I don’t know if there is a specific subject or theme I would like to see more often.

What I would like to see more diverse Christian fiction.

I would like to see Christian fiction set in countries other than the USA and historical England. (I do know of a fair few stories set in Australia, probably because I know so many Australian Christian authors.)

I would like to see more Christian fiction from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) authors. The 2021 Christy Awards have introduced the Christy Own Voice Award, a new award for a BIOPIC author, and that’s a great encouragement.

I would like to see more books set in contemporary England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

I would like to see more novels set in Europe—historical and especially contemporary Europe.

I would love to see more books set in Africa, India, and Asia.

I would love to see characters who aren’t like me, and to understand how they become Christians and how they live as Christians in countries that don’t have a Christian heritage.

Don’t get me wrong: I love my US Christian fiction. But Christian fiction is predominantly driven by evangelical American Christianity, and I would like to see something more.

I’d like to see Christian fiction that enlarges and challenges my world view and understanding of God, Jesus, and contemporary Christianity.

I’d like to see Christian fiction that shows God at work around the world.

What about you? Is there a subject or theme you’d like to see in a story?
