What are some really good Christian fantasy books?

admin — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:38:00 +0000

I love Christian fantasy and seeing the truths and lessons I can get out of it. I’ve read the Chronicles of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings, the Dragon Keeper Series (by Donita K. Paul), Auralia’s Colors, the Door Within Trilogy, and Dragons in our Midst. I was wondering if anybody out there knows of any more good Christian fantasy books for older teens. And please don’t write anything mean please, anybody. Thank you!

First, to the person who stated Lord of the Rings is not Christian, you are mistaken. In fact, Tolkien repeatedly identified Christian themes in Lord of the Rings. For example, in a letter, Tolkien made the following statement: “The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work, unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision…the religious element is absorbed into the story and symbolism.” Far from making a stupid assumption, Kittycat was actually coming into agreement with the author’s own perspective of his work.

Now, on to the original question. Kittycat, here are some additional Christian fantasy suggestions for you. I will list authors, rather than titles, because many of these writers have multiple books released.

Stephen Lawhead
LB Graham
RJ Anderson
Anne Elizabeth Stengl
ND Wilson

I also blog on Christian fantasy at http://www.sarahsawyer.com/blog and at the beginning of each month post new releases in the genre.

Best Christian books you can recommend for physically ill people?

admin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:56:00 +0000

Is there any christian book you can recommend to me. I’m hoping to give it as a gift for my friend’s birthday and, as an encouragement too so she won’t lose hope on her treatment. She is physically Ill right now and undergoing dialysis. I particularly love Harold Sala but I have no idea which of one of his books should I choose for her. Thanks in advance. God bless everyone…=)

I guess that depends on whether you want to just comfort her in her illness or get her healed by the power of God.
If you are seeking the latter, I would recommend anything by Kenneth E. Hagin.

What are some good christian books?

admin — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 01:10:06 +0000

You see lately i have been reading a Series that’s about these 3 friends and well each girl has their own series and im almost done every single one and i don’t know any other good books that are good for teenage christian girls. is their any good books that I might like?

"Left Behind" is a good one, if you wanna read about what happens when the Antichrist comes. I’ve read the children’s series of it, but not the adult ones yet (I plan to this summer).

Don’t limit yourself to Christian books, either. There are many out there, and please don’t be a prude that thinks just because it has to do with vampires or witches it’s demonizing readers Some of them actually have Biblical themes, and therefore can be considered Christian books, like Harry Potter. I also recommend Sherlock Holmes, if you like mystery aspects.

And I just saw it on my nightstand: Another Faust by Daniel and Dina Nayeri. It’s about these kids selling their soul to the devil to get what they want. I’m almost finished with it, and I definitely think that’s a great story to read. A couple of times they mention the Seven Deadly Sins…I don’t really think any of them realizes they’re, like, a billboard for one of the Sins.

OH OH OH. And The Chronicles of Narnia. Written by a Christian for Christians, my dad likes to say. I would recommend His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman (as I think they’re entertaining books), but my dad likes to call that one the "series written by an Atheist" because he kills a character called God. … BUT IT IS GOOD.

Hope I’ve helped, if only a little bit :3

looking for Christian books on sex in marriage?

admin — Sat, 28 May 2011 14:09:54 +0000

I’ve been married for 5 years. when we first got married sex was good and frequent. now, its once every month or two and it sucks. im looking for anything that will help but it must have Christian influence books for me,her or both of us… ANYTHING!

have you heard of "Fireproof" or "the love challenge?" Those are both excellent tools/movies/books to get you through these times. One of the most amazing things about "the love challenge" is that is asks for each couple to find something nice to say or do for the other EVERY single day. It forces you not to focus on the negative but to put the light back on the good. It also reminds you that God must be in your marriage if you want it to survive and sustain. Check with Nest Entertainment, they have a bunch of wonderful books.
