Into the Fire

We all recognize the vast reach of all kinds of books. We acknowledge that not all people enjoy reading – especially since it's not being taught in public schools, but we won't go there. 

Those who love novels have a wonderful array of genres from which to indulge their reading pleasures. 

Since I write Christian Fiction, I prefer reading it, but, sadly, my favorite genre to read is not well-represented in the current Christian Fiction market.

Many Christians prefer non-fiction, and, without accusing them of demeaning the importance of novels, there are huge numbers of self-help, devotionals, testimonials, memoirs, biographies, and Bible studies, past and present, from which to choose. 

I can tell you there are several novel genres I don't read as my preferences are succinct and 99% locked in. I rarely make exceptions, but occasionally I will because of an author I respect. I can also tell you that those non-fiction categories listed above will rarely occupy my reading time. I am a rare non-fiction reader. 

Whatever you prefer to read, there are literally millions of books. The menu is endless. 

There is a point to this, but I'll explain more on Monday's post.

Father, thank you for novels and for any and all books that draw people to you and closer to you. Apart from you, we can do nothing. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
