I've not seen such challenges placed before writers of other genre. It is not because Christianity is the only religion that has been openly legislated by law. OOOh did I say that out loud?<br /><br />Currently I'm working on a project that my peers have suggested would be better received if I did not place emphasis on the 'Christian' aspect. I will continue according to the vision given me and whosoever will, let them come.<br /><br />Linda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206024054687956964.post-2020454734360659332010-12-13T03:11:26.358-05:002010-12-13T03:11:26.358-05:00Kendra, it's just another one of those attempt...Kendra, it's just another one of those attempts by people to separate everything and everyone into tight, neat, definable boxes. It's how we get racism, sexism, and nearly every other "ism" you can think of. When you think about it, it's nothing but ignorance and small-minded thinking. <br /><br />The next time you're asked this, sis, you should turn the question around and say, "Ok, so just because I am black, does that mean that I only listen to "black" music, read books by black authors, wear only clothing designed by blacks, and only have black friends?" It is one of my academic goals to challenge the "isms" because I think it's just this type of social thinking that says to people, "Oh, you only belong here. You can't cross the line and go there." Chile please!

I have had to defend ministry marketing...AS if the internet is all bad etc.<br /><br />It is a tool for promotion, preaching, writing, and yes, profit.<br /><br />Provision for the vision!<br /><br />I love Christian fiction...the ministry of writing fiction!<br /><br />Karen Kingsbury is one author I'm reading. Her writing ministry has deeply moved me, touched my heart, inspired me to be a better wife, mom, person...<br /><br />Need I say more.<br /><br />So dear Kendra...write on sistah...write on....your ministry is changing lives. Don't let the resistance stop you. Use it to build your faith muscles.<br /><br />God bless you!<br /><br />Theresa<br />http://MarketPlanMinistry.comMinistry Marketing Strategieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833285759473301808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1206024054687956964.post-64566215388847582052010-12-10T22:39:03.693-05:002010-12-10T22:39:03.693-05:00Go ahead and vent Kendra!!

I'm like you're not a true reader then because you really need to read outside of the box. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking those who read mystery or erotica. I'm just knocking the fact that they're trying to broaden their horizon. <br /><br />Kendra, keep writing and I will keep supporting by buying, reading and recommending.Yolandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939299358005215882noreply@blogger.com
