Many Christians of a certain persuasion seem to struggle to read fiction. At all. But fiction is a powerful tool for engaging the culture and is especially helpful for those of us who are writers.
In this episode you’ll hear:
- How I got back into reading fiction
- Five fiction books for you to consider
- A semi-dramatic reading of Douglas Adams
A few of the books and resources discussed in this episode
- High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
- The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
- Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
- Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
What’s happening on the next episode of the podcast?
Next week, I’ll hopefully be returning to our regular format with a new series of guests.
