Firebird (Book Review)

» cmborris - Excellent

Christopher,

I know you online and thought I'd stop by. This is a very well-written, informative article. I was not aware of this genre. I read some SF but this is new to me. Thanks for opening my eyes to another area.

Thanks for dropping by, Cynthia. It will be interesting to see how Christian SF progresses overall. Firebird is an excellent read and I am sure that you would enjoy it. But since it was originally written as a straight SF novel and then reworked for Bethany House, it is easier for it to be subtle in its message.

I mentioned briefly the Left Behind series. This is a much more heavy-handed approach to religion through fiction, and as that series goes on it gets heavier and heavier -- and the storyline becomes less interesting. I have another book from Bethany House that I will be reviewing soon entitled Oxygen. This book may be a better test for the subgenre than Firebird is.

I hope you'll drop by again and join in more discussions. Thanks again for the compliments.
