My Friend Amy has this wonderful weekly meme that just recently came back into play after a little time off due to life business. I can so relate to that! 🙂 So today I anxiously head over to Amy’s Blog to see what question she will post for us to ponder over today and she asks this:
Today’s Question
We mostly talk about Christian fiction during Faith’n’Fiction Saturday but I’m curious if you have ever read fiction of other faiths. I am not aware of a lot of fiction of other faiths like I am about Christian fiction, so this is a good time to chime in with anything you’ve read! If you are of another faith, maybe you can chime in and tell us about some options.
Honestly… I had to think on this one… have I read a fiction read on other faiths? I checked my book shelves and found that I had:
Kabul Beauty School (ISLAM) but it is non fiction
Reading Lolita in Tehran (ISLAM) also non fiction
I looked on line and was surprised that I did not really find any fiction reads in other faiths other than a few that were written for children. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong areas?
GAH! I think I am coming up empty. If any of you have read any faith and fiction reads that are not based on the Christina Faith, please stop over to My Friend Amy’s and add your link and/or your comments.
Book Journey 
This doesn’t answer the question, but I tend to not read Christian fiction or any other religious fiction books. That’s just me. That said, I’ve become addicted to Dekker. 😉
I enjoy Decker as well…. are you reading/audio booking his new one “Green” yet?
Many of the books I’ve read that deal with other faiths, do so more in the cultural effect of faith rather than the personal faith journey focus of much Christian fiction. I prefer to read a faith based book that shows how the faith influenced the course of the person’s life rather than one that is promoting a particular faith. Most that I have read that are pushing a faith are not that good and in some instances ludicrous in their plot lines and events.
Great thoughts on this Pat.
