That's a great question. Is it possible to separate our faith and our values from our writing? If I tried to keep my values out of my writing, then I wouldn't feel I was being true to myself. But, as writers, we need to be aware of the risk you describe. The story has to be authentic.

I wrote 'Escape to Redemption' to entertain readers; to captivate their imagination. If the novel also encourages people to reflect on their own values, that's great. But I haven't sought to provide ready answers or to advocate any particular belief system. For me, faith is a very personal thing.

Good luck with your writing. Have you come across the Association of Christian Writers (ACW)?(less)

A Rule for Living

One saying attributed to Jesus is: “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” (John 15:4) I interpret this teaching to be about staying in touch with our true eternal Self, ‘that of God’ within, and allowing the Inner Light to guide us.

Historically, monastic communities have lived by a Read more of this blog post »

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman

“What matters is not what we do, or to whom we give. What matters is that we let our lives be guided by Love.”
Peter M Parr

“Joy is peace dancing. Peace is joy at rest.”
Frederick Brotherton Meyer

Simone Weil
“There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius. They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.”
Simone Weil

“Life is meant to be lived from a Center, a divine Center…Life from the Center is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is simple. It is serene. It is amazing. It is triumphant. It is radiant. It takes no time, but it occupies all our time. And it makes our life programs new and overcoming. We need not get frantic. He is at the helm. And when our little day is done we lie down quietly in peace, for all is well.”
