I got done with chronicals of narnia and loved it so if theres any thing like that write it down or what ever
thanx
god blessAny good Christan or sort of christian book series?
i havent read it, but you should try the 'fall of lucifer' by Wendy Alec. You can check it out in the Godshop.com. There is also a book named 'The Penny' Author Joyce Meyer, on her own life.
Godbless...
I haven't actually read them yet, but the Left Behind series is supposed to be really good. They're based on the book of Revelation and what happens to the people who, well, get left behind.
Ted Dekker has a series called "The Lost Books" which are kind of action/adventure and Christian based. You can read a little about that at

Those are the only series that I'm aware of that are more in line with the Narnia books. A lot of Christian book series seem to otherwise skew more towards church-lady types in that they're romancy in a Christian way. I hope this was at least a little helpful.Any good Christan or sort of christian book series?
There is the Left Behind series which also has a teen series. You can also visit your local Christian bookstore for ideas then borrow them from your library. Another good resource is to look up the Narnia books on Amazon.com and see what other people purchased or recommended.
The Tower of Geburah series by John White. The Dragonspell series by Donita K. Paul.
Not Christian, but good reading: The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander. Loosely based on Welsh mythology.Any good Christan or sort of christian book series?
"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis,
"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D.,
"Hope Rising," Kim Meeder.
Frank Peretti has some really good books and the Screwtape Letters are apparently very good and written by C. S. Lewis
Though it's not specifically a Christian allegory, like The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien is an excellent series with the same battle between good and evil. There's a very great difference between the two forces. Tolkien, himself, was a Christian and a good friend of C.S. Lewis'. They were both influenced by George MacDonald, who was a prolific writer and also a pastor.
George MacDonald wrote some really good fantasy stories like At the Back of the North Wind, Phantastes, Lilith. He also wrote some compilations of short fantasy stories: The Gray Wolf and Other Fantasy Stories, The Golden Key and Other Fantasy Stories, The Light Princes and Other Fairy Tales and The Wise Woman and Other Stories.
Madeleine L'Engle wrote a good fantasy series, too. This series includes: A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters and An Acceptable Time.
I would also recommend some of Frank Peretti's novels like This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, The Oath, The Visitation, Prophet, The Veritas Project books (Hangman's Curse and Nightmare Academy) and The Cooper Kids Adventure series (The Door in the Dragon's Throat, Escape from the Island of Aquarius, The Tombs of Anak, Trapped at the Bottom of the Sea, The Secret of the Desert Stone, The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey, The Legend of Annie Murphy and Mayday at Two Thousand Five Hundred).
You might also enjoy the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The books include: Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days; Tribulation Force: The Continuing Drama of Those Left Behind; Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist; Soul Harvest: The World Takes Sides; Apollyon: The Destroyer Unleashed; Assassins: Jerusalem, Target: Antichrist; The Indwelling: The Beast Takes Possession; The Mark: The Beast Rules the World; The Desecration: Antichrist Takes the Throne; The Remnant; Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages and Glorious Appearing.
Though not Christian novels, Dean Koontz always has a battle between good and evil in his books, too. Some of his have been truly fascinating, excellent stories. I'd recommend The Face, From the Corner of His Eye, The Darkest Evening of the Year, Life Expectancy, the Odd Thomas series and Watchers (among others).
The Last Sin Eater by Francine Rivers is an excellent story.
If you don't mind historical fiction, I'd recommend the various series written by Gilbert Morris. They are excellent stories. I really enjoyed The House of Winslow series which follows this family from the 1600s to modern times. The first book is called Honorable Imposter.
You might also consider reading some of the classics. Depending on which you choose, they usually have timeless themes and good morals. Charles Dickens is a good example. His books like A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist and Our Mutual Friend (among many others) are all excellent. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote some wonderful adventure stories like The Master of Ballantrae, Kidnapped, Treasure Island, The Black Arrow. You may enjoy Sir Walter Scott's books, too, like Ivanhoe, Guy Mannering, Rob Roy. There are many others, too.
I hope this helps.
