I have been writing for more than a decade specifically in fantasy. My mind was filled with tales of magic, heroes, and mythical creatures for decades. When Christ called me it was like learning how to fit my creativity and imagination into this box. Except, He is the box from which all creativity comes. As for my expertise concerning the Word of God, I have studied the Bible from beginning to end and I have prepared and preached a number of sermons. I will one day be a full-fledged pastor, and writing is a part of the job. I have a unique blend of fantasy and Christ.

Jonathan makes me want to be friends with both him and his characters.
I found in Dawn of Wonder a truly unique world that challenges me to write better. I have struggled to find the desire to read, but his work awoke a certain hunger in me that I haven't felt in quite a while.
Most importantly for me is the clear presence of Christ.
I highly recommend his lush creation. It is great fantasy fare made better by the recognition of his own Creator.

As children we are taught to not judge a book by its cover and Andrew taught me to not judge a book by its title either.
The perfectionist in me thought the title foolish and roundabout. Andrew disabused me and I am thankful for it.
I had the pleasure of hearing the audio version and it blew me away with its depth, creativity, and humour. I described it to my wife as if Lord of the Rings had been written by Dr. Seuss.
There is a certain musicality to his prose and to my delight I found he is also a musician. I don't say this lightly - this is a must-read!

For many years I thought that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first entry in the Chronicles of Narnia so imagine my surprise (and delight) when I found the entire seven book series at a second hand store.
I want to read more of his work as Lewis is a wonderful example of someone who works for Christ.
In particular there is a scene where the Lion is singing creation into existence and Lewis's description is beautiful.
It's included here as a recognition to the open door that he left for us fantasy freaks.
