"A good novel has the potential to reveal more about God than a hundred sermons on theology. That's probably why Jesus spoke so frequently in parables. These brief stories had the ability to take complex spiritual truths and break them down into a message audiences could understand. How does one describe God's restless pursuit of humanity? Why not compare it to a lost sheep (Luke 15:1-7), a shepherd would certainly know that feeling. And what about the Kingdom of Heaven? Why, it's a pearl of unimaginable value (Matthew 13:45-46).
The following books may not have the brevity of Christ's parables, but they��re all built on the same ideal. Each one looks at subjects of faith, suffering, hope, belief, and helps the reader see them from a different point of view. Not to mention they take their reader on fascinating journeys beyond imagination. If you're a Christian looking to expand your theology, here are 10 novels you'll want to keep on your shelf."
