Fireside Chat About Christian Characters in Sci-Fi
Join E. Stephen Burnett and Josiah DeGraaf for an engaging conversation about why we need more religious characters.

Why Do Readers Need Fantastic Stories about Christian Characters?
Most readers don’t want their fiction derailed by sermonizing. But authentic Christian characters in science fiction can provide a rare opportunity to explore common challenges Christians face in a fresh light.
If you’re curious to chat more about these kinds of books, you won’t want to miss this fireside chat with authors E. Stephen Burnett and Josiah DeGraaf at 7 PM EST on Friday, April 11th.
During this live Zoom event, they’ll discuss their favorite Christian characters in fantasy & sci-fi, explore why it’s helpful to read fantastical fiction with Christian characters, and answer audience questions.
