Creating a Christian Fiction Review Canon

When we are on one accord the Lord moves. This morning, as I did my usual routine(reading news feeds, preparing which chapters to write, organizing my book reviews to post,) I read four blogs discussing the importance for critical Christian Fiction Reviews:

1. Brandywine Books

2.Semicolon

3. Cerulean Sanctum

4. Gaddabout

J. Mark spoke on this last Month as well. And I think about it often. If there was a critical Christian Fiction Review Canon what should it consist of?

As a critical book reviewer and commercial book reviewer, I think it should take the best of both reviews plus couple it with some christian ethics, if there is such a thing. Let me give an example, and then you can comment here or on your own blog what kind of review standard you think is necessary.

Dee's Christian Fiction Review Canon

1. Must possess a brief synopsis(one paragraph) of the review, whereby the review does not tale the ending, but leaves the hook intact.

2. Must possess a five point literary critique:
(theme/conflict, style&flow, character development, structure/plot, content)

3. Must contain an extra critique of the story's quality. Despite the literary elements is this story fluid? Is it good despite the flat dialogue?

4. Methods to improve if any

5. A final critique of whether the novel successfully depicts a Christian view(trinity, faith)

Instead of a five star system it should be seven or three?

Writing to see what the end's gon' be,
