A Santa Claus Non-Believer Discovers Tolkien’s Father Christmas Letters
I’ve just discovered Tolkien’s Letters From Father Christmas. I found them charming–but they also got me thinking about truth, tradition, and stories.

Speculative fiction is based on otherness—the difference between the world of reality and the world of a story.

Seven Ways to Deal With the Problem Magic Poses Christian Fantasy Writers
What is really is the problem with magic according to the Bible? How (and why) can Christian fantasy writers deal with this problem when creating stories?

Are Stories Of Sacrifice Always Stories of Christ?
In most cases, the connection between the sacrificing hero and Christ seems tangible. He willingly puts his life on the line so that another may go free.

Superheroes And Heroes As They Relate To God
In part I think the love of speculative fiction grows from the need in the heart of each one of us for a person stronger, better, more capable, committed, willing to put his life on the line for others. We long for rescue—for ourselves, for our community, for the world. We love the idea that Someone will bring justice when we see no hope, when we are convinced that the bad guys will win, when we see devastation wrecking havoc in the face of our helplessness.

The novel had a simple, even predictable plot, and the writing was serviceable at best. The characters were not complex, the theme undeniably obvious. Imagine my surprise, then, when I came to the climax of the story and cried.

Tips For Good Allegory
Many Christian writers think a good message will stand on its own, and maybe it used to, but that won’t fly today. Readers don’t want to buy sermons—or if they do, they won’t go to the fiction section! Fiction readers want to read books. Stories, tales, yarns that you’ve spun.

The Fantasy Itch: Gettin’ To Be THAT Time Of Year
Ah, yes, I’m definitely ready to settle down with a good fantasy. It’s that time of year! Last year I read Brandon Sanderson’s
Mistborn
, first in the Mistborn Trilogy (which, I learned, is actually a five book series). I’m thinking this year I should finish out the rest, starting with
The Well of Ascension
