Using Creative Writing Skills to Recreate Soul-Fulfilling Messages From the Bible

Despite it being the best selling book of all time, there are still hundreds of thousands of individuals who have never made it past genesis. The Bible is more than a religious guide, it teaches us life lessons that have been useful to the human race since the dawn of man.

If you could find ways to incorporate some of the more meaningful passages and stories into real life scenarios, you could create a captivating book that teaches valuable lessons. This is not only an idea for self-help books, but for works of fiction that play out like a novel.

Take the tale of Sodom as an example. There are modern cities all over the world where breaking the commandments is not only accepted, it is encouraged. Places like Las Vegas where greed, promiscuity and gluttony reign king over the city. What if you were to create a story based here, using compelling characters from both sides of the coin to depict the struggle between good and evil? It has all the elements you need to create a gripping novella, and a similarity to Sodom that is undeniable.

If you wanted to start smaller, take just one passage and turn it into a short story or long article. You could do incredible writings just on the concept of your own body being God’s temple. Write a short story about discovering ways to stay healthy by respecting your own body, or an article on natural ways to preserve your appearance. You could write about embracing the golden years and preparing for them by sticking to products that God has provided us, such as konjac sponges. These come from the ground and have been proven to cleanse the face without having to resort to chemicals and harsh soaps.

The seven deadly sins have always intrigued me, and there was even a movie made based around them, so why not a book? Pick one, or the entire group and show how it applies in our modern world. Make sure that you show the consequences of committing these sins and how those consequences will trickle down into your entire life.

The main goal is to ensure that the message given in the bible comes across in the book. You don’t have to preach to make this possible, just use subtlety that pushes the readers mind into the right direction. The bible is still the greatest story ever told, and you can use it as a base to create your own.
