No life is messier than one in ministry
Fiction has a unique role in conveying Truth. In fact, only fiction that is Truth with a capital T is worthwhile.
I love inventing worlds and characters and settings and scenarios.
Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose.
Actually 'Soon' has more than the Left Behind series, but I really believe less is more.
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.
