Now here's a new fresh subject. Well-not really, there are maybe a
thousand or so articles in the past year alone on Faith. Is this a fresh
new approach? Probably not, but it occurred to me that if, from time to
time, I question the depth of my faith, then so do other Christian
writers.

Meaning of Faith to a Christian:
- Belief in Jesus Christ
- A relationship with God through Jesus
- Life in the spiritual dimension, trusting Christ to take control of your life.
- Taking God at His word and doing what He says, even when you do not understand all the implications.
- A journey that begins upon accepting Jesus, and continues until you see Him face-to-face in heaven.
I am a Christian Fiction writer. Fiction is a strange genre-it's real life with fuzzy edges. No style or beautiful prose in the world can replace emotion and texture. Yes, craft is important, but a reader turns the pages because he can smell pine scent on the air, or feel cold wind on his face. Maybe the reader knows what it feels like to see a pale face - that isn't there looking through a dark window.
I became a Christian late in life. I spent many years writing my first novel before deciding to place the word Christian before the word Fiction after my name. Jacqueline McGuyer--Christian Fiction Author. Thank God that first novel never saw publication (not for the lack of trying), God is good. It took more years before my manuscript was "born again". Blood Secrets is my first book, published by Wings e-Press.
What does all this have to do with Faith? Let's see if I can sum this up in 5000 words or less.
