The Monster In My Bookshelf

Sorry to have disappeared on you, folks. Part of the reason why is because I was in the middle of overhauling my personal website. Go take a gander and kick the tires if you want. I like it. It is, […] · John Otte

Ghostwriters In The Sky

That revelation changed how I viewed the book. I still love it, but some of the luster dulled in the feeling of having believed a lie. · R. L. Copple

Fictional Christianity

If it sounds right and they like the speaker, many will not blink an eye and drink the koolaid. · R. L. Copple

God From The Story

Any author who has God as a character is always in danger of alienating readers by what God does or doesn’t do or say. · R. L. Copple

Theism, Reloaded

You can theorize on the fence, but you can’t live there. · R. L. Copple

About That Kingdom… Come Again?

Two weeks ago, I shared my thoughts about the dual nature (spiritual and physical) of Christ’s Kingdom and how this worldview is not often reflected in fiction. One reader took objection, and I’m glad he question my assertions, as it’s […] · Yvonne Anderson

Kingdom Come

Humans desire an ideal kingdom, a longing that Scripture promises to fulfill both spiritually and physically. · Yvonne Anderson

Truth In Labeling

The world isn’t helped when Christian books further confusion about the faith. · Yvonne Anderson

Looking For A Few Good Words

I’m choosy about books. I’m not so particular about genre, but I’m a terrible snob where the quality of writing is concerned. I want some depth to a story. A satisfaction of the spirit. I’m less concerned with a story’s […] · Yvonne Anderson

What Is Intellectual Rigor?

Some writers sacrifice theme for the sake of art. However, the most artfully told story that says something untrue is nothing more than an artful lie. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Contemplations While Sitting on The Porch Snapping Green Beans

Only in an advanced society do we remove the tip ends of beans. Some say this unnecessary practice removes important nutrition and fiber. High-end restaurants often leave the tips for the sake of being fashionable. But I break them off […] · Yvonne Anderson

More Thoughts on Science and Fiction

Is the phrase “Christian sci-fi” really an oxymoron? · Yvonne Anderson

More Thoughts About Science and Speculation

Depending on the version you read, the word “science” occurs twice in the Scriptures. In Daniel 1:4, the Babylonians sorted through the Jewish boys they’d taken captive, hoping to find some they could train in their own ways. They looked […] · Yvonne Anderson

Where Are All The Speculative Titles Going?

Today’s post is going to be a departure from my “Last Son of Earth” series in order to bring you some highlights from the ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) in St. Louis. For the uninitiated, ICRS has been the primary […] · Christopher Miller

John Bunyan – This Is No Tall Tale

We think of speculative fiction as a fairly new art form. After all, who ever heard of anyone writing about fantasy worlds and that sort of thing in, say, the 17th century? · Yvonne Anderson

“I Don’t Read Fiction,” She Said, Disapproving.

Apparently the church connection reassured her that I was safe to talk to. But to make sure we’d have no misunderstandings, she told me with self-righteous conviction, “I don’t read fiction.” · Yvonne Anderson

Bring In The Gospel, But Leave Your “Isms” At Home

The simple gospel is a gem of unfathomable proportions. So Christian writers, make sure it’s the gem the reader finds, not the box it’s in or the filigree that surrounds it. · Yvonne Anderson
