Sci-Fi and Fantasy classics by Christian authors > Likes and Comments

From the moment I started reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle in grade school, I completely identified with Meg. Like her, I felt strongly protective toward my younger brothers and didn't entirely understand my parents. As for strange, lovable, old people, we had those in our family too.
Many decades later I can still remember Mrs. Who illustrating a tesseract, and the absolute astonishment and chills I felt when I learned what "It" was.
This was my first science fiction book, and it changed my life. I would read so many science fiction books by the time I was in my 20s, that I'd be asked to help edit a science fiction magazine. But rarely did any of those books inspire the feelings of courage, wonder, and powerful love that this one did.
Only decades later did I finally realize why: L'Engle, I discovered, was a Christian, and her faith infused her writing and shone through her words. Forget the Disney movie version and give this book to your favorite middle grader instead.

The Chronicles of Narnia. Also the Lord of the Rings books. It's interesting to think that CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were friends. I can imagine the conversations!
