My favorite genre is Christian Fantasy and would love to hear some recommendations. I love epic fantasy with great characters and world building.

That is one of mine too! I do know of a site where you can read unpublished stories. They have quite a few good stories within this genre. Let me know what you think.

Christian fantasy is like normal fantasy but it contains Christian principles. One excellent example of the is The Chronicles of Narnia.

Have you read any of Francine Rivers' books, I don't think they would be considered fantasy, but they are amazing.

I highly recommend The Heaven Trilogy by Ted Dekker, anything by author Frank Perretti, The Sword of Lyric series by Sharon Hinck, and The City of God Trilogy by R. S. Ingermanson.

Any of of these are great starting points for fantasy Christian Fiction!

Francine Rivers has a gift for writing. The way she writes her stories are just phenomenal. I loved her Lineage of Grace stories. I'm currently reading Redeeming Love, and I am in love! The funny thing is, I used to be a christian, and yet, I have no problem with her stories. To be honest, she's actually one of my favorite authors. In my most humble opinion, I believe you don't need to be a christian to enjoy her books (but if you are a christian, it's just an added bonus). They are that good!

I loved Redeeming love, couldn't put it down.

I'm borrowing the book from my sister, and to be honest, I kind of want to "permanently borrow" it. xD
In the end, I'm just going to end up buying my own copy (or buy her a new copy :lol2: )

I strongly recommend anything by Anne Elisabeth Stengl. She has all the qualities you listed, and is a master wordsmith as well.
