Christian Fiction

[adpi*violet]

I found a new series recently in the somewhat new genre of Christian Fantasy.
Donita K. Paul is the author and all the books are Dragon-(whatever). Dragonspell, Dragonquest, Dragonknight and Dragonfire. The 5th book is coming out this month, but you have the first 4 to read to catch up. While not blatantly obvious Christian, as in "And then today I went to church," there is definitely the themes. I would say it is similar to the Narnia chronicles. Very appropriate for both children and adults.

I've read the Left Behind series, and liked it. The Thoene (Brock & Bodie) books on WWII and the founding of Israel are also good.

Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis both write amazing books about the Amish/Mennonite cultures, and they intrigue me, too. Guess it's because I've seen so many around, and knew some Mennonites well.

I knew someone would get to this before me. I've read all 12 books in the original series and finished each one within 2-3 days. I haven't read the 3-book series, but would like to. Plus, I know there's a Left Behind teen series that I've heard good things about.

Stephanie Perry Moore is an awesome Christian fic author. I read both the Payton Skky and Laurel Shadrach series and now there's a series for teen boys. She's also written a couple novels for adults--I just ordered "Flame" and I'll let you know if it's good.
