Interesting. I am one of those who spend much of my reading time in theology and church history, apologetics etc. but rather than think novels are a waste, I often find myself wishing I had a larger repertoire of them digested for writing, teaching and general vernacular. Thanks for the increased incentive to read!
You're absolutely right--I'm convinced that the best way to become a better writer is through reading well and reading broadly. Exposing yourself to different styles and forms is so stimulating too, there are so many myriad and interesting ways to express the same ideas and truths!
This sounds great, I’ve been writing sporadically about fiction in the literary life of the believer and it’s great to know I won’t be alone!
Oh brilliant!

Can’t wait for the seasonal smorgasbords!
