Lewis and Literature In The Library

Work continues to collect all published, Christian speculative stories in one place — the Speculative Faith Library. This effort also helps reveal a few things about the Christian-spec story field and classic authors that you may not know. · E. Stephen Burnett

Reviewing Speculative Faith Reviews

Writing more blog entries lamenting the lack of good Christian sci-fi and fantasy novels doesn’t correct this problem. Instead, read Christian SF novels and write reviews. Not just for The Cause, but to help others worship God. · E. Stephen Burnett

Readers And Reviews

Some people are intimidated by the whole writing reviews process. Since Spec Faith has added the review component to our library, I thought it might be helpful to look at writing reviews briefly, in the hopes that more readers will brave the waters of influence and post their thoughts here and elsewhere on the web. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

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. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

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. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Ale Boy’s Feast: A Review

The journey began in Auralia’s Colors, when two crotchety old thieves outside House Abascar found a child lying in an enormous footprint. That child grew to be an artist, a reckless, loving girl who dared display the colours she saw […] · E. Stephen Burnett

It’s Dawn

OK, it’s actually late afternoon here, but it is time for me to write my review of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so I used a little chronometric license 😉 . I went to see the latest version—I say […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller

By Darkness Hid – A Review

I read my first Marcher Lord Press book this week – Jill Williamson’s By Darkness Hid (April 2009), first in the Blood of Kings series. Well, actually I read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC), but I suspect there will be […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller
