Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.
From Jerry B. Jenkins
I don't see success as the goal. Obedience is the goal.
The theater of the mind is impossible to compete with, and I like the idea that with a few suggestions, each reader forms in his or her own mind what a character or a place looks like.
There is a comfort zone of knowing where things are going and having characters in place, but the action gets more and more dramatic and is very challenging to describe.
Writers write. Dreamers talk about it.
Good fiction must be entertaining, but what makes fiction special - and True - is that the realness of a novel allows it to carry a larger message.
Books that do a tenth of what Left Behind has done are smashing successes.
Ironically, in today's marketplace successful nonfiction has to be unbelievable, while successful fiction must be believable.
Left Behind takes what to some people may be unbelievable predictions from the Bible and shows how they might play out. It makes the events of biblical prophecy understandable and thus believable.
Actually 'Soon' has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.
