, here is the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series page I have on the Cozy Mystery Site. It has the chronological list of all of the books. I hope this helps:
Tales from Grace Chapel Inn List of Books
Wanda says
JUST NOW became introduced to Grace Chapel books. Should they be read in order? I enjoy watching characters develop.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Wanda, I don’t read this series, but am an avid believer that series are best when read chronologically, for the exact reason you state.
Naomi Fields says
I would love to have the books in the order to be read. I have been given the complete set of Tales from Grace Chapel and have no clue where to start
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Naomi, the full chronological list can be found here: Tales from Grace Chapel Inn
Hope that helps!
Elise says
Hi Mary, I see you have had lots of help with finding the series order, you will love it!
I have also read ” The Ladies of Covington” series and thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
Happy Reading!!
Leah says
Do you have to read Grace Chapel Inn books in order?
Elise says
Hi Leah,
It’s not necessary to read them in order but it helps to keep up to who is who and to be able to follow the thread of the stories. Having said that, I have skipped one or two as I couldn’t find them and still really enjoyed the stories.
Mary says
What is the Series of Minister’s Wife about and who writes them. How many are in their series?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Mary, that would be the Mystery and the Minister’s Wife Mystery Series.
Frances says
Just a suggestion….try your local library. I just started reading the Grace Chapel Inn series last summer and have found that if my local library doesn’t have it, they can order if from a inter library borrowing program.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Frances, I am so glad that more and more libraries are doing the inter-library loans.
Pamela says
Sarah…..I have lots of the books and would be happy to pass some on to you.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Sarah,
I know that both Tales from Grace Chapel Inn and Mystery and the Minister’s Wife have a lot of fans out there.
Kay says
I have also loved Mysteries from Sparrow Island. Does anyone have an actual list of all the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn? I have read 47 of them. Are there more of them? Please let me know. Thanks.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Hi Kay,
Here is the list of the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn books that I have posted on the Cozy Mystery site. It looks like there are 48 in the series… so far!
pat says
i have had trouble finding them all,my husband ordered 4 on amazon. i have read all the ones our library system(tulsa) has, plus they have ordered 3 out of our system. is there a good site to get them ? thanks Pat
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I’m sorry, Pat, but I don’t know of a site that sells all of the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn books…
Gina says
Hi Pat,
I have found them at Walmart and ChristianBooks.com (not sure if the ‘s’ is in that) also check bookdepository.com.
Pamela says
Pat, I can pass some to you.
Abi says
Pat,
My mom orders them through Guidepost, and has all but two, and she gets them every few months. Does anyone know….are there only 47 books in that series??
Thanks!
Abi
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Abi, I am only aware of the 47 books in the Tales of Grace Chapel Inn series…
Mary says
48 is Christmas Memories
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Mary, I have amended the Tales of Grace Chapel Inn page to show that there are 48 books in the series.
Sharon says
50 I believe. I am trying to find Prayers and Pawprints – 2012 in the original hardcover but haven’t located yet. There are 2 others – Christmas Memories – 2012 and Christmas Traditions – 2012 which I was just able to find.
jinny says
I also love and collect the Grace Chapel Inn series and know of only 47 books also. Nice to know so many others enjoy them too
Mary says
Have you read #48 Christmas Memories?
shirley says
Mary
Who writes Christmas Memories?
Shirley
Jeanette says
48 Christmas Memories from Grace Chapel Inn
49 Christmas Traditions
Cheryl says
Tales of Grace Chapel Inn, is a fantastic series of Books. I have read almost half of them. My cousin, who writes under the name of Rebecca Kelly, Wrote about 6 of the books. She is a very Talented Writer. I am very proud of her, and all, that she has accomplished.Can’t wait to read the rest of the Series. I would like to extend a Special Thank you to all the Authors. I truly love this Series.
Cheryl, Pasadena Maryland
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Cheryl, how terribly neat that your cousin writes some of the Tales of Grace Chapel Inn mysteries. No wonder you are proud of her!
Julie says
Cheryl, are there any new books coming out in the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Julie, I think this is it for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series…
Maxine says
I have a list of 47 also. But I just won a bid for one entitled
A puzzling Occurance, which is not on my list of 47.???
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Maxine, I show A Puzzling Occurrence by Sunni Jeffers as belonging to the Mysteries of Sparrow Island series.
Dawn says
Is the list that was published the correct order in which the Grace Chapel Inn series is to be read?
Or, do they not need to be read chronologically?
Thanks for any help you can offer! We are brand new to the series!
Gina says
I read the first three in order. I think that after that you can jump around but will get character growth and relationship spoilers.
Gina says
I was wrong….I read 1, 3 and 4. I don’t know if I missed anything with book 2.
47? yikes! going shopping….. 😉
Leon says
Try e-bay, just bought 11 for $34 new condition
Karen O says
Will there be more books in the Tales of Grace Chapel Inn? I’ve read all 47.
Marilyn says
I just started collecting/reading this the Grace Chapel Inn series, and I noticed on Christian Book Distributors there are three titles available beyond the 47 we know about now:
“Never Give Up” by Pam Hanson and Barbara Andrews
“Rally Round the Flag” by Jane Orcutt
“Sing a New Song” by Sunni Jeffers
Does anyone know in what order these new three should be read?
Helen says
Marilyn… According to the list I have, “Never Give Up” is number 31; “Rally Round the Flag” is number 20; and “Sing a New Song” is number 36, in the list of 47.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marilyn, Never Give Up is book 31, Rally Round the Flag is book 20, and Sing a New Song is book 36 of the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn…
shirley says
How do I go about getting a current copy of all the books that have been written in the Grace Chapel Inn series? I’ve read about 13 books from the series and I just love them.I said copy but I meant current list. I get most of the books through the library but I need to know the titles of the books and the writers’ names to get them that way.
Shirley
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Shirley, here is the list (off of the Cozy Mystery site) with all of the Grace Chapel Inn books.
Carol says
I fell in love with these books through Guidepost and was really having a hard time finding them, until I visited Books-a-million at our local mall. I was lucky enough to find a few of them for only $5.00. But, they sell out so quickly. I’m so happy to have found your webpage with the entire list. After going through my books I found out that mine aren’t in the order they were published. So, now I will be on the hunt for the earlier ones. I just purchased the newest one, ” Christmas Memories” this week, that brings the total to 48 books and I only have 12 in my collection. I know what to put on my Christmas list this year. Blessings to all.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Your book shop sounds like a great place, Carol!
Joyce says
I too have had a terrible time finding the Grace Chapel Inn series. But on Monday Dec. 26,2011 I hit a gold mine. I was in Mardens in Lewiston Me and found many of the series for little to nothing in price. They were all new books so I grabbed as many of them that I did not have.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
You really did “hit a gold mine”, Joyce. I know that some people have found them at garage sales, as well as donation shops.
Donna says
I find a lot of good clean used books on ebay – and the prices are usually good, too! 🙂 Amazon may have them, too.
Linda H says
Summer of 2011 – between 6/20 and 8/22 I had two major knee surgeries and could only walk with a walker. Up until 6/17 I had been working full time in the electronic industry. We live far out in the country and I wasn’t sure how I would get through the months of surgery and then recovery. A friend loaned me all of the Grace Chapel Inn books and I read all of them. The wonderful stories truly helped me get through a very difficult part of my life and I will always remember the comfort and happiness they gave me.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda H, it’s interesting how we can remember certain times in our lives by thinking of the books we were reading at the time. You are lucky to have a friend who was looking out for you!
shirley says
Danna,
I’m wondering if any more books have come out in the Grace Chapel Inn series, since Christmas Memories. Also I was wondering if the series Stories from Hope Haven by Guideposts is available in stores or only from Guideposts?
Shirley
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Shirley, I know that you can get some of the Grace Chapel Inn books from Amazon, and I think they are available from E-Bay. As for stores, I don’t know.
JoAnn says
can you list the names of books in Grace Chapel Inn, Patchwork mysteries, and Miracle Cove
Danna - cozy mystery list says
JoAnn, I have the lists of Grace Chapel Inn and Patchwork Mystery Series on site. Here are the links. I do not, however, have Miracle Cove. (I had actually never heard of this series until you mentioned it.)
Leon says
I think, and I don’t think often because it hurts, it would be nice if the newest entries were at the top of this page instead of the very bottom. Just my thoughts.
shirley says
Have just discovered that there is another Tales from Grace chapel Inn book being released October 1 2012. It is titled christmas Traditions by Sunni Jeffers and Pam Hanson. it is availabe through Amazon. I just pre ordered a copy for my Kindle Fire and it will be delivered to my reader on the release date.
I read a description on it. It is much like Christmas Memories in that it goes back in time to when the girls were young. They share Christmas memories. Their mother was still alive and their father. Jane also gets to share some Christmas memories of when she was young. Of coarse Jane never got to know her mother. I believe it will be a very good read, because this time it is not compiled but was written by two very talented writers.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Shirley, thanks for telling us about the new Tales from Grace Chapel Inn book called Christmas Traditions. I just added it to my “working copy” of the October 2012 Mystery Book New Releases.
Tammy says
Based on another person’s reference to Amazon above, I did a search on Amazon today and sorted by publication date. It looks like 2 books are being released on 3/1/2013. One is called The Kindness of Strangers by Susan Meier and the other was called Talk of the Town by Anne Marie Rodgers.
Tammy says
Looking at your list again, it looks like Talk of the Town is # 41 and Kindness of Strangers is # 23… so apparently these are not new. Sorry
MARSHA M. says
I HAVE READ 30 PLUS GRACE CHAPEL INN BOOKS AND I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE NEW RELEASES. I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN ”ACORN HILL” AS THE QUAINT LITTLE TOWN SEEMS SO WELCOMING- GRACE CHAPEL INN ! IS THERE ANY CHANCE A COOKBOOK WILL BE BROUGHT OUT WITH ALL OF JANE’S RECIPES? I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED FINDING HER RECIPES IN SOME OF THE BOOKS.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marsha, I have no idea if there will be a Tales from Grace Chapel Inn cookbook. Hopefully, if there is, someone will let us all know.
Elizabeth B says
Was #49 Christmas Traditions published in hardcover or just paperback? Also, I saw a list that mentions a book “Prayers and Pawprints” for this series…does it exist and is it available in hardcover?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Elizabeth B, here is the complete list of the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series (that I know of!). I wonder if the book you are thinking about is Diann Hunt’s Prayers, Paws & Providence, which I show as # 16 on the list. I show that #49 Christmas Traditions was published in paperback and is now available in Kindle format.
Elizabeth B says
Thanks for the good info, Danna!
ProudPitbullMama says
I own many books in the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series they are such wonderful stories!! Definitely a forever fan!!! I will never part with these treasures and I am currently looking for the books I am missing! Just picked up one today at the Goodwill in my town. Every time I go to a bookstore I always look for any books in the series!! … many of the books I have in the series were picked up at a second hand bookstore (hardcover editions mostly and in new condition, they didn’t even look to have been opened much less read before … I picked up about 23 books in this awesome series that day, I was definitely blessed that day because since then it has been hard for me to find any of them 🙁 … Sadly!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
PPM, it sounds like you lucked into going to your used bookstore that particular day. Someone must have just taken the entire Grace Chapel Inn Series. Lucky you!
Shirley says
I love The Grace Chapel Inn Series. Sadly they seem to have discontinued it. How could we as fans of this series get the message out to Guideposts publications that we wish to see this series continued. It would take more than one fan emailing them I’m certain. If we all want to see this series continued than we would need to contact Guidepost to let them know how we feel. Perhaps if we did then they would consider adding some new books to the series. It would be nice if we knew who to contact and have an email for that person. Could you help us Danna by finding out who we could email .
Thank you and God Bless You
Shirley
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Shirley, I’m sorry, but I have no idea how to contact GuidePosts, other than to go to their website and see if you can contact them through that. I just looked at their website, and couldn’t find a phone number or an email address for you to send your petition.
Shirley says
Thanks Danna for trying to help me and I really appreciate it. I will try every way I can to let them know we would like more New books out in this series. Like I mentioned earlier it will take more than 1 interested reader of this series to contact them. So how about it you guys who like the Grace Chapel Inn Series. Let’s tell Guidepost what we think.
Donna Mc says
My Mom and her friends LOVE those books! I hope you (Shirley) can find some contact information. Did you try looking inside the print version for the publisher’s address? It is usually on the page where it shows the copyright information and stuff like that, that nobody reads.
Barb says
I have been asking for the title lists of quite a few series:
Chapel Hill and many others no one seems to be listening to me. Could someone answer my questions and/or send a list of the series that Guidepost offers?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Barb, I haven’t been aware of your questions about these series. Perhaps you have been writing to Guideposts. I know it is a little frustrating trying to get the lists of their series from them. You can find all of the links to these series at the bottom of this entry:
Mystery Books with No Profanity (Swearing) and/or Faith-Based Mystery Books
Once you click on this link, all you have to do is click on the link of whichever series you want to look at, and it will take you to the lists of each of those series >>> or to the authors who are listed at the top of the entry.
I hope this helps!
theresa says
Would like to buy the rest of Kristin exhaust books. I have 1-20 if any one knows where I can get them let me know.thanks.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Theresa, if the Kristin books you’re talking about are the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series, I have all of the links that will take you to Amazon, where you can buy the books, or you can take a look at Ebay. I’m pretty sure you can find them there as well.
PEGGY says
Are there Grace Chapel Inn audiobooks other than BACK HOME AGAIN? We love listening to audiobooks when we travel.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Peggy, after I read your comment, I looked for Tales of Grace Chapel Inn audiobooks, but I didn’t find any. You might enjoy the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency books on tape. Lisette Lecat is the narrator, and she brings these terrific Cozies to life.
sandra says
There are so many authors in the Tales from the Grace Chapels Inn series, that I know I have read some out of order. Please send me a list of titles & authors to look for in my libraries. Thank you very much.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Sandra, here is the list of the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series. Just click on this highlighted link. Also, if you’re interested in more books by Guideposts, this page on my site has a lot of their series highlighted. All you have to do is click on the links and they will take you to the appropriate pages on my site. Guideposts Series.
Elise says
I have been reading the Grace Chapel Inn series and I love these books! I also was a little concerned about the books being by different authors but have found they are all really good. I get mine from the library and often have to do an inter library loan, but they are sooo worth the wait.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Elise, thanks for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn shout-out!
