Hi. Can anyone recommend some good Christian authors and novels? Or even if not overtly Christian, just clean and well-written novels written by intelligent people? I really don't enjoy the romance-type books where everything wraps up perfectly at the end. I'm looking for realistic stories.
Thank you in advance.
If you’ve not read CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy, I would highly recommend it.
The Bible................................
anything from Joel Rosenberg. He’s a Messianic Jew that writes geo political thrillers with the Bible woven in. All very good and exciting.
I’d start with C.S Lewis, Chesterton and Tolkein, if you haven’t done them already
Frank Peretti is terrific, until you’ve read about 4-5 of his books when they kind of get formulaic.
I second Frank Perretti and would add Ted Dekker. Dekker can be a little dark.
I like Peretti’s stuff. I wish there was more like him
That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis is pertinent to today’s world. It is the last book of his Space Trilogy.
what Dekker book(s) do you like most?
Stephen R. Donaldson.
If you’ve not read CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy, I would highly recommend it.

I would add... ANYTHING by C.S. Lewis.
J. Warner Wallace, Amir Tsarfati, N. T. Wright and Grace Livingston Hill (romance. Historical)
Thanks everybody. I have read the Bible, a lot of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. I will definitely look into the others. Have a great day.
If you like crime novels, the Bosch series from Michael Connelly is excellent. While it deals with some of the seedier aspects of being a cop in Los Angeles, Bosch is ruthless in pursuit of bringing justice to the victims.
Bosch, the series, was excellent.
The Boneman’s Daughters was a good one. House, which he co-wrote with Peretti. The Black, Red, White trilogy if you don’t mind Fantasy.
