Any book’s a Christian book;
it depends on how you read it.
A heart for God, that’s all it took
for the aroma that it needed.
A math text can point the way
to the wonders of Creation,
and the Constitution has it say
in Judeo-Christian foundation.
Christ-life isn’t in the words
that are written on the page
but in the soul’s turning towards
an escape from sin’s dark cage.
Many a heathen book I’ve read;
the author know not to Whom it led!
Excellent interchange for us Christian writers of work that might or might not be considered Christian. It is like a preliminary discussion–a warm-up–for a talk on hermeneutics and higher criticism. Give us a follow-up, please!
Very interesting discussion! My non-fiction book being released later this year targets more than one audience (Christian and otherwise), even though it contains scripture, biblical principles and prayer.
