I have just discovered Frank Peretti's books and I'm eating them up!  Do you know any other authors with a style like this?

i dont know about Frank Peretti but if your looking for the quintessential Christian fantasy you have to start with the Chronicles of Narnia.

I have a couple things on my shelf you might enjoy - Abaddon by Bob Larson and The Oath by Frank Peretti.  Also have a lot of the Left Behind series if you are interested in those.

There is a book titled The Lure.  It is a futuristic storyline.  Can't recall the author.  Good luck!

Karen Hancock writes some neat fantasy. I loved her book Arena.

I think the  most similar author to Peretti is Ted Dekker.

Donita K. Paul writes Christian fantasy.

Wayne Thomas Batson and R.K. Mortenson both have out Christian fantasy YA series.

Check out this link for more titles, it's the most comprehensive listing of Christian fantasy/sci-fi I've come across.

Sharon Hinck's The Restorer series is really good...sort of Mom-lit fantasy.

Also Lisa T. Bergren's Gifted series- The Begotten and the Betrayed

I just posted Wormwood on my bookshelf and it is similar in style.  Peretti is definitely the best, I just love his stuff - especially This Present Darkness and Piercing The Darkness.  The Dragon series by Donita Paul is supposed to be excellent as well.  I have it wishlisted :-)

I second Ted Dekker. His Circle trilogy was amazing!

There's a series that's really good - all I can remember is the first book is "Firebird."  There's also another series, again, one of the books is "DragonKnight"  Sorry, I'm terrible with authors. :P

I agree with the people who said read Donita K. Paul's Dragonkeepers Chronicles.  I have heard of many of th eothers but never read them, so I can't help you there.  Also try L. B. Graham's Binding of the Blade series.  These are great.
