Names: Sally Apokedak
Was Tolkien A Racist?
How could Tolkien be accused of being a racist when his races were, well, made up? No, there are no hobbits in the world. No, there are no elves. No, there are no goblins or orcs made be the magic of an evil wizard.

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.

The Point And Purpose Of Reading Fiction
We frequently discuss whether or not we should expose ourselves to “gritty” stories about the garbage dump of life. Must we wallow in the mud, or can we choose instead to read stories that evoke truth and beauty? A tangential issue that might help with that question is this: are truthful stories beautiful (artistic) simply because of their truth?

The Making Of A Myth, Part 3
In many ways Tolkien separated himself from Christian parents today because he stated bluntly that children aren’t to be protected from reality though they can and should retain the guileless wonder of childhood: Children are meant to grow up, and not to become Peter Pans.

I Aim To Misbehave
This scene came to mind when I read an article by Sally Apokedak at Novel Rocket that Becky Miller highlighted this weekend. Sally asks if writers should aim to avoid offending publishers. It’s a good question, worthy of discussion.

Should Authors Critique Others’ Books?
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy” (Proverbs 27:6). If Christians are meant to critique one another’s beliefs and actions in love, can’t we also graciously critique one another’s art and novels?

How God Saved Me While I Read A Novel
I doubt that Thyra Ferre Bjorn was making a statement about abortion when she wrote her book in the 1950s. I don’t think she intended to prick the heart of a young woman, some thirty years later, who had purposefully killed two of her children via the abortionist’s table. But God used her book to save my life.
