Hmmm. I've only recently started delving into Christian fiction. Mostly I've been steeped in the classics. I was truly impressed with Katie Ganshert's Wildflowers from Winter recently. Not too preachy, with solid writing. Christ.fic is a tricky genre, if you ask me--are we reaching the lost or the saved? I think it's possible to minister to both, if done properly. <br /><br />I'd like to think of myself as a crossover author, but agents have to choose which publishing houses to pitch, ABA or CBA. I wanted a Christian agent, on-board w/my worldview, so my book is on submission to Christian publishing houses right now. We'll see how it goes!Heather Day Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353914883176152555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13007821.post-77824618614485294672012-04-29T15:42:02.843-05:002012-04-29T15:42:02.843-05:00TALKING TO THE DEAD, Bonnie Grove. Hands down one ...TALKING TO THE DEAD, Bonnie Grove. Hands down one of the best books I've ever read, and it's definitely NOT the typical CBA book. QUAKER SUMMER by Lisa Samson is another one I'd put right up there, although its Christian content is heavier-handed than TTTD's. WAKING LAZARUS by TL Hines is another; to me that book can hold its own against pretty much anything out there. While there are several other C-Fic books out there that I really have liked, they're so heavily C-Fic that I doubt they'd stand as "mainstream" in anybody's eyes...not that that's a bad thing, it's simply a limitation that might keep them from garnering enough fans on both sides of the proverbial aisle. There are a few of them that clearly come down on the side of a particular doctrine, which disqualifies them in my eyes from having the kind of scope that would win a national book award of any type. Doesn't make 'em BAD, per se, but I think in many cases it does weaken them overall.<br /><br />My thoughts,<br />T1Jannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725527285837338560noreply@blogger.com
