Read M Liz Boyle’s interview and find out how Friedli’s spiritual journey through fear—evenContinue reading “Dystopia? From a Christian Perspective?”

Looking for More Books?

You might be in the market for more books. If that’s the case, Lou Allen of Christian Faith and Fiction has some ideas. I highly recommend reading The Wingfeather Saga, a middle-grade fantasy series by Andrew Peterson. They’re full of humor, adventure, and unique living beings like toothy cows.

White has written an adorable book called WhenContinue reading “Dogs in Space and Dragons in Bathtubs”
