Seventh Mountain: Chronicles of a Ma Book

I started reading this book so I could decide if it was a good fit for my 12 year old son, who enjoyed the Harry Potter books. While I think the story-line was great and the book was very entertaining ( I am considering getting the next book in the series), I did not feel that this book could really be called Christian. The concepts in the book were very loosely based on the Christian faith and could be very confusing for a child. I actually had more concerns about letting my son read this book, than I did about him reading Harry Potter, as Harry Potter makes no claims about being a Christian and the story could not be easily be confused with Biblical truths. I would not recommend this book to Christian parents looking for something safe for their child to read independently. However, as a read-aloud where parents can answer questions and remind the child that the story is fantasy and not truth, this book would be very entertaining.
