Even More . . .

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

         Like I said in an earlier post, I looked for sites that reviewed fantasy from a Christian perspective. Last year I found none. This year, though, I’ve found several.

         Guide to Christian Fantasy has a wealth of information. I have not read everything on the GCF, but what I have read is impressive. There are thoughtful essays on types of magic in fantasy, the value of fantasy to a Christian and reviews of many, many books. I’m intrigued by the ranking system. Each book is judged for literary quality, Christian morality and age appropriateness. It appears as though the owner is no longer adding to the site, but there is plenty to read and peruse. I found several books and authors I’ve not read among the list of reviews.

         Another site, recommended by CGF is Refracted Light. This site has many authors and books reviewed. Books on this site are judged, using a common A-F grading system, based on morality and writing.

         I’m pleased there are other Christians on the Web reviewing fantasy. There are stories written that will uplift and encourage, that will illustrate truth and dispel deception, that will fire the imagination and ignite a passion for all that is best. Together we will find them. And together we will share them with you.
