What's some good Christian themed fiction, or non-fiction? I'm not sure what I have in mind but I want something .......neat and original I dunno. Injustice don't like horror books or anything like that. Anyone got anything in mind for my rather vague question?

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
The "Space Trilogy," especially That Hideous Strength, by C. S. Lewis

I understand some of Graham Greene's novels have Christian themes, though I've not read them.

You might also like some of Flannery O'Connor's short stories. I dissent from conventional wisdom as I do not find anything remotely Christian about her novel Wise Blood.
