until recently, i was one of the ones stating that "christian fiction" is an oxymoron. i felt it was in the same category as "christian music" or "christian television." 

but i was wrong.  lauren winner came to our church for a weekend retreat/workshop a little over a eyar ago, and she suggested authors and books in the "christian" category of fiction. i've read a few and i can safely say that there is such a thing as a great work of christian fiction.

i found a blog holding something called the "christy challenge" based on this year's awards given to christian books - non-fiction and fiction.

here is the definition of the challenge. join in!

i am also about 50% of the way through my list of books for the spring reading thing, which is due to "close" on the last day of spring - this month! yikes! the warm weather keeps me from reading too much (as do three buys little boys!), but i will report on the books i'm reading and almost finished with at the end of the challenge.

You know I'm not a big reader, but you also know how much I love Joyce Meyer, and she's just released her first fiction work this week, a novel called "The Penny". I don't know if it's great or not, but Joyce is amazing in my book, and I'm actually going to see her tomorrow for a book signing for this new novel, so I thought I'd toss the title out for everyone. (Wow! I had something to contribute to a reading topic! ;-p)
