Life-Transforming Fiction

Real-Life Example of Life-Transforming Fiction at Work

In My Life Unscripted (Thomas Nelson), author Tricia Goyer courageously wrote fictional mini-scripts of some of her own most intimate struggles from her teenage years. Its powerful, life-changing message touched my heart.

I decided to test the material on a teenage girl from my youth group. I asked Anjulie to read the book and then write a short script of her own. She even agreed to a short interview!

Christian Fiction on a Mission: How One Teen Found Dee Henderson...in Africa

Hi, my name is Hannah. I’ve pretty much always been an avid reader. I started reading adult fiction a while ago, but I really got into it the fall of sixth grade. My family moved to Africa, and I was allowed to bring only two footlockers on the plane. They couldn’t weigh more than seventy pounds each, which meant a definite limit on my supply of books.

The Book Matchmaker

I need to state clearly, right from the beginning, I don’t believe in astrology, numerology, anemology, or most of the other -ologies. But I do believe in something I like to call cartology.

Here’s how it works: I can walk through a store and by just viewing the contents of people’s carts, I can predict what books they need. I actually see myself as a Book Matchmaker.

Don’t believe me? Let me give an example or two.

I see a woman walking through Wal-Mart; her cart is over three-quarters full. She’s got two packages of diapers (different sizes), four types of macaroni and cheese, Puppy Chow, carpet spot remover, and a home perm kit. I can tell you exactly what kind of books this woman needs.
