Tales for the Thrifty Barbarian: An Anthology of High Fantasy and three short stories in Light at the Edge of Darkness. His Christian cyberpunk novel Flashpoint will be

readers. This "Lost Genre" remains very controversial in the Christian Fundamentalist community and Frank Creed and other authors of Christian Speculative Fiction
are the new kids on the block. They will likely spread the Christian message to a greater number of people because they are willing to follow His voice and use the
gifts He has given. To this end, Frank has created the "Lost Genre Guild" an organization to help promote Biblical speculative fiction and assist fans in locating the
best in the genre." Learn more about the Lost Genre Guild at www.lostgenreguild.com.

Christian Parents can use music, movies, and rpgs as teaching tools
We can no longer flee the Biblical command to be in the world but not of it. Since we’re
stuck here, what do Christian children think when we allow them to watch Cinderella,
Snow White, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, then curse Harry Potter? Why
is Star Wars okay, but Isaac Asimov bad, and why on Earth do Christians file Role-Playing-
Games in the same mental box as Ouija boards? With this kind of confusion, how will they
be equipped to make proper distinctions when encountering the mysterious?

Is the fall of the U.S. Imminent?
In this MTV age children are becoming socialized to profanity and pornography and its very
mention carries no shock value, only acceptance. Is this the fault of the MTVs of the world
or do parenting skills need addressing? Is this acceptance a further sign of the decay of
U.S. society?

The Rise of Christian Speculative Fiction
Everyone has heard of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Name three more authors of
Christian spec fiction published since Lewis. Stephen Lawhead. Frank Peretti. Ted Dekker.
Here is where the average reader's list usually ends. However, good news, there are
dozens of new Christian spec-fiction authors; the problem is visibility. But that is changing.

The Christian Right's Flawed Golden Compass Campaign
-The big furor over Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials fantasy series is fueled by the release
of The Golden Compass, the movie, released in December 2007. Many of the Christian Right

the movie and books. When will we learn this strategy doesn't work?

Checking the Foundations of the United States
Future acts of terrorism and use-of-force by law enforcement will test the strength of our
current cultural foundation. Future states-of-emergency like Koresh, McVeigh, and 9-11s
could place our country in a police state.
