Quality Christian Novels: an Oxymoron?
Recently, I overheard a Christian leader rave about various novels he’d read. When asked if he’d read a particular Christian novelist, he replied, “I never read Christian fiction.”
“Why not?”
“It’s predictable and sugar-coated; preachy, and poorly written!”
“Can you give some examples?” I asked.
He couldn’t. Not one. He’d read his last Christian novel over twenty years ago. I politely suggested that he may not be in the best position to say what it’s currently like.
