Wish Fullfillment Fiction
Kiera Knightly and Matthew Macfayden star in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.
Last year my F*i*F buddies and I shared a discussion ruffly about the fluffiness of some Christian Fiction, particularly on the part of happy endings. We questioned whether Christian fiction needed happy endings, since our stories were ultimately happy endings. God always wins.

The Covenant w/Black America
The Covenant with Black America is the #1 book sold on Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes & Noble, and Books A Million websites. You may have a challenge picking the book up at your local bookstore, because most stores didn't stock very many and they are flying off the shelves. This book was published by the oldest African-American publisher, Third World Press. If you haven't ordered your copy, you can order it here or through Third World Press or Amazon or your local bookstore. B's Books and More here in Atlanta has it. They have a website as well. Proceeds of this book goes to supporting Third World Press, a landmark company and institution that will(finally!!) start accepting manuscripts in July 2006. Let me remind you that the great Walter Moseley, Gwendolyn Brooks, Gloria Naylor and Derrick Bell have written for Third World. Wow!

Today's Christian Fiction News:
Blessed by faith, authors feel moved to share it
By KATIE HAHN for The State
Staff Writer
Authors Lynne Hinton[The Arms of God] and Michelle Buckman[A Piece of the Sky]discuss how they use perseverance and faith to become published authors.
Sounds like something I've heard many times before from other authors, including secular authors. But what surprised me was that both authors were using pen names to write mystery novels for secular publishers.

Madea's BuzzSwell
Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion Movie has enormous groundswell and buzz. I've termed this blessing, BuzzSwell. When a good movie that celebrates Christ, infuzes a little gospel truth about God and the Black Family it deserves all the talk that it is getting. If you haven't been a part of the BuzzSwell here's your chance to see more cast members talk about the movie before it's release this Friday. Also check out my buddy, Wilson Morales exclusive clip of the movie by clicking on the movie poster. And I want to know from you? Are you going to see Madea this Friday night?
To get the media calendar click and hear about these two covers for Essence Magazine on GospelFiction.
