    Frank Peretti Movies

    Many of us who grew up in the 80's and 90's would have read at least one of Frank Peretti's novels. A few of them have been made into movies but have never seen the success the books deserve. I'm interested to know what one of Franks novels would you like to see made into a movie? ('This Present...

    The Chosen

    My Thoughts “The Chosen” is a TV series about the life of Jesus Christ. It is fiction, not factual, so not biblical in the purest sense of the word. It is inspired by Scripture, but it takes many liberties with the Scriptures and with the biblical characters, too, particularly with the...

    Is it a sin to play games involving fictional gods? Owning merch pertaining to said fictional gods?

    I apologize as I know some people have raised similar questions, but I haven't seen anyone raise quite the thing I'm concerned with here in my search. Also, completely new here, so I also apologize if this is the wrong board to ask this question on. Anywho, what do you guys think? They're...

    Conversion and encouragement of faith through fiction?

    I was wondering whether anyone knew of people converted (or encouraged in their faith) through reading works of fiction. I'm thinking primarily of the fantasy novels of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis but I'm not restricting the question to them. I don't mean Lewis' apologetics writings such as Mere...

    Can Christians do this?

    So, here is an but of an uncommon question. I know Christians are not supposed to delight in evil. But imagine, in something fictional like a movie, or a book, someone did something I found humorous, though the action itself was be morally wrong. Could I laugh? Would it be permissible? Would...

    Anybody with book publishing connections?

    Surely I'm not the first and certainly won't be the last to request this, but if anybody has a legitimate way to help me get my foot in the door, I would be most grateful. Specifically, I'm seeking representation for mainstream sci-fi/fantasy and mystery/thriller novels in the USA or Canada...

    Hi, I am new, but I was hoping for advice on something I would like to do.

    I want to write a book, it is in the fantasy science fiction genre. I was told by some people that anything but realistic fiction was demonic, they also said yoga and many other things which seem benign would open doors. While I don't necessarily agree that everything they said is dangerous, I...

    Tradition over the Bible when they conflict? Preference over the Bible when in conflict?

    Do you accept the Bible as true and trustworthy?

    Many Christians such as myself accept that the Bible is true and trustworthy. Others would argue that it is "fiction" whenever it says something they prefer not to believe. And since we are approaching the Christmas time of year ... What is your view? 1. Virgin birth - true or fiction...

    "People have lost the ability to judge what is true and what is not," - Tyson

    Neil deGrasse Tyson Warns Science Denial Could 'Dismantle' Democracy I find this particular quote to be rather ironic considering the source. I've simply lost count how many times "dark matter" theories (plural) have been blown out the water over the last decade. Apparently Tyson only engages...
