Personal Narrative: Christian Fiction

Decent Essays
I was always telling stories, when I was a little girl. My parents would ask, “and then what?”, whenever it seemed one of my stories was coming to an end. This question encouraged me to find creative ways to prolong my stories. I am grateful to my parents for cheering me on in this way. I believe God has given me the gift of storytelling. Although I have written off and on over the years, I have been more committed to writing in the last year. I believe writing Christian fiction is the best way to tell the stories God has laid on my heart. While I pray God would use these stories to reach the unsaved, I believe my primary audience is the young adult Christian reader. I desire to share stories of encouragement that will reinforce Christian

    It says in the book of acts that "and they said, believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, And thy house" (act 16:31, KJV). Looking back on my passed five years of knowing Jesus I would describe it as a rollercoaster ride. Back in sixith grade I was going through a transition from Crosswalk to Hang time, Elementary School to middle school, and ultimately finding who I was and knowing Jesus. It was my 2011 Hangtime Winter Whiteout when I accepted Jesus into my life. Every year we do this thing called " Cry Night " that Winter Whiteout in particular we watched clips from "The Passion of Christ " and it was to the song " How He Loves " by David Crowder.…

    There are many stories told in my family. Anyone and everyone told them, some nights it would be my mom and other nights it would be my grandpa. There would always be two stories read; the first one would be from a book called “My Book of Bible Stories”. This book has so many pictures asks questions has descriptive words and is still one of my favorite books. After that story whoever was telling the story would make up a silly story usually about a blue or green man with a giraffe that went traveling and exploring (I have no clue why).…

    Many people don’t know what they want to be when they “grow up”, as for my mother she didn’t know what type of religion she wanted to be in when she “grew up”. However, she did know the basics that she believed in which was God, the Holy Spirit, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible that being said she considered herself Christian and raised me as a Non-Denominational Christian. That was until my senior year of High School when my mom decided she no longer wanted to be part of the Non-Denominational Christian faith and switched over to becoming part of the LDS faith known as the Mormons and flipped my life upside-down with their different views of norms and values. Growing up Non-Denominational Christian is fairly simple faith and to me…

    Children’s stories make up for the complexity of chapter books being read today. Whether we read or write, everything comes together through the imagination and integrity of our desires among the genres we have access to. In Kindergarten, reading as well as writing stood the main goal for me. As soon as the teacher announced about a story-teller arriving to our school library, Ecstasy began filling in the pit of my stomach. I absolutely loved when someone came to read to our class.…

    The tablet he'd slipped to the teen, combined with her already aroused state, appeared to have had the effect Adam desired, and his lips remained curled up in a satisfied smirk as he continued to film her cunt being pounded by the toy, and her eager teenage mouth working on Karl's cock. That smirk only grew as the line of men passed him, and a brief tension caused his body to stiffen as he awaited the opportunity to capture her reaction. "Gorgeous, Soph, so fucking hot, Damn, you're a natural." Even through his brief tensesness, he urged her on, and almost laughed aloud, when the toy slippsed from her dripping slit, and a second man thrust his digits inside her. " Live out your fantasies.…
