Here is what a friend wrote: "I haven't read your article yet, but, in my humble opinion, a Christian novel is going to point to Christ, and an inspirational novel will usually point to the 'good' in people or other uplifting, feel-good, motivational venue to self."<br /><br />I think I agree with her. That's not to say that I don't like inspirational. I love Christian books, and I like a good inspirational read because it is clean and usually uplifting without too much preaching.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190011785450338206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389739764142528890.post-79434611994380190122011-06-14T17:43:41.550-05:002011-06-14T17:43:41.550-05:00I think there are some people who make a distincti...I think there are some people who make a distinction, but I am not one of them. I use the terms interchangeably. <br /><br />But I've heard that Inspirational also covers the up and coming market of Mormon fiction, so there's an example of how they're not the same.<br /><br />Some people think inspirational is less blatent with the faith element.Joy Tamsin Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559855237654982212noreply@blogger.com
