I'm about to buy this books.

Since I'm a Christian myself, I'm interested in other examples of good Christian literature.

Can you guys recommend me some?

Dude I'm not even a Christian but god damn that book is amazing.
I can't think of any other book that brought about such a visceral reaction towards the end, I wish I could forget the book so I could read it all again.
Have you read pilgrim's progress yet?

Nope, but I just did a quick research.

Seems an interesting book, should I buy it?

And thanks, you just hyped more Silence to me

I consider both Les Miserables and The Brothers Karamazov to be heavily influenced by Christianity. If that counts.

Dostoevsky like >>9999605 said

CS Lewis and Tolkien had very heavy influences in their own fiction work

Kierkegaard is breddy gud if you like more heavier, philosophical stuff

You really haven't read Pilgrim's Progress?

If you haven't, you should. And Bunyan's The Holy War.

two books very similar to this, in certain atmospheric and/or thematic elements, are death comes for the archbishop and the sparrow.

Dostoevski wasn't Christian.

This, The Power and the Glory and The End of the Affair.

Also the works of Sigrid Undset, especially The Master of Hestviken

Death Comes for the Archbishop is fantastic, but I saw less of a Christian message than purely a life well lived.

Also Laurus, hope it becomes Meta for christian reading.
