The Complete Idiot’s Guide to: Writing Christian Fiction, By: Ron Benrey
Non-Fiction: Writing, publishing, religion 294 pages 2007
Although, this book states at the beginning that it is only meant to be a guild for the ways that writing Christian fiction is different then writing secular fiction or other forms of writing, it does have a lot of information that would be useful for people writing any novel. There are sections on outlining stories, making time for writing, and the different paths to getting your book published. All these parts provide useful information for any writer. So, even though we have no desire to write in this genre at this time, it still was full of helpful writing tips. And it made us glad that we don’t have to follow all of the sometimes odd rules that Christian publishers have. (Now we think we will write about a woman at a bar who dances across the room in order to get to the bathroom in celebration that we can write about drinking, dancing, and the fact that people use the bathroom and our readers don’t find it horribly offensive. [Not that most people reading Christian fiction would either, but those who do tend to complaint loudly.])
