Just as a comment...
I really liked Pendragon.  The way the Pendragon cycle ended was
very....depressing.  Pendragon in and of itself does leave a lot of the
detail from the other books out, but standing on its own is a very good
novel.  I'll admit it does get a bit...melodramatic at times, but such is
Stephen Lawhead.  
My Personal FAVORITE Christian author is Sigmund Brower.  His single best
loved work of mine is a book called Magnus-about a dying Christian group
of people who believe that knowledge is the most important weapon called
the Merlins.  The Merlins were founded years ago by Merlin himself to
combat the druids in their hidden conquest of the ignorant throughout the
world.  The book centers on one young man named Thomas who's teacher dies
before he can fully complete the Merlin training, and is caught in the
intriguing games of power both sides play as he tries to discover who his
friends are and what to do next.  It's a must read, I read it at least
once a year myself.
