Kingdom Come

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

Loving Human Journeys Over Genres

Scripture isn’t first about kings, tents, and donkeys; other stories aren’t first about worlds, battles, and dragons. · E. Stephen Burnett

Because God Says So

In some small part, I think Christian writers have the responsibility to dispel the objection that says says “reality” doesn’t verify belief in the “fairy tale” ending, and to demonstrate the way the world really works. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Truth In Labeling

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

The Continued Search For The Next C. S. Lewis

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. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Realm Makers: Go Beyond The Blogs

Realm Makers offered more than cosplay and shared fandom. It gave deep doctrinal magic and a chance for Christian fans to better “incarnate” their love of fantastic fiction. · E. Stephen Burnett
