I do not think the Discworld books (nor anything much by Pratchett) are good recommendations here. Can anyone seriously consider recommending Small Gods to a devout Christian that does not want to read text that means to deride religion? Pratchett's other books may not be so full of it, but most carry at least some of the same inferences. Of course, by the same argument, the assumptions inherent in most science fiction and fantasy present problems in this regard.

Prilgrim86, you've already mentioned C.S. Lewis. By much the same token, a lot of even older science fiction tends to be mostly free bad language and sexual content, and a lot of it is quite careful around the subject of religion. So most books by H.G. Wells or Jules Verne (for example) I think would satisfy your criteria. Edgar Rice Burroughs' science fiction works have moistly implied rather than explicit sexual content, but might have more violence than you like.
