The Lamb Among the Stars is a three book Christian sci-fi series that takes place in the distant future.

For ten thousand years the human race has expanded and lived in peace. It started with a great revival that ushered in a golden age of Christianity, and the symbolic millennium has proven to be at least 10 times longer than a mere thousand years.

On the most distant human planet Farholme, though, subtle changes are taking place. Even though it is known from history how evil influences people, they are ill prepared for a spiritual shadow that has fallen over them.

Book 1, Shadow and Night tells this story.

In Book 2, The Dark Foundations the storm clouds gather as both physical and spiritual enemies prepare an attack on the isolated Farholme. Not only are there physical battles to be fought, there are spiritual conflicts as well. The unseen is revealed as battles rage.

The final book of the series is The Infinite Day. The battle of the ages is drawing near and there is failure from unexpected sources. Humanity hangs in the balance.

For those interested in Christian fiction, these are among the very best. I haven't yet finished the 3rd book, as it is newly released, but if the first 2 are any indication, I'm in for a wonderful ride!!

I would be interested in hearing what others think after reading these books.

Larry, have you visited Chris Walley's "Farholm" blog yet? You might enjoy it. http://chriswalley.blogspot.com/

I posted the same review on my blog and within 3 hours Chris had posted a comment. He could easily show up on NazNet at some point.

I finished The Infinite Day today and really enjoyed the series. It was easy to follow the character development in all three books. I would highly recommend them. I did not know that there was a blog, I will check it out.

Walley's vision of a world without the influence of evil was my favorite part of the whole series, and that's the focus of the entire first book. The people weren't ignorant of evil, but they had no practical knowledge.

There's a scene in which Merrel's grandmother is in extended care and has hung on longer than expected. The doctor is confused because he's never had a person obviously at the end of life fight to hang on and now he has several people at that stage. Merrel's grandmother confesses to him that, while she can't really explain it, she's afraid to die.

I thought that was very insightful.
