I'd much rather have her read a book from a Christian publisher I'm familiar with than have to hold my breath every time she picks something up from a secular publisher. Not that they don't have some good books, but, I'd prefer there were more Chrisitian Spec-Fic. Here's to hoping others jump on board!The Crazy Cat Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330047821602341728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-64235311164364258832012-04-10T18:35:22.652-07:002012-04-10T18:35:22.652-07:00Mike, it is a mixed bag.

It's a very small, but highly sought after conference about speculative fiction from the greats, Lewis, Tolkien, Chesterton, O'Connor, Wangerin, etc.<br />But, I would invite anyone interested to check out an online apologetics conference at this link: http://onlineapologeticsconference.com/<br />in late April. It is dedicated to the intersection of literature and apologetics and I have been invited to speak on Christian Speculative Fiction and Apologetics and I'm using your book, The Resurrection as one example.<br />This may seem futile, but I think one way we can engage other Christians to pick up SpecFic books is to appear at such venues and talk about our work. I hope this presentation gives a boost to Christian SpecFic.<br />I hate that I'm not going to ACFW. I'd love to meet you and any other Realms authors that might be there.Bruce Henniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990734267362201108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-16184810119930781242012-04-10T07:33:44.324-07:002012-04-10T07:33:44.324-07:00Even if there's no room at the inn for specula...Even if there's no room at the inn for speculative fiction, I'm hopeful that publishers of inspirational fiction will find a place for us in the stable. We can all agree that, sometimes, great things come from humble beginnings.<br /><br />Thanks for your encouraging post.Kathrese McKeehttp://christsreflections.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
