Folks, if you like fantasy and dragons in the tradition of Anne McCaffery, you need to check out her DragonSpell series.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the vote of confidence on Leaps of Faith. There are several more reviews on Amazon, and none of them detected a so-called Catholic bias. <BR/><BR/>When it was an e-book, we had a review that started "I did not want to review this book. I am an atheist and I hate science fiction." She then went on to say how the book surprised her with its fantastic storytelling and gave it 4 stars (her max rating.) It was my favorite review that year. Sadly, I lost the copy and it's no longer on the net, but I'll never forget it, because it tells me how talented writers can cross boundaries.Karina Fabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937791512486438983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35849088.post-25372034516885962402008-11-05T17:20:00.000-08:002008-11-05T17:20:00.000-08:00Thank you for pointing out that the stories are no...Thank you for pointing out that the stories are not all Catholic-based -- not that it would matter to me if they were. <BR/><BR/>I came here after reading a 3* review at Amazon. It seems that the review garnered this rating because "My only problem with this anthology is that uncomfortable feeling that the Catholics are the only people of God."<BR/><BR/>I am disappointed that the writer chose to base the review, not on the literary merit of the book, but on an apparent religious-based bias.<BR/><BR/>Imagine the furor that would ensue if someone gave Donita Paul, Ted Dekker, Wanda Brunstetter a so-so rating and said that they felt uncomfortable that the authors seemed to be promoting a protestant point of view.<BR/><BR/>c<BR/><BR/>P.S. I am not Catholic -- but I sometimes wonder if I missed the boat somewhere along the line. I'll have to look more closely at these Christians.cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514785429568086047noreply@blogger.com
