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.

Part II | Stated Faith Novels
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.
