The Arts & Discernment
Worlds Beyond & Beyond the Cover
Science fiction and fantasy can be a difficult genre to navigate, especially for Christians. So at home school conferences, I often encounter parents who don’t know where to find books for their kids. In Worlds Beyond, I’ve collected over 500 titles on the Christian speculative market and separated them (when possible) by recommendation. ($15) Beyond the Cover is a collection of my reviews of over 150 science fiction and fantasy novels, analyzing both the craft and the content of each book. ($30)
