Anything by Graham Greene. Heart of the Matter is my personal favorite.
His relationship with God and Catholic Church was kinda sketchy though. It’s debatable whether he falls under the category of>>12116586
“Christian author.”

I'm reading Pilgrim's progress and its pretty good although sometimes it can feel like a childish RPG, specially about the dialogues.

Under the Sun of Satan, his first novel (i think). And Mister Ouine, one of his last and darkest works.

If you can read French, there's a great french critic of literature that has been writing a blog for ten years and often talks about Bernanos:

http://www.juanasensio.com/

He also talks about Boy, Boutang, Carlyle, Evola, Jünger, Krauss and others less known writers like Gadenne, La Soudière of Michaelstaedter.

He's basically what /lit/ likes to pretend it is.
