Christian Fiction Reviews

The primary purpose of this website, as I'm sure most of you have noticed, is to post Christian Fiction reviews. But, there are many other reasons to stop by regularly.

1. Our weekly book giveaways!

2. Our new Authors Preview section.

3. Weekly chapters from the novel VRIN: ten mortal gods, offered by yours truly.

4. Listings of FREE books on Amazon Kindle and other eBook Readers!

5. Interviews with top authors and publishers in the Christian book industry.

6. You'll learn about how to write, how to promote, and how to get your work submitted for awards.

And so much more.

It is our hope you find a valuable resource here-- one that not only entertains, but inspires as well.




Happy Reading!

What do you like?

It is our ongoing goal to find you the absolute best books from today's top Christian authors. But everyone is different, right? The books I like won't necessarily be the books you like. That is why our focus is on what make you like what you like. To the right side of the site you will find Categories. They are there so-- if you use genre to select what you like-- you can jump right to it. If, instead, you would like a book recommendation, we've provided Categories for that too. Each of our reviews have their own category. If you go to "who we are" in the menu to the right, you'll find a bio on each of us. In it you can see what we like, and what we don't like. Pick the reviewer who will choose what you would choose to read, and you'll get a great book every time.

Now, we are already working on getting some very big names in Christian Fiction, but we'd like to hear from you as well. What authors do you like? What questions would you ask your favorite authors, if you could? What would you like us to talk about? Your input is so valuable to us. We don't want this to be a one way conversation. Leave a comment on this article, and give us your input.

Christian Science Fiction

Is there a place for Christian Science Fiction? The universe depicted in Star Trek tells us we are evolving, and that there are some civilizations behind us, and others so far advanced, we would consider their peoples gods. In Star Wars we see good and evil set in balance, and God as nothing more than an impersonal force. In Battlestar Galactica the Cylons believe in a singular god, while the humans believe in multiple gods. The world is full of such stories- stories of futures far beyond our present time, where God's plan is little more than a distant memory, and we as Christians go to these places in our minds eye. We spend time with the inhabitants of other planets, though God doesn't speak of any created being beyond man. We envision the creation of cybernetic shells which will one day have the capacity to contain the essence of who we are, yet have the advantage of immortality. Does this not have an effect on us?

I am of the opinion, that Christian Science Fiction is vital. The overwhelming influence of Darwinian Science Fiction alone merits the needs for Christian authors to put pen to paper. We must offer stories which depict creation as the underlying truth. This world needs more books which tell the story of immortal life as a dark tragedy, rather than something to desire. Yet the Science Fiction author must contend with the ever judgmental eye of the Christian audience. As authors we are only human, and cannot spin perfect tales. There will be imperfections. But do we throw the baby out with the bathwater? Can we not get more insight and truth from a writer who loves God, than from a writer who denies His existence? What are your thoughts?
