Comments on: The Problems with Christian Fiction http://ceruleansanctum.com/2009/11/the-problems-with-christian-fiction.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:37:15 +0000 hourly 1 By: Debbiehttp://ceruleansanctum.com/2009/11/the-problems-with-christian-fiction.html#comment-49629 Debbie Sat, 02 Apr 2011 01:13:05 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/?p=1916#comment-49629 I appreciate your comments and agree with many of them...but I also agree with the person who said that mediocrity is not limited to Christian fiction. It abounds in "secular" fiction as well. I would also point out that the books which you abhor are obviously meeting the reading needs of some people, or they wouldn't be published and selling copies...so their existence is justified. However, it would be nice if the reading needs of other people, like yourself, would also be met! I enjoy a limited number of "Christian Chick Lit" books but also crave the more meaty, less preachy, more thoughtful fiction and wish there was more of it.

I am writing an annotated bibliography for young adult fiction. Any suggestions? I already picked up the ideas from the above posts. I don’t get Flannery O’Connor either.

Sadly, I can't find another writer like her. Francine River’s “Mark of the Lion” series or “Redeeming Love” will change your opinion of Christian fiction forever.
