Fiction Christians From Another Planet! V: Pagan Straw Men

If we only ever meet in Christian novels pagan characters overcome by platitudes like “Really? There’s a God who loves — me?”, the author has gone beyond corny. Worse, our Hero and the Gospel look ridiculous. —E. Stephen Burnett in January 2013

The Sincerest Form Of Flattery
