  Christian world view?
  
  I'd love to nominate Book of a Thousand Days, by Shannon Hale. The book certainly isn't anti-Christian. It's moral. Hale is a Mormon, but much of what she writes does feel like it's coming from a Christian world view. There's no tip off that I could see in her fiction that she's Mormon and not Christian.
  
  What about the last Harry Potter book? Deathly Hallows? It's pretty blatantly Christian in its world view. It doesn't need to win an award, I'm sure. People are already aware of it. But still... it was a great book and it has a Christian world view.

  xdpaul, you can nominate as many books as you would like. I'll add Flashpoint to the list.
  
  Sally, if the Mormon worldview looks moral, that still doesn't make it Christian. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, however, is Christian, as much so as Lord of the Rings, so I can only guess there will be some discussion about this. I'll run it by the rest of the committee who volunteered to help with this.

  Then I'll nominate Demon: A Memoir by Tosca Lee. While I like the idea of highlighting overlooked works, it would be a real shame if this relatively well-known, but groundbreaking, outstanding work wasn't considered.

  Great to have this wonderful participation. You can see the updated list of nominations in alphabetical order over at A Christian Worldview of Fiction.
  
  Melissa, I checked into Cold Tree Press, and it doesn't appear they are a royalty paying publisher. They refer to being a "hybrid," but at this time, it's my understanding Geralyn's book would be eligible for a self-publishing award as opposed to a royalty-paying publisher award. That's why Time Masters doesn't appear on the list.

  I would like to nominate The Restorer's Son by Sharon Hinck. This is an amazing book that shows us the power of God's Word against the spirits of darkness. Sharon weaves a wonderful adventure in a new world and she brings God right along with it!

  I would like to nominate "A Wine Red Silence" by George L. Duncan.
  
  I was on vacation in the Florida Keys and could NOT put that book down! I spent most of my time with my nose in the book rather than spending time with the friends I went to visit!
  
  Duncan suspensefully captivates you from the start and teases you just enough to drive you to the end. He cleverly weaves the good with the evil and has you rooting out loud for the good guys, and my heart was pounding all the way to the end!
  
  I'm THRILLED to see that his new book, "A Dark Orange Farewell" is out now....I can't wait for it to be delivered! Watch out for this new author, he's a name we're going to see a lot of!
