Let's just say that he doesn't sugar-coat things, which is one of the things I love about his writing. So if you can't handle or don't want to read realistic descriptions of battle and stuff like that, Lawhead's probably not for you. But he doesn't go over the top with it.
When you say "not too evil," I'm not sure what you mean. Some of the characters in his books are extremely evil, but they are not the heroes. Evil doesn't win. (I hope that wasn't a spoiler.)
There is some sexual content, but it never goes into graphic detail. His heroes do not tend to be promiscuous or anything like that. I wouldn't recommend some of Lawhead's books to anyone under 18 unless they're very mature though. Not just because of a little sensuality (usually between married couples), but also because of mature themes.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
