Will Holcomb (willholcomb) | 4 comments I am in the final stages of editing my first book and was trying to figure out if I can categorize it as Christian Fiction. I have read some different definitions. Some say, if it suitable for Christians (ie: no profanity, no sex scenes, etc), others seem to what it to be Bible based in some way. My story has no profanity or sex scenes, covers the concept of Christianity, but is not Bible thumping. The main character is an agnostic and at the end of the book he is further along spiritually but still has heavy questions. I would describe the book as "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" meets "Illusions" but I don't know what genre that is.

Mary Aris (thegoldenpen) | 21 comments It sounds like a spiritual genre to me.

Jenelle Maybe you could categorize it as "Inspirational"?
