Sounds good. I think what you want to do can be done–I encourage you to keep praying, studying, and thinking about it–but it’s probably for the best you’re waiting on it. If lots of Christians turn to fiction to evangelize and the majority of them don’t prioritize their art to the point where they and those who know what good art looks like feel good about it, people won’t read Christian books. There goes the great opportunity everyone was so eager about! Also, it isn’t respectful and doesn’t reflect well on the gospel to sell readers a book they thought would entertain them, but doesn’t.

I also agree with Claire. Non-fiction is ripe with opportunity. All you need is two things:

1. A winsome style
2. A killer hook. For instance, there’s this evangelistic booklet called What Time is Purple? I’ve only read a little bit, but I couldn’t resist at least picking it up! Because, seriously, WHO DOESN’T NEED TO KNOW WHAT TIME PURPLE IS?

You get people to look at your title/cover/description and think “That looks crazy. I have to read that.” And then you write winsomely and they’ll read the whole thing, even if they didn’t think they’d like a book from your viewpoint.

And there are all sorts of different communication venues. YouTube, what not. Seriously man, choose whatever suits your natural gifts best and go crazy.
