Old Soldiers
Veterans Day, aka Armistice Day, has a particular resonance for me, since it’s also my birthday. It’s a sobering thing to discover, at a very young age, that you were born on a day that commemorates the ending of a war—and not just any war, but arguably the most horrendous war in human history.

The Fine Line Between Reality and Fantasy
When I started writing my recently released young adult novel, Fathom, I knew there would be otherworldly creatures involved and that they would play a big part in the story. However, I always felt that at its heart, Fathom was a contemporary story

Reading Is Worship 11: Glory Spectrum Of Stories
If Godâs multihued glories shine in all of reality, how do we find such glories in stories and be moved to worship Him?

Redeeming Culture In Stories and Politics
The Church is not anti-culture or pro-culture, but a gracious proclaimer of the Biblical Story, and what in culture reflects Godâs truth or does not. This applies to stories, speculative and otherwise. And this applies to politics, the governance of culture.

Voting And Speculative Fiction
I don’t see democracy held up in fantasies or in science fiction as The Answer to the ills of the world. Rather, it seems as if democracy is not an option or it has led to a despotic take over, a la Rome or, in modern times, Germany. The Answer to the ills of society seems instead to be either the benevolent rule of a King or hero, or the anarchy of the individual.

Halloween, Horrors, and âStar Warsâ
Do you âobserveâ or not observe Halloween? Have you changed from one view to another? Share your thoughts on that, or on the âStar Warsâ empire assimilation, the horror genre, or that evidently heresy-flooded âNoahâ movie.

Holy Terror
Today, I’d like to toss a recent article from Christianity Today onto the table for discussion. It deals with horror, a speculative genre we don’t frequently chat about here…

The Success Of Fantasy By The Masters
According to Dr. Drout, Tolkien, and I would argue Lewis, created a bridge for contemporary readers to step into the realm of the fantastic. These writers tied their magical, mystical worlds to the world readers knew and recognized. Interestingly, they did so in vastly different ways.

Ministered To By The Secular Market
Novelist Alton Gansky: When I rattled off my favorite novelists during an interview, I wondered: why didnât I have a longer list of Christian authors? This demanded some inner noodling. So noodle I did.

So You Say You Want A Revolution?
We’re about a month into the new fall schedule on TV. My socks have not been blown off by “Revolution.” Then the characters meet Hollywood Christian Cliche #126, the fire-and-brimstone street preacher.

Christian Versus Secular Novels
Never Ceese
author Sue Dent: When I started out in publishing Iâd never once heard the market divided up into the two very specific categories of Christian and Secular. Genres, yes, but not Christian or Secular.

âChanging The Future; Itâs Called Marriage,â Part 2
In
Doctor Who
, some people hated Roryâs and Amyâs relationship. Maybe people dislike seeing a stable relationship. Maybe, similar to the Doctor himself, they canât stand committed, heroic, happy endings to a love story.

âChanging The Future; Itâs Called Marriage,â Part 1
After
Doctor Who
âs midseason finale, you may owe the British sci-fi seriesâ writers an apology if you believe the program pushed other agendas besides love, sacrifice, and God-given marriage.

âThe Hobbitâ Story Group 1: An Unexpected Party
One great way to explore âThe Hobbitâ is by reading it yourself. Yet if reading stories is worship, we should also read and discuss this classic together.
