Today's idle wandering landed me in a large bookstore.  One of the categories listed atop three sections of shelving intrigued me:  Christian Fiction.  What is "Christian fiction"?  Besides the bible?

I should have investigated further but the thought of how curious that was did not strike me until after I had left.

This seems to be a good explanation: http://sheaves.org/fiction/index.html

Thank you. That's not as ridiculous as I suspected it might be. I envisioned the bulk of it being fiction that completely omits anything unsavory or that would promote any other sort of worldview that doesn't fall in line with the way Christians think the world works.

A really good example of bad xtian fiction is the "Left Behind" series. I understand its very popular with the millenialists. They're holding out for the end of the world, someday.
