Christians Can Enjoy THESE Fantasy AND Sci-Fi Selections Without Feeling Guilty!
Description
As Christians, we don’t have to be afraid of books that don’t match our faith.
But sometimes? It’s really nice to read stories we can enjoy without compromise.
After the huge response to my recent episode on SFF Books That Don’t Hate Christianity, you all flooded the comments with recommendations. So today I’m back with FIVE ranked sections of Christian-friendly fantasy and sci-fi — from lesser-known gems to major Christian SFF staples, to surprising TBR discoveries… and even a few big-name titles I’m honestly embarrassed I didn’t mention last time.
From The Wingfeather Saga and Ted Dekker’s Circle Series, to A Canticle for Leibowitz, The Holy War, The Dresden Files, and many more — this list spans centuries, genres, and styles.
Whether you’re looking for explicitly Christian fiction or stories that simply take faith, morality, and redemption seriously, there’s something here for you.
We love all kinds of SFF here at Fantasy for the Ages. But today’s episode is about the ones where you don’t have to tilt your head at 30% to find the beauty.
👇 Let me know in the comments:

What did I miss?
