Christian Fantasy Book Recs! ✨🍋🍋

Here are five of my all time favorite Christian fantasy books! One of them is a bonus rec because I wrote it myself 😜 guess which one it is??

What is Christian fantasy?

It is a fantasy story written from a Christian perspective. Think of Christian characters fighting giants to protect their land—like King David. Or a Christian superhero fighting with powers that God gave him—like Samson who had super strength.

Is Christian fantasy evil?

Readers often have concerns about witchcraft in fantasy. The point of Christian fantasy is to write without using that element. God didn’t need witchcraft to give Samson super strength and He doesn’t need it to empower the characters in these novels either. HIS power is enough.

*IF* there are any witches or sorcery in these books they are used by the villains of the story and are defeated using the power of God. In fact, witches, demons, and other evil forces are typically the “bad guys” in Christian fantasy as a demonstration to readers that the Name of Jesus is greater than these demonic forces.

Is it bad to read Christian fantasy?

No. Christian fantasy is a fictional story that spotlights the power of God. If Elijah can call fire from Heaven in the Name of the Lord, then so can our Christian characters when faced with evil. We call this a ‘fantasy’ not because God is a fantasy but because our books are! They are fictional stories that highlight a fantastic God.

If you are going to read fantasy at all, at least read one that openly glorifies the Name of Jesus.

But fantasy isn’t in the Bible!

That’s why this is called FICTION! It’s a made-up story inspired by the awesome power of God.

If you don’t like fantasy—great! These aren’t for you then! They are for readers who are looking for alternatives to what is available in the secular market. If you have an open mind, you can enjoy Christian fantasy whether you follow the Faith or not. Check these out and let me know what you think in the comments 😆

... Read moreI love chatting about Christian fantasy because it’s a genre that truly speaks to my soul! After sharing my top picks, I wanted to dive a little deeper into why these stories resonate so much and how you can find even more incredible reads. One of the main reasons I'm drawn to Christian fantasy is the focus on strong morals and uplifting themes. Unlike some secular fantasy that might delve into darker, more ambiguous territory, these books consistently highlight good versus evil through a biblical lens. You'll find characters grappling with faith, sacrifice, and redemption, often reflecting spiritual truths in imaginative ways. It’s not just about a good story; it’s about a story that builds you up. For those searching for "christian young adult fantasy books with strong morals" or "christian fantasy books for adults," you'll discover a rich landscape where heroic journeys are intertwined with spiritual growth. When looking for new reads, I always check christian book reviews for adults or specific "christian fantasy" blogs. It helps to see what other readers are saying, especially regarding how authors handle complex themes. The beauty of this genre is its diversity. You'll encounter everything from epic high fantasy reminiscent of classic tales to more contemporary settings, and yes, even stories with elements that could be described as biblical mythological science-fiction! Authors are constantly pushing boundaries, exploring what it means to live out faith in worlds both familiar and fantastical. For example, I've seen books that delve into deep spiritual warfare, much like what you might find in a title exploring a battle against darkness. Imagine the themes in a book like 'where darkness dwells' or 'TERRA'S FALL' where characters face overwhelming odds, but their strength comes from a divine source. And if you're into unique settings, a concept like 'Cross Academy' could offer a fascinating blend of faith and learning in a fantastical environment. There are also captivating adventures like 'NICK MONTE AND THE ESCAPE FROM THE REALM OF SHADOWS' that prove faith-filled stories can be just as thrilling and suspenseful as any other. Even a mysterious title like 'Bell of the Native' can hint at deep cultural or spiritual journeys. It’s also wonderful to see the growing number of talented authors in this space. While I didn't list specific names in my initial recs, many "best selling female christian authors fiction" and "black christian fiction authors" are contributing incredible works, broadening the perspectives and stories available. This ensures that everyone can find a voice that resonates with them within Christian fantasy. If you're eager to explore beyond a traditional fantasy setup, don't overlook new christian books that might blend genres. Sometimes, what starts as a historical fantasy can lean into mythological elements, or a contemporary story might suddenly introduce fantastical powers. And for those who enjoy visual storytelling, keep an eye out for "christian fantasy movies" that are starting to emerge, bringing these beloved stories to the screen. Ultimately, whether you're searching for "good christian fantasy books" for your tween, "christian ya fantasy books" for a teen, or just general "christian fantasy novels" to escape into, there's a whole world waiting. It's about finding stories that entertain, inspire, and reinforce the powerful message that God's strength is always enough.
