A Storyteller First
My new post for Christian Manifesto, "A Storyteller First," is about author Travis Thrasher. Let me know what you think. I reviewed his latest novel Broken earlier this week.
A really good review - and so thought-provoking. I hate so-called "Christian" fiction. Why should you ruin a real story with preaching and moralizing, when really we're no different from the non-Christians on the street who live and breathe the same dust and air we do.
I can't wait to get my hands on some of Thrasher's books. ILL, here I come...
GY -- cool review. Glad you took on the violence aspect, "not gratitous' and the faith angle in the books.
ReplyDeleteMan -- how do you do it? Your reading, grandkids, blogging output is amazing!
