I'm re-running this review because I think everyone should read this novel. It's poignant, possible, and particularly pressing for people to be aware of their surroundings, who is near them, what they look like, what they're wearing. Not to accentuate the fear factor but rather to emphasize the more you see around you, the more…

   A cabin kitchen in the country, I'd say. Cute. Not big enough outside of a cabin. Love the cabinets (look a lot like mine) and island top. The countertops look very similar to mine too. Interesting touch and color of the painted wood (shabby chic?) on the island drawers and cupboards.   Lord, you give…

     He [Jesus] also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.      "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's…

The world has gone mad. But it isn't just lately. It started at The Fall of Man. Okay, you say, I don't buy it – that Adam and Eve thing. Okay. Then if this grand cosmic experiment, that Big Bang, the ooze of amoebas, have failed to produce human beings who don't hate, don't practice…

                    I loved this group and this song. America produced some wonderful, albeit typical, early 70's tunes. This was one of my favorites. Thanks to Ken Kuehne, my Facebook friend for posting it. A few years after this song, one of their singers met Jesus. Hope he's still walking with the Lord.   Father, thank…

  This one's for you, Brenda S. Anderson. It's quite elegant and the wood floor is spectacular.   Father, you make something for everyone. Again and again, thank you for the beauty. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    So. Who is the audience for Christian Fiction? Not an easy answer for this question precisely because of the problems we've discussed in Part One and Two. The obvious answer is Christians. But that's not complete enough because oddly it doesn't include many Christians who've abandoned the overall genre due to the restrictive choices of some publishing…

     "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will…

  So. How did Christian publishing become what it is today? All we really have from authors like myself are opinions. Lots of them. When I was introduced to Christian Fiction, it might've started before Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, but that's what started Christian Fiction for me. His blockbuster duo of TPD and Piercing…

                              Over the years of doing this blog I've written and conducted many discussions on Christian publishing. Several years ago, I asked professionals in publishing, authors – published and unpublished – and some editors to describe their opinions of Christian Fiction. We've talked about the requirements and rules for getting published in this market, the dissent and…
