Paint Real Pictures of Real Struggles to Engage Your Reader

Michelle McKinney Hammond stops by Christian Fiction Blog to answer our spring 1Author Interview Question:

How do you engage your reader?

He[Christ] painted real pictures of real struggles that we can still relate to today and shared how the characters conflicts were solved so that we could learn from example. I think good Christian fiction does the same thing.

In my new novel, Playing God, I wanted people to get a coherent visual of what happens when we take our own lives into our own hands without partnering with God to achieve a victorious end to our personal dramas.

We are all guilty of playing God at some point in time. Whether reacting to a situation that we believe we can fix, trying to fix others, wreaking havoc out of revenge or trying to protect someone beyond our human jurisdiction we've been there done that and have the bruises to show for it. Hopefully these women stories will inspire readers to take a look at their own responses to issues that tempt them to take over rather than letting go and letting God work it out.
