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.		102
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.		103
I read secular fiction, but also enjoy novels with a Christian worldview.		104
My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.		105
I wrote my first novel, 'Deadline,' in 1994 as an experiment.		106
