This Christian devotional book looks at some of the most well-loved stories in modern Sci-Fi and Fantasy series and also at some by upcoming SFF authors. In looking at characters, stories, and plots we can see many parallels to Scripture, morals and principles, and biblical characters. In telling stories that grapple with those concepts and topics we discover more and deeper truths about ourselves and about how we understand our faith.
