I’ve gotten some good reviews for The Light Across the River, and I prefer to write literary novels. Here’s a review from Reader Views: http://www.readerviews.com/ReviewReedTheLight.html <br /><br />And if you check out my blog, you have a chance to win a copy of Light next month: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Stef Don’t forget to watch the video trailer with your son to see if he likes it.<br /><br />As for literary Christian novels written for adults, I like W Dale Cramer’s books. Also loved Tuesday Night at the Blue Moon. Good Christian novels are out there! And once we find them, we need to spread the word.Stephanie Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455149588554471056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541180064113018910.post-35071677729614260382009-05-26T11:30:03.486-07:002009-05-26T11:30:03.486-07:00I was actually referring to Christian teen lit and...I was actually referring to Christian teen lit and he naturally assumed it was boring...but you are so right about the Bible and of course that is the greatest book ever and I need to tell him thatCornelia Seigneur - Finding the Adventure in Motherhood and Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16918230875848802735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541180064113018910.post-53445405065600950542009-05-26T11:19:09.656-07:002009-05-26T11:19:09.656-07:00Hadn't thought about it like this, but I can see w...Hadn't thought about it like this, but I can see where an 11 year old would conclude that adult Christian literature, like many sermons, are boring. Good literature keeps us in suspense, right? But there are many of us that would think if Christian lit kept us in suspense, it wasn't giving the answers we need and would therefore be suspect. But, think of the greatest Christian literature you know of - the Bible. It holds in incredible suspense!! What was the final outcome of Solomon's life? Suspense. Did the woman taken in adultery accept Jesus' forgiveness and live differently after that? Did Zaccheus' change of heart last beyond Jesus' visit? We don't know the answer to some of these questions - suspense. You may be the one to write the kind of Christian novel you son would want to read! And I'll read it, too!
