Whenever I read a book by a Black author, both secular and Christian, I always put it aside to give to a friend of mine. She tells me that she only reads books by Black authors. I’ve read several authors over the years, of different races, that I think are truly phenomenal. When I try to recommend a book by an author of another race, she refuses to read it.
I just feel that it’s closed-minded to be that way. I’ve been reading books since I don’t know when, especially fiction. When I was growing up, there were not that many Black authors around who wrote popular fiction. So, if I had not been open-minded enough to read the White authors, I wouldn’t have had anything to read during those long boring summers, since I read books so quickly it was like I was inhaling them!
I would anxiously wait once every two weeks to hear that loud honking horn of the bookmobile that would pull up in the front section of my neighborhood. I would glance through the titles, choosing enough books to fill the next fourteen days! I had a fondness for romance novels, however, I gave just about any type of fiction a chance.
I believe the explosion of Black fiction started around the time Terry McMillan’s book Waiting To Exhale was released. I think it was around that time that publishers realized that Black people read books too, and this was an untapped market that needed to be conquered. If I don’t have my facts straight, feel free to comment so that I can correct this blog entry.
I try and support other Black Christian fiction authors by putting them together on the website, www.blackchristianfiction.com However, I don’t limit my reading tastes to the people listed on my Black Christian Fiction website. I have Black authors who are my favorites and I have some white authors who I think are fabulous. As a matter of fact, I have some of the White authors listed on my website, giving them as examples of people to read when one wants to target the Christian fiction genre for publication.
I don’t think that God wants us to read books by only people of a certain race. If you see a book by someone of another race, feel free to give it a try. You just might like it! You can always put it down and not finish it if it doesn’t entertain you!
Until next time,

7 I have been truly with them. And do thou write for thyself all these words which I declare unto, thee this day, for I know their rebellion and their stiff neck, before I bring them into the land of which I sware to their fathers, to Abraham and to Isaac and to Jacob, saying: ‘ Unto your seed
8 will I give a land flowing with milk and honey. And they will eat and be satisfied, and they will turn to strange gods, to (gods) which cannot deliver them from aught of their tribulation: and this witness shall be heard for a witness against them. For they will forget all My commandments, (even) all that I command them, and they will walk after the Gentiles, and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and will serve their gods, and these will
10 prove unto them an offence and a tribulation and an affliction and a snare. And many will perish and they will be taken captive, and will fall into the hands of the enemy, because they have forsaken My ordinances and My commandments, and the festivals of My covenant, and My sabbaths, and My holy place which I have hallowed for Myself in their midst, and My tabernacle, and My sanctuary, which I have hallowed for Myself in the midst of the land, that I should set my name
11 upon it, and that it should dwell (there). And they will make to themselves high places and groves and graven images, and they will worship, each his own (graven image), so as to go astray, and they
12 will sacrifice their children to demons, and to all the works of the error of their hearts. And I will send witnesses unto them, that I may witness against them, but they will not hear, and will slay the witnesses also, and they will persecute those who seek the law, and they will abrogate and change
13 everything so as to work evil before My eyes. And I will hide My face from them, and I will deliver them into the hand of the Gentiles for captivity, and for a prey, and for devouring, and I will remove them from the midst of the land, and I will scatter them amongst the Gentiles.
14 And they will forget all My law and all My commandments and all My judgments, and will go
15 astray as to new moons, and sabbaths, and festivals, and jubilees, and ordinances. And after this they will turn to Me from amongst the Gentiles with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their strength, and I will gather them from amongst all the Gentiles, and they will seek me so
16 that I shall be found of them, when they seek me with all their heart and with all their soul. And I will disclose to them abounding peace with righteousness, and I will remove them the plant of uprightness, with all My heart and with all My soul, and they shall be for a blessing and not for
17 a curse, and they shall be the head and not the tail. And I will build My sanctuary in their midst, and I will dwell with them, and I will be their God and they shall be My people in truth and
18, 19 righteousness. And I will not forsake them nor fail them; for I am the Lord their God.
now check this verse out they will walk after the Gentiles, and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and will serve their gods,
My Lord knew you would serve the god of the Gentiles, Yeshua (aka jesus) He knew before the earth and the heavens was created that you
would serve the God of the Gentiles, Yeshua (aka jesus) now check this out
