Tales Of The Resistance, by Mains is an excellent book. Though it's a children's book it is very deep, just like the Narnia series. I would say that it actually is deeper because it's set up as a children's book. It tells truths of Christianity, but it avoids the blatantly obvious paths of most Christian children's books. I would highly suggest finding and cherishing this book. You can buy it on Amazon on this link:

By the end of it, I was actually brought to tears. At age 15. It was that good. One of the truths brought to light by this book is an amazing example of how the weakness of God is stronger then the strength of the world. In a certain scene the King, dressed as an ordinary man, has a face-off with the wizard. The wizard has robes and a crown and sends walls of flames at the King. The King doesn't react or counter attack at all. The main character wonders why the King doesn't strike back. But the fact that the King doesn't attack is the very thing that proves his strength. Even at his weakest moment, he is stronger then everything that the wizard can do. Even when Christ died, he was stronger then the Devil at the hight of his power. And the scene with Thespia is so amazing, and so true; .."because when one has found one's real love it is easy to leave what has only been pretend." Buy it. Shipping is cheap.
