That's cool. :) You know, when I met Francine Rivers she said she would always have a question in her head when she started a story and then she'd let the story answer it for her. That's kind of what I do but I never thought about doing it, that's just how I write.

It should entertain the reader without condescending to the reader. I think it's fine if a work of fiction poses questions in the process. I do believe that Christian writers have to tread carefully - there is that line between fiction and confusion or presenting ideas couched in fiction that misrepresent our own Christian values. I do enjoy Peretti, though.

The characters find answers but I as the reader don't always get how they get there. Here is my answer. I guess I considered the psychological/spiritual aspects of it. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://web.me.com/bluestocking_bb/The_Bluestocking_Guide/Book_Reviews/Entries/2009/2/7_Asked_or_Answered.html" REL="nofollow"> Asked or Answered</A>Brooke from The Bluestocking Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832634751075478091noreply@blogger.com
