Fiction Friday: Dream Treaders By Wayne Thomas Batson

Something was behind him. In the pines. Something big enough to snap a tree trunk as if it were a twig. Archer knew there were only a few creatures in the area large enough and heavy enough to do that kind of damage

Biblical Discernment: Focus

It isn’t the presence of “icky, bad stuff” that we are to avoid thinking about, but rather discernment comes into play on what that stuff, icky or not, leads us to focus on, what truths it formulates in our minds.

Safe Fiction And The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz

In western culture we have Man, clawing up behind Satan, trying to replace God. In part because of a piece of “safe” fiction.

Godzilla Is Not Dead

There is one thing God and Godzilla have in common. People keep thinking they’ve been killed off, only to watch them come back to life.

Safe Fiction – Discernment, Tim Downs, And First The Dead

What I’m wondering … really, what I’m doubting … is if one person can make a determination for another that a particular work is “safe.”

The Christian Writer And The Trends

Students and teachers alike, apparently, are embracing “the role that the arts and education can play in galvanizing people around an issue.”

Fiction Friday: Numb By John Otte

Crusader perched like a gargoyle on a second floor ledge across from the safe house’s entrance. He ignored the rain pouring down his face even though it blurred his vision. The weather didn’t matter. Neither did his posture. God created him to execute the Ministrix’s justice.

Readers Sound Off

Readers never get heard. Writers are told to write to their audience, but who ever asks that audience what kind of books they want to read?

The Meaning Of Life

It is the readers who decide what is quality fiction. It is readers who decide what will be classics or not.

Getting The Most Out Of Conferences

What makes the expense of traveling to a conference, paying for tuition and room and board, spending two or more days away from family and the regular routine of life, worth it?

Confessions Of A Spec-Fic Convert

We all know it: The Look that magically appears when you try to explain your favorite fandom to your non-geek friends.

Keeping It Real

Too often, I suspect, the subject of sex and marriage is avoided rather than fleshed out in most Christian fiction. This is not an effective counter to secular values on the subject regularly plastered in mainstream speculative fiction.

What Brings God Glory?

When believers say that the “chief end of man” is to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever,” I have to wonder if “glorify God” in that context means the default position—i.e., do nothing because your existence, as God created you, glorifies Him.

Receiving reviews makes a huge difference in how wide an audience a book reaches.

When Christians Review

My fear is that we Christians are slipping down the same path the people of Israel took. They had a relationship with God and they had His Law, but they wanted so to be like the nations around them. So they began to compromise.

The Plowing Of Hades

When we speculate, it becomes a story. When God speculates, it becomes reality.

Why Don’t Christian Writers Speculate According To Scripture?

We have an infallible, Spirit-inspired revelation of God’s work in the world from the beginning of creation. Why, then, don’t we Christian speculative writers more often take what we know from the Bible and speculate on what the world might look like?

On Raising A Family Of Nerds

My wife and I grew up nerds but tried to raise our family differently — until our rules changed.

Agenda Fiction Is Alive and Well

The purpose of fiction is to experience the truth lived out in real life. Even if that real life is in the future, past, or a fantasy world.

Satan Is For Real, Or What Became Of The White Witch?

Above all Satan wants people to shrink their view of God. That’s his great lie: God is not so great after all.
