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. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Speculative Fiction Trends And Tendencies

We should consider the lessons they teach and the journeys they take the reader on. And whatever our prayerful conclusions, we must acknowledge that the printed word is always a perfect springboard for discussion. · Shannon Dittemore
