It used to be that they were all overly preachy and safe, and that's just not my genre. Now they are real and with real issues and images. <BR/><BR/>I say review them how it is, opinions are opinions, and they are meant to be shared! <BR/><BR/>cherryblossommj.blogspot.comCherryBlossomMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440914569835398109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-19929968098180867742008-11-09T01:21:00.000-06:002008-11-09T01:21:00.000-06:00Some of the early fiction was like you said.

I think I started reading when things were improving but I did get some older books that were a romance type book and it was how bad the world was and it was back in ww2 and very much like you said but now it is so much more than that.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-22964151915465825422008-11-08T22:45:00.000-06:002008-11-08T22:45:00.000-06:00Yes - some of the earlier Christian fiction does s...Yes - some of the earlier Christian fiction does seem to have been more of the cookie-cutter variety.

I could predict the endings. Kind of like a soap opera with out the premarital sex. I am really glad that the stories have developed, and that the publishers have allowed the authors to really write with more freedom.kalea_kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645846028493046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-66170738232964912532008-11-08T20:15:00.000-06:002008-11-08T20:15:00.000-06:00I'm glad there's such a larger variety out there n...I'm glad there's such a larger variety out there now!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340796415443416237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-62777266283666110822008-11-08T19:56:00.000-06:002008-11-08T19:56:00.000-06:00lol!

And honestly, when I come to those generous sermon parts in books, I skip right over them. :)Kara S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11820990333568650565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-9903813888825448152008-11-08T15:51:00.000-06:002008-11-08T15:51:00.000-06:00Hmm - yeah.
