Pat Loomis coined a term "Christian Ghetto" that I am feening about over here(excuse my Jodeci's reference--a ghetto term, for wanting very much.)
Deep POV: Confessions of a Christian Writer: More on Crouch's Speech at CBA: "Yet, just as some Christians hang out in church on Sundays and Wednesdays, shop in Christian bookstores, visit Christian friends, drink cofee in Christian coffee shops, and generally never dip their toe into secular water, so we perpetuate that Christian ghetto by reading escapist Christian literature. Some of us never dream that we might find profound insight into the mind of Christ by reading something different. As if God is limited somehow as to how He might minister to us."
Faith in Fiction is also talking about this as well.
But I'm telling you read some novels written by African American Authors(Victoria Christopher Murray, Tia McCollors, plug plug) and you will see some real deal issues going on. I just reviewed Sacred Sons by Linda Hudson-Smith, girlfriend goes deep with the problems with young men today and how we, saved sisters condone it, Girl....:)
Writing to see what the end's gon' be,

I'm taking my own sermonic advice and rewriting the finished novel sitting in my closet needed a much needed second draft.
