| Book Recommendations For Writing Faith In Fiction (part II of Writing Faith In Fiction) |
Hello friend! Welcome to the Faith, Writing & Coffee Chats podcast!
Are you looking for books that feature well written faith? Do you want to see book examples of allegory (picture) based faith stories and character based stories where the faith affects the characters in a meaningful way? If so, then today’s podcast topic will be perfect for you!
We are building on last week's episode where we answered the question: how to write faith into your story in three simple repeatable steps for all genres.
Today’s episode takes that question just a bit further by giving EXAMPLES of well written faith in BOOKS! You don’t want to miss this episode!
I truly pray this podcast can be a blessing to you!
So grab a cup of coffee and listen to this fun rambly episode where I share about some of my favorite faith filled stories all by Christian storytellers!
Part I | Allegory Novels
Books where they tell a story of faith. They use pictures and imagery to show faith. Typically these are fantasy books (as all my recommendations for this part are fantasy). These types of books typically hide their faith message—it’s something to be found.
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
How Aslan, the noble lion, freed Narnia from the spell of the White Witch.
Books where the faith is a part of the character’s lives and is an integral part of the over all journey of the book. The faith aspect is important to the main character and is a big part of their journey more than just a plot device or imagery.

After inheriting his title from his brother, the Margrave has two weeks to find a noble bride. What will happen when he learns he has fallen for a lovely servant girl in disguise?
Grief brought Finley to Ireland. Love will lead her home.

She decides to study abroad in Ireland so she can follow Will's travel journal. It's the place he felt closest to God, and she's hopeful being there will help her make peace over losing him. So she agrees to an exchange program and boards the plane.
