"Jeff Gerke is so full of great writing advice that you just want to beat him up for telling you things that would have been blindingly obvious...if you had 20 years of experience in writing fiction and if you thought long and hard about what you were doing. But you don't, and you didn't, so you won't."

Randall Ingermanson, "the Snowflake Guy,"
publisher of the Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine

Artist and Craftsman--as a Christian novelist, you're both.

You know the soaring creativity of the Creator and the serious discipline of the artisan. And you feel the impulse to excel in each.

So grab a steaming mug of your favorite hot drink and come learn the art and craft of Christian fiction from one of its master teachers.

You'll learn:

• How to find your story amidst all your ideas
• How to bring your characters onstage the first time
• How to convert your telling to showing
• How to handle profane characters in Christian fiction
• How to use the dumb puppet trick
• How to write for the (approving) Audience of One
• And much more.

The Art & Craft of Writing Christian Fiction is the complete school of fiction from Jeff Gerke, popular writer's conference teacher, professional book doctor, and Christian novelist. It includes and expands upon his influential Fiction Writing Tip of the Week column at WhereTheMapEnds.com.

"Chock full of practical tips that really work.� Read, absorb, practice, and get published."

James Scott Bell, winner of the
Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction

"There are writing books that wax long and eloquent on philosophy and art . . . and don't do the beginning writer one bit of practical good. Then there are writing books that provide nuts-and-bolts advice with plenty of examples and clear instruction. I learned how to write from books from the latter category--and Jeff Gerke's The Art & Craft of Writing Christian Fiction is a great example of a truly useful book. Enjoy!"

Dr. Angela Hunt, popular Christian fiction teacher
and author of more than 100 books.
