Let’s Talk About Race and Racism: The End Game for Racism

How can racism ever end? Do other countries show us a better way than the United States? How can speculative fiction help? · Travis Perry

The Power of Christ Compels Us

If you’ve ever walked into a grand cathedral, ask yourself: was your first thought “Wow, God is so wonderful!” or was it “Wow, these architects and craftsman were incredible!” · Mark Carver

Whiplash Wednesday – A Look At Preachy Fiction

How effectively can Christ’s disciples carry out the Great Commission if they never spell out what they’re talking about? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Spec Faith To Partner With Christian Geek Central

A few months later I discovered SpecFaith and immediately became excited over the kind of thoughtful content produced here. I noticed that SpecFaith did not have a presence on Youtube and almost instantly saw potential for a God-honoring partnership. · Paeter Frandsen

Can You Review My Novel?

SpecFaith’s volunteers can’t always promise to review fantastical stories. But here’s what we can do. · E. Stephen Burnett

The Christian Writer And The Trends

Students and teachers alike, apparently, are embracing “the role that the arts and education can play in galvanizing people around an issue.” · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Kingdom Come

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

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 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

How Can They Hear?

A common complaint with Christian fiction is that it’s too preachy. Personally, I’m more apt to be dissatisfied because it’s not preachy enough. · Yvonne Anderson

Where Are All The Superheroes?

From the halls of Odin to the exploits of Beowulf, the graphic-art mythos of Superman, the school day victories of colorful Power Rangers—why are superheros so super? · Yvonne Anderson

The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

When we strum chords to accompany the song in our hearts, or sand a tabletop to release the wood’s beauty, or write a story that echoes God’s, I expect He’d call that the sincerest form of flattery. · Yvonne Anderson

In Which I Take The “Wrong Vehicle” Out For Another Spin

A week and a half ago, Mike Duran contended that fiction is the wrong vehicle for theology. That generated a wonderful discussion, but I didn’t enter into either conversation because I needed time to craft a careful response. Which I’ll attempt today. · Yvonne Anderson

Content To Be A Niche

Do we as readers value Christian speculative fiction to the point of seeing it as a treasure? What if there were no more Christian speculative fiction tomorrow? No self-published e-books, no more POD Marcher Lord Press paperbacks, not any from Splashdown Books either, and none on the shelves of Christian or general market stores. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Done To Death: Getting It Right

Last time, I wrote about the reason why I don’t think it’s a good idea to write “milk” in Christian fiction. And I also promised to talk about some books that I think “got it right,” so to speak. So here we go. · John Otte

Chuck Colson, 1931-2012

Defend the Truth. Live the Faith. Advance the Kingdom. These became the hallmarks of Chuck Colson’s life and ministry. The founder of Prison Fellowship passed away last Saturday at the age of eighty. To my knowledge, he had no connection with speculative fiction, but he was staunchly engaged with faith. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The “Alien Work” Of God Part VI

Like I said two week ago, I’m not one to back down from a bad idea. And I have a feeling that this might be a bad idea. We’ll see. Of course, that’s only if this post makes it past […] · John Otte

The “Alien Work” Of God Part V

So last time, we sat at the foot of the master, C. S. Lewis, and discussed the theological underpinnings of his Space Trilogy. For those of you just joining us now (or who don’t feel like going back and reading […] · John Otte
