For all those interested in some good Christian fiction I recommend Ted Dekker. I grew up very religious (though I’m not anymore), but Dekker was one of the few authors I enjoyed reading and still enjoy reading. His books aren’t necessarily “Christian Literature,” but many times they have an undertone or act as a metaphor. He’s very modern and very weird, which makes it all the more experimental. I continue to read him even as my faith has shifted. Having read almost every notable Christian author, I’d say Dekker is the only modern author that doesn’t hide behind cliches, is still inventive, and has true genuineness in his references. I also enjoy Frank Paretti. Warning both are along the thriller/horror side but Dekker also has dark fantasy.
