Good christian science fiction or fantasy story?

Arent Terry Pratchet books meant to be quite good?

Terry Pratchett novels are fabulous fantasy/ sci-fi/ humour, but not what you are looking for.

You haven't lived until you've read 'Til We have Faces' by C.S. Lewis. It's really a masterpiece of fantasy and, incidentally, Lewis' favorite among all his works.

Thanks. But I like something that is like wheel of time, but that is more christian-based and related. Wheel of time is too near the dark sides for me. I prefer a more harmless, christian-centred fantasy novels, which had a hero, an adventure and many books, along with complex story lines. But it is, otherwise, quite clean.

Check out the work of Lars Walker, who is a Christian.

Tad Williams' stuff is also very good; I doubt he's a Christian, but there isn't a lot of sex stuff in his work, as I recall.

I had read on "Plugged-in Online" that "Children of Men" is decidedly not "christian". The review can be found on their site. Let me know what you think.

The book itself has many Christian themes; the movie co-opted the themes but is (as I understand it) a FAR cry from the book.

I looked up "fantasy" as a genre on the Blessings online store. Blessings is a Christian book organization so the books on this list should be just what you are looking for.

Oooh, that sounds interesting! Must put it on my book list. (Hi gracepaints, have met you in another forum )

Frank Peretti is an excellent Christian authour, I'm not sure if his books class as fantasy though.

A book I read ages ago - I don't know how easy it would be to track down now - was Pennterra, by an author called Judith Moffett (more info here). No idea if Judith's a Christian or not, but the story is about a group of Quakers colonising another planet. I read it before I became a Christian, but found what it had to say about Quaker beliefs interesting and attractive (to the extent that I considered becoming a Quaker on the strength of it).

Madelien L'Engle's stuff is good.

Earthensong: The Augur Sagas: The Prophet's Key is going to be awesome when it comes out. It's projected to come out late-fall, early-winter, late-winter. lol.

Check out the Prologue on Blanchweald Press' website, at

Oh, by the way, I'm the author, and the publisher.
