What are some really great Christian fiction books?
I have read all of the books by Lynn Austin and Tracy Peterson. I like the Amish books, but I’m kind of tired of them. There are so many. So does anyone have any suggestions of great books in this genre? Thanks for the help in advance! 
I also like fantasy type novels, so it would be great if the two were combined, but that is asking a lot!
I have read all of the Chronicles of Narnia as well And the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the Hobbit

Books by karen Kingsbury are known to be good. I read one of them and it was great. There is the Hangman Series that is christian based. and of course, the chronicles of Narnia.

The only Christian themed books that I have read are the “Catholic novels” of Graham Greene. Check out The Heart of the Matter or The End of the Affair. Greene plays off the Catholic stereotypes of guilt, fear, and suffering. Great stuff.

Chronicles of Narnia
(Magic the Gathering) Legends Cycle Two by Scott McGough
(Note: I’m only recomending that specific trilogy. The second book is called Emperor’s Fist.)

I’m a Christian romance novelist, so I could give you a long list of authors and books. But instead of doing that, I’d like to point you to an EXCELLENT blog that reviews Christian fiction and interviews authors:
You should find lots of good reading suggestions over there.

C. S. Lewis’s the chronicles of Narnia would be good candidates.
J. R. R. Tolkien’s the hobbit and the lord of the rings trilogy are Christian books. Indeed, Tolkien was one of the reason’s behind Lewis’s conversion to Christianity.
You could also put pilgrims progress in there, by Jonathan Bunyan. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel De Foe would be considered a Christian children’s book also. Don’t just take my word for it. Read them all and you will see the overtones in there.
I hope some of these suggestions are helpful to you.

I think Ted Dekker is a great author. He’s a Christian Suspense type author. If you’re looking for a fantasy type, try the Black, Red and White books. They have to do with a man who whenever he falls asleep in one world he wakes up in another and he’s fighting evil in both worlds. All of his recent books are great (I haven’t read all of his earlier ones). Frank Peretti is also a good author and I’ve recently started reading fiction by Randy Alcorn. Good luck. Hope I helped

Black - Ted Dekker
An incredibly original plotline, a large portion if which is intertwined with fantasy elements. A very good read.
I’m currently working through Red, the sequel.
I’m not sure if it’s quite what you’re looking for, but I highly suggest you give it a shot.
