A Critic’s Phrase
A word kept recurring in the discussion: nostalgic.

Don’t Forget The Reviews
Good books generally have a LOT of reviews, and the best books have a lot of positive reviews and a high rating.

The Crux of the Tragedy
All my adult life, I had intended to never read Romeo and Juliet.

Another Few Highlights
These are highlights – flash reviews, book recommendations if you want them – of speculative fiction.

A Few Highlights
I’ve been reflecting on the books I have had the opportunity to read and the privilege to review. I am going to highlight just a few.

Review – The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies
My first thought at the end of the movie was, How sad that there will be no more stories set in Middle Earth.

Review: Big Hero 6
“Big Hero 6” rides the wave of Disney’s second Renaissance.

Into The Hands Of Amateurs
Through Amazon and Goodreads, through blogs and a multitude of outlets, book reviewing has gotten out of the hands of professionals. Now a good deal of reviewing, especially of novels, is done by unpaid amateurs. But why did we take on the job?

More Thoughts On Reviews
Receiving reviews makes a huge difference in how wide an audience a book reaches.

When Christians Review
My fear is that we Christians are slipping down the same path the people of Israel took. They had a relationship with God and they had His Law, but they wanted so to be like the nations around them. So they began to compromise.

Expectations
So is it inevitable? If we love a series, will we always be let down because of our expectations? Or is it possible to hope and wait and wonder and anticipate and find the story ending is completely satisfying?

Readers And Writers Finding Each Other
For me, reading is similar to going to a nice restaurant. When I order my meal, do I get the item on the menu that I know I really like, or do I experiment, try something new?

Reading, Ratings, And Parental Guidance
Rating systems deliver the job of discernment into the hands of someone removed from the consumer. Movie ratings are often used as an example of what works when it comes to a quick and easy assessment of stories. However, I doubt seriously if any person Hollywood charges to rate a movie does so based on a Christian worldview.

Picking Books
More and more, readers are faced with Choice. But how do we filter through the thousands of books to find the ones we actually want to read? Spec Faith does not sell books, so this isn’t one stop shopping. It is, however, the place for readers of Christian speculative fiction. But we need your help.
