Names: Harry Potter
Sacrifice And Speculative Fiction
Clearly self-sacrifice is a key component in both general market speculative fiction and Christian speculative fiction. But what is it about sacrifice that is so compelling?

What To Make Of Dragons: A Reprise
There
are
legitimate questions about magic and wizards and dragons and ghosts. The Bible is not silent on the subjects of sorcery, and reportedly mediums are under God’s judgment. But what does that have to do with fiction?

March Madness And Quidditch
The key to Rowling’s worldbuilding is the consistency with which she infuses the
different
into the normal.

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
.

Six Christian White Magic Spells Worse Than Fantasy Magic
When Christians get distracted by fears of magic in fantasy, what Christian white magic “spells” do we cast in reality?

Finish The Story
“This is a stupid arc. This plot is redundant and the characters aren’t empathetic. I don’t even like the Hero that much.”
·
E. Stephen Burnett
Reading Fantasy
Some might think fantasy is pure escapism, but in reality, it helps us deal with the darkness in our own lives, inside and out.

Kat Heckenbach on Story Evangelism
“If I, a Christian, never thought for a moment to look in a Christian store for books, why would a non-Christian?”

The Faces Of Evil
If we know depraved humans hide or destroy faces in fiction, why do we not face this truth in reality?

Remembering The Soldiers Who Died
It doesn’t seem to me that speculative stories are short on wars, and therefore people serving the rest of their culture or nation or species by marching into danger and possible death. What novels actually show beloved characters dying as part of their commitment to fight for right?

Meet The Parents
There’s been a quiet trend, at least in some of the popular fiction I’ve read, of parents who are killed off or written as weak and flaky.
·
Amy Davis
Violence In Speculative Literature
Speculative fiction is built upon a violent struggle. The goal is never to learn to co-exist with evil or to just learn to get along or to agree to disagree. Instead, two opposing forces, two incompatible worldviews square off.

Deuteronomy 18 Witchcraft: What It Is and Isn’t
God does not ban all fictitious magic, but in Deut. 18 and other Scriptures he does condemn actual pagan idolatry.

Divergent, Great Stories, And Good Writing
The book series was one more hot story that had fans craving the next book and the next. Granted, though the first book opened as #6 on the NY Times best-selling list, it didn’t reach the stature of Twilight or Hunger Games and certainly not of Harry Potter. Still, it had a loyal and avid following.
