I really appreciate everything that’s been said so far.

I really dislike SJW fiction, even when I happen to agree with the conclusions. It just feels snobby. But I appreciate what @taylorclogston said about positive forced diversity. For instance, my natural rut is to write male protagonists. Now, I positively object to the idea that writing exclusively male protagonists is hateful or immoral, but it is silly and uncreative so I’m trying to incorporate more female characters into my stories and I have one epic planned with a female lead and another shared between a couple.

But I can’t stop there. There are so many unique cultures I could represent, but don’t know how to.

So I guess here’s my question. Are there any Christian books that have blown you away with their handling of diversity? (I don’t have time for ones that did a good job, just the ones that did a really good job.)

I’d probably be most interested in unique cultures, LGBTQ, and the physically handicapped. I think mental issues would be easiest for me to understand since I’ve dealt with depression and some things like multiple personality disorder sound fairly intuitive.
