Show, Don't Preach

Some writers think they have to put a salvation scene in every book they write. What they don’t realize is that making their books too similar can make the scene a cliché instead of an emotional turning point for the character.

Good guys have to seem real to the reader or the novel gets abandoned.

If the protagonist finds someone who needs God, she doesn’t necessarily preach to them. She might show God’s love without words. God speaks through actions too.

I’ve written more on the best kind of evangelism at my Seek God With Me blog. Check it out and see if you agree with me.
