Do You Read Christian Fiction?

Bookish Question #26 | Do You Read Christian Fiction?

Do you read Christian fiction, general market fiction, or both?

A lot of people who read general market fiction (including Christians) don’t realise Christian fiction is a thing. If that’s you, let me assure you Christian fiction is a thing. Here in New Zealand, it’s mostly sold in Christian bookshops, but I do sometimes see it in the big box stores.

In the US, it’s often found in major stores such as Walmart, Target, and in the religious section of Barnes & Noble (if you can find one). And you can find it online—Amazon has a huge selection.

I read both, but if you follow this blog or follow me on Goodreads, you’ll know I mostly read Christian fiction. But I do read some general market fiction as well … but the writing has to be good.

I prefer Christian fiction because it reflects my faith and values, and means I’m less likely to end up yelling at the characters for doing dumb things. I know Christians sometimes do dumb things, but not the same kind of dumb. I do have some issues with some Christian fiction … but I think that might be a different question.
