“For many Christian writers, telling a good story doesn’t seem to be enough. They want to evangelize, to teach and to fill their fiction with high moral purport, doctrine and direction. This all sounds quite noble, of course, except the purpose of fiction is not propaganda. The proper place for preaching is the pulpit, the evangelistic crusade or even the pages of the nonfiction book. Fiction is different. Fiction is story.”
