Kristin Lavransdatter, Part 2 – The Spiritual Practice of Reading

The need we have for story to shape us and not simply gratify us has inspired me to help shape the perspective Christians have toward fiction through conversation linking fictional stories we read to our spiritual formation and transformation into Christlikeness. What if we thought about and read fiction differently? What if instead of using it simply as either a means of escape from reality or to gratify ourselves with a good story we let it change us from the inside out? Story can impact our spiritual journey if we let it. That’s what Fiction that Forms Us is all about. We see fiction as valuable, not just in its artistic form but also in its function in our world and lives. If we are open, fiction can be not only formational but also transformational. It can inspire, beckon, and lead us to transformation.
