Title: Sci-Fi/Fantatsy readers? Post by: prayerpower on July 20, 2006, 03:38:36 PM Are there?
Of course, I LOVE EM Bounds, Fritz Ridenhour (sp?), Jerry Bridges, and Lucado (etc...) But, as a new & used books bookstore owner.... we have lots of Sci-Fi/Fantasty readers so I've picked up reading quite a few. Just finished "The Last Mortal Man" by Syne Mitchell & Ender's Game by Orson S. Card - GOOD sci-fi books. But I like Terry Goodkind, Terry Brooks, Ted Dekker, Sara Douglass and Barbara Hambley. Anyone else? Title: Re: Sci-Fi/Fantatsy readers? Post by: Brother Jerry on July 20, 2006, 05:45:40 PM I enjoy a good fantasy book every now and then as well. Salvatory, Adams, Brust, and more.
I spend more time in my Bible and study material both spiritual and professional than anything else but when I just want to kick back and relax. It is fantasy/action/suspense/thriller type of things. :) Welcome to the boards. Sincerely Brother Jerry Title: Re: Sci-Fi/Fantatsy readers? Post by: Soldier4Christ on July 20, 2006, 06:47:24 PM I like science fiction sometimes. I don't get into it much though as I usually have something more important to do. It's the technology part of them that intrigues me. I don't like all the weird ones with evil monsters nor the ones that either mock God or emphasize false Gods.

Though I spend far more time with the Bible, then any other book. Title: Re: Sci-Fi/Fantatsy readers? Post by: smokey the dog on August 01, 2006, 05:07:40 AM I grew up on sci-fi. I read all the classics by Heinlien, Andre Norton, Asimov. After I became a Christian I have tried to find some Christian sci-fi authors. There are some out there!
Chris Walley has a series called "the Lamb among the stars" I've read the first two books, The Shadow at Evening, and The Power of the Night and they were great! He's got two more due out in October. I found Arena By: Karen Hancock to be a good read too. |
