I would guess that there would be many people who do not call themselves "Christian" who also like to read "clean" copy.... (no vulgary, etc.)
I'm not looking for Christian SF. Just fun reads like (using Heinlein for example) "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," "Starship Troopers", "Glory Road", "Have Spaceship, Will Travel" etc. There may have been some suggestive dialog at times but nothing like you read today!
I read these back in the 70's (and I'm shocked at current pricing!) I'll be traveling all summer long and I'm looking for some fun reads to take along on my iPad. Doesn't have to be "the best," just cheap (or better yet free.) I've already downloaded some of the free Bean books which were suggested.

I don't know how "cheap" is cheap. I recommend the works of Cordwainer Smith - 2 volumes at $6 a volume at Baen's (roughly 1300 pages worth of stories).
H. Beam Piper's works at project gutenberg. Also Planet of the Damned, by Harry Harrison also at PG.
