Topics: Themes
From The Writers’ Toolbox: Timeless Questions And Eternal Mysteries
Many writers are afraid they will limit the scope of their book if they place their story firmly in a particular economic or political or religious milieu. They’re afraid if they take sides in a controversial question, they’ll make enemies and lose readers.

Memorable Stories
In this day of hoarding, these are especially relevant questions, I think. Perhaps that’s what makes this particular show so memorable.

Taking Stories To The Culture
This is the culture into which God has put Christians living in western society in the 21st century. So, how should we then live?
·

Christian Themes In Books By Christians
In truth, themes should be crystal clear, but even Christian themes should not overshadow the story. They are not morals added on to make a point.

Unintentional Themes: The Power Of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is powerful—it frees us from a prison of resentment and unresolved anger we were never meant to be in.

The Sound and the Fury
How has heavy metal music influenced my writing?

How Science Fiction Portrays the Future of Christianity
Science fiction tends to write Christianity out of its view of the future. How can Christian sci fi writers respond?
·

Books Have Themes?
Using the vehicle of theme, writers say something. Whether that something is trivial and mundane or significant and profound depends on how unafraid they are.

For Writers: The Spiritual Element
So whether it’s overt or subtle, there has to be reflection of something greater for a story to resonate as true. It may take the form of direct allegorical elements or a subtle symbolic thread, but in capturing some element of spiritual truth, our stories will gain impact.

Fantasy That Works
Next time you read a fantasy, see how it measures in these areas: premise, conflict, realistic characters that act, a dense story world, a story that says something important.

Unlocking The Theme Of A Cast Of Stones
Fantasy novelist Patrick Carr reveals the secret themes he discovered for “A Cast of Stones” and “The Shock of Night.”

A Whole New World
One of the most common pieces of writing advice is “Write what you know.” I took a big risk and wrote about something I didn’t know, and my eyes and mind were opened.

The Meaning Of Life
It is the readers who decide what is quality fiction. It is readers who decide what will be classics or not.

Agenda Fiction Is Alive and Well
The purpose of fiction is to experience the truth lived out in real life. Even if that real life is in the future, past, or a fantasy world.

Quality Is As Quality Does
Karen Watson suggests that people who scoff at Christian fiction probably haven’t read it lately. Well, have you?

Has Speculative Fiction Aborted Controversial Positions?
Can a speculative story interweave an issue like abortion into its plot effectively? Especially faith-based speculative fiction?
·

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

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
Christian Speculative Fiction And Intellectual Rigor
There is power in stories. Stories help us to see truth through someone else’s eyes rather than through our own biased view. Through stories we can get to Truth by seeing past our own version of truth.

Art And The Clive Staples Award, Continued
The Clive Staples Award is not a popularity contest. Consequently, no voter should choose a book he has not read! Our aim instead is to honor fiction well written.
