It’s not just what Christian fiction lacks I appreciate – it’s what it offers. The variety is vast: contemporary, historical, suspense, mysteries, adventure, young adult, romance, fantasy, science fiction. – Randy Alcorn
Fiction has subversive potential. People let it into their minds, like the Trojan Horse. They don’t know what’s inside. You hook them with the story, and God can work below the level of their consciousness. Fiction can be propaganda for evil or convey a theme that impacts people for good. – Randy Alcorn
I try to tell a story that’s good enough to win the right to integrate eternal themes into it. If it’s poorly written or comes across as a sermon, then obviously you don’t reach people, because they’re aware that you’re imposing something on a story that isn’t innate to it. – Randy Alcorn
Contrary to common belief, Christian fiction did not begin with Catherine Marshall, Janette Oke, or Frank Peretti. – Randy Alcorn
My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts. – Randy Alcorn
