In the wave of Post-Tolkien and Post-Lewis and Post-L'Engle kinda-Christian fantasy, many books were written to tap into the "inspirational fantasy with a message" vein. The Singer Trilogy by Calvin Miller is one such example.

The Finale, aptly named, is the last book in this trilogy. It retells Revelation, as well as coming to Jesus through lyrical prose/poetry, and illustrations.

I was not super-thrilled with this book, but I've heard that people who go ga-ga for Christian Fantasy really like it. The drawings were all right, but when they were used over and over again, like clip art, it got a bit annoying. Likewise, the poetic prose, while meant to be inspirational, seemed a weak vehicle on which to transmit a story.

Miller, who's probably more known as a reader than a writer, critically analyzing other fantasy books written by/for Christians, missed the nail with this one, I feel.

But that's just me. You may enjoy it. ( )
