Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short sci-fi stories using Christian worldviews, themes and messages. The old "Typical christian book" genre is being stretched and it's boundaries are being expanded by authors and editors like Karina and Robert Fabian and the other authors in this book. I like that. I like seeing what is happening to the industry, the way Christian authors are writing "cross-over" books that overlap Christian with other genres, in this case science fiction. I am a Christian myself, and an author who chooses to write books that cannot be pigeonholed into the "for Christians only" category. Who wants to preach to the choir?
The stories are all well written, it is good solid sci-fi from the get to the go. Well edited, attractively packaged, this book is a great read at a bargain price for all that you get. Buy it, no matter what your spiritual beliefs are.
I'm not sure what one other reviewer was complaining about the book being heavily slanted towards Catholicism being the one and only true path. I'm a Maverick, non-religious, dogma-free, non-denominational spiritualist Christian with a background in Zen training and Taoist studies, and I didn't feel like I was being preached at or trying to be converted at all.
