What Tolkien Taught About Fighting Evil
Some of the most epic battles of fantasy fiction were penned by J. R. R. Tolkien. So what did Tolkien show us in his fiction about fighting Evil?

Christian Speculative Fiction: Complaining Or Buying
Spec Faith was founded, lo these 15 or so years ago, as a response to editors and agents saying over and over that there was no market for Christian speculative fiction.

Living In A Celebrity Culture
A few years back I attended a course at Mount Hermon Christian Writers’ Conference about promotion. One part of the class dealt with the hesitation many Christian writers feel toward self-promotion. The speaker gave what I believed to be an […]

The Christian Part Of Christian Speculative Fiction
The key to good fiction has always been to show, not to tell. And stories are about characters, so they are the ones readers want to hear from. They don’t want authors to interrupt the story for an explanation moment, no matter what the topic.

It’s Not The Holiday You Think It Is
A corrupt church and priests interested in lining their own pockets weren’t concerned with trivialities such as what the Bible actually said, so salvation by faith alone was not a concept widely known. The idea of “no distinction [between believers] … but Christ is all and in all” was for all practical purposes unheard of.

Beauty And Function
So does beauty exist for beauty’s sake? Are evangelical Christians wrong to think art can and should do more than just be beautiful?

Culture Shifts And The Christian Writer
Is it OK for Christian novelists to write to other Christians or to general market readers “purely for entertainment”? Or should we aim to make an eternal difference through what we write?

Fantasy Isn’t For Rabbits . . . Or Kids Exclusively
Are Christians, then, the only people who “outgrow” speculative stories, who don’t want to read fantasy or science fiction as adults? Or is this an incorrect perception publishers have reached?

Who Cares About Extraterrestrials?
I certainly have no problem with people who write science fiction. I consider it to be a type of fantasy, though.

Finding Books
Most of us don’t choose our stories based on what’s good for us. That smacks too much like taking our medicine or eating our vegetables.

Some Reflections on Reading
Reading requires more education than simply learning what words mean. More to the point, I think that for Christians, some reflection on how we read is in order. To that end, I’d like to offer a few thoughts on reading from a Christian perspective.

Characters Matter, And Their Character Matters
What we see in Christian novel after Christian novel is a flawed character in need of a Savior. The impression this gives is that people without Christ aren’t likable, that their flawed character means they won’t do heroic deeds or stand up for right.

The Christian And Stories
Should we seek to win the hard drinking and hard swearing jock by writing stories filled with drinking and swearing? Since real people do drink and swear and assault people and have affairs, since real people are prostitutes or frauds or terrorists, shouldn’t our stories show them in all their ugliness and need?

The Echoes Of Christmas
God is the Author of the Christmas story. I wonder how far its echoes can, and should, reach in all stories. What would a story look like, written in a spirit that, like Scrooge, honors Christmas and keeps it all the year?
