I can't imagine not wanting to read Christian fiction either!
We Christians need to read books that grapple with reality, and no one should better understand real reality: Sin, Consequences, Justice, Mercy, Love, Truth, Evil, Goodness, God, Redemption, and the elements of life: Love, Forgiveness, Joy, Grief, no one should better understand these than the Christian. We know the Lord of all of Life!
Do we understand all of this perfectly? Never! But , we can wrestle with these facts and then lead people to the One who knows them and their circumstances, the One who can help. And we can tell a fearfully good tale as we go!
We must continue to read and write powerful books that deal with all of these things in a Biblically grounded way. We must!
I think that every book or TV show that deals with life honestly eventually returns to the Christian view of things, whether it is openly acknowledged or proclaimed or not.
For example, I am watching an old tv series about Detectives. In this series, which aired on secular Tv, themes of justice, sin, redemption, etc, all unfolded. And they did so in a way that squared with Scripture because that is how life operates! Sin has consequences. It isn't pretty. And if a book, or tv show, deals with that fact, they will be operating from a very basic Biblical worldview.
Now, I am always left hungering for the characters to move beyond the bascis of realizing that they need to straighten up and be redeemed after their bad choices, and come to know the One who can give them Full Redemption by His blood.
That is why I wish that the {very few} secular series I have enjoyed had been Christian, because in Christian fiction we can have that redemption, we can take them past moral living and right and wrong to the foot of the Cross.
So that is my two cents, and I hope it made sense. :) :) Christian fiction is the the only fiction that deals with reality, and deal with reality it must.
We are posting videos here in the this group to help all of our members figure out how to use this site :-)
We will be posting videos all the time now, basically going through the entire site.
