What Makes A Book Christian?

Can you answer this question? Is a book Christian because it is based on testimony? Can any genre book be Christian just by virtue of its writers' religious preference? Or is a Christian book a specific genre that is developing before our eyes? Can a non Christian write a Christian book? We have many writers that profess to be Christian book writers. Tell us what that means to you and we will post it on the main page along with having this discussion live on the… Continue

Blogging the Psalms

My email addy is scifiwritir@gmail.com Basically, we'd just go through the psalms this year. From 1 to 150. Posting a new psalm in order every two or three days. We'd also link to other sites also in the tour. We can still post other stuff to our blog but there'd be that one continuing thread all year. It'd be a good way to get folks to our blogs if we got a lot of folks but even if we can't do that, at least we'll have folks from each other's blogs. And the main thing would be that we would… Continue

The uses and mis-uses of inspiration

This was an article I originally wrote for Christian Fiction Factor but it has some good points that fit spec-fic writers also. The Uses and Misuses of Inspiration. Carole McDonnell “The Lord gave me this idea.” How often I’ve heard a new writer say this? Often, this sentence preceded great stories. But just as often it introduced writings that were so half-baked I found myself searching for a tactful way to say “Please don’t blame the Lord for this.” Don’t get me wrong. I believe that God i… Continue

Goofing Off At The Library

. My son and I just love almost literally slumming at the library. That is very true. What other place can you goof off at and gain so much pertinent knowledge of just about anything you need and want to know.

It's almost has become our second home. Libraries are a God-Send to all neighborhoods and communitie… Continue

Just a little kindness

In this busy world we live in, it is often easy to completely overlook the people who surround us. It only takes a moment to smile, and what is the cost of holding a door for someone? You just might make someone's day a little brighter. Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to frown at someone who is smiling? For me, it is almost impossible. And usually, if I smile at someone who is frowning, they return my smile. Smiles seem to be contagious. I have been told that it takes only a f… Continue
