Looking for some books...

[[deleted user]]

Hey! I'm looking for some good fantasy novels that have Christian morals. They don't have to be explicitly Christian, though; somewhere along the lines of Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia.

Anybody know of any? :) Thanks! God bless!

I'm currently reading the 'Binding Of The Blade' series by L. B Graham. It is excellent. Also my wife highly recommends 'Gideon's Dawn' Michael D. Warden. Please visit flannelgraph.blogspot.com for some of our Christian fiction reviews. God bless!

Here are a few that I've enjoyed. The first three are a triology by Ted Dekker but I'm not sure which one is first. 1. Black 2. Red 3. White

Another one that I thought was really good was Ice by Shane Johnson

I finished the last in the series in Jan 09. Do you want me to tell you how it ended. LOL :-)

I'm reading Teen Fiction for my work and suggest these interesting, solid fantasy authors: Patrick Carman (Land of Elyon - Christian allegory), Terry Pratchett (Wee Free Men series - good morals), Rick Riordan (Lightning Thief series - mythology) and Brandon Mull (Fablehaven series - family values.) Hope that helps.

I invite you to take a look at Iman's Isle - A Tale of Lost Treasues.

I also enjoyed Dekker's Circle Trilogy (Black / Red / White).

Just posted this on Anne's thread, but it works here too:

Of the Christian fantasy books I've read in the past year, some of my favourites are Auralia's Colors and Cyndere's Midnight by Jeffrey Overstreet (the third book in the series is coming out in February -- Me = Really Excited!). In fact, I nominated Cyndere's Midnight for the Clive Staples Award, a new award for Christian spec fic.

I also really enjoyed George Bryan Polivka's Blaggard's Moon, a pirate fantasy.

And if you're interested, I write Christian fantasy as well. Worlds Unseen and Burning Light are the first two books in my Seventh World Trilogy. (Working on the third.) You can download a free copy of Worlds Unseen from http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/boo...

Check out the bookshelf. :)

I don't mean to boast, but please consider checking out my published works on my Goodreads page! They are all Christian/fantasy, reflecting good Christian morals as well as containing Amiel, and allegorical God like Aslan in Narnia.

By Darkness Hid is a good one. Won the Clive Award. There's a follow up book which I haven't read yet, Into Darkness Fled, or something like that. You'll see it on Amazon if you find the first.

I've also written a couple that would fall into the parameters you're looking for. Infinite Realities, a novella about a teen who is called to "be his brother's keeper" via ability to do miracles. And there's a full novel sequel to that, Transforming Realities. Info at my site.

I'd love for you to consider my debut novel: Shadows: Book of Aleth, Part One. It might just meet your needs. :)

I have a short story available as an e-book on Amazon or
Barnes and Noble. an end times story, only 99 cents.

I'm a great Ted Dekker fan. My two all-time favourites of his are Blink (soon to be made into a movie), and Blessed Child (with Bill Bright). A more recent one that I really like is The Bride Collector. It's not for the ultra-squeamish, but has a strong, clear Christian message.

Hope you've found some good stuff by now!
