The first volume in a collection of contemporary fiction that combines the artistry of critically accaimed writers with a clear Christian worldview. From Homer Hickam, the best-selling author of Rocket Boys--which later became the movie October Sky to editor and contributing best-selling author Bret Lott, this collection spans a talented community writing an eclectic blend of fiction. Each piece stands alone as stellar fiction. And each piece confronts us with who we are and forces us to look deeply at the human condition. From the dirt lanes of North Africa to the suburbs of California, exuding lightheartedness and profundity, hilarity and tragedy, these stories will take you on a fresh and entertaining journey.… (meer)
There is much too little good Christian fiction out there that isn't sappy or romantic, and the genre of the short story is even more hard to come by. This is a book for people who like a story for its own sake. The stories can be considered Christian, but without an agenda, which means pure literature--so no big feeling of forced spirituality.I found the literary quality to be very good, but I gave this collection a five-star rating because so many Christians need exposure to decent fiction. This selection of short stories makes a good introduction.If you enjoy the simplicity of a story, this book is full of tales that can be appreciated for literary quality, not for trying to make a point.
