I Hope This Is Not Out Of Line:

Who on here enjoys christian fiction, and what is your opinion of Karen Kingsberry's writing? In your opinion has she experienced any of the things she has written about. The reason I ask is because they are so detailed it seems like the experiences would almost have to be of a personal nature? I am not making any accusations concerning her, I am only asking your opinion.

I enjoy reading; I like to keep it clean; and for those who do read fiction, could you recommend any authors who you enjoy personally. I've read quite a few, and I am looking for something that is so interesting that it would be next to impossible to put it aside. I enjoy the pioneer trilogy, Historicals, and Christian romance. I've read some of Al Lacy and I don't care much for His writing or any westerns.

Thank's for all your input.

My wife loves all that stuff, but I have one question, how come most of it involves the trials and tribulations of Mennonite or Amish families moving across the plains to settle in the west?

I love to read. I've read a couple of her books. I also like Mary Higgins Clark. She keeps her books clean.

I've never read any Christian fiction outside of "The Sin Eaters" by Francine Rivers just lately because I saw the movie and it piqued my interest in the book.

Can you believe that I've worked in a Christian bookstore now for about 3 years and have never read any fiction?!! One reason is that I had a bias (perhaps unfairly) that Christian fiction would be inferior and not to be compared with a lot of the secular fiction I'd read over the years, but t I've heard that some of the authors that have come along in the past decade or so are really quite good.

I mainly go for "Christian Living" and study type of material. I really enjoy some of the Christian biographies.

I used to be a huge fiction reader - secularly speaking.

I don't think that details necessarily imply actual experience. I have a vivid imagination, and I can picture things in my mind and describe them in equally vivid detail. Imagination is a fantastic thing.

It's also possible that it could've happened to someone close to her, giving her a more accurate perspective. I haven't read the books, so I don't really know exactly what you're talking about.

You can do research into any given topic to lend credibility to your writing.

I have read quite a few of Karen Kingsbury's books. I really enjoy reading her books because they are so detailed it makes you feel like you're seeing into the characters lives.

I have read everything ever written by Terri Blackstock (Christian/Suspense writer) and Mary Higgins Clark. It would be hard to choose a favorite from the two authors.

I've just recently started reading a few of the books by Dee Henderson. I'm not sure how well I like her books yet. I guess I'll decide that when I finish the series I am reading now.
