I've got Frank Peretti's "Monster" on my TBR shelf and have recently learned that he styles himself as a "Christian author" (as distinguished somehow from the millions of other authors who are likely Christians, but don't make a big deal about it.)

Can someone who's read "Monster" tell me if Christianity is a big part of it?

Thanks,

Bob

no Christianity is not a big part of the book, pretty small part actaully. I liked that book and thought it was a good read.

Yeah, so far it isn't at all "Christian"; it's hardly deathless literature, either.

I have this book on my shelf but was wondering the same thing before reading it. Thanks for clearing this up!!!

Christa:)

I will take any book on my wishlist in any condition as long as they are readable

I haven't read Monster, but I've read several of this other books.  While he is, by default, a "Christian" author, his books are quite creepy and fun.

I'm agreement with all of you. I enjoyed it as well.

Me too - I read it in a single day (long car ride)!  I just got House in a swap, and am looking forward to reading it.  It seems like his earlier books (Piercing the Darkness, etc.) were more "Christian", as they dealt with angels and such. 

ETA:  I recently listened to The Oath on audio, and really liked that one, too.  It dealt with sin, in a very interesting manner.

After I finished the book, I found out he was a christian writer, I had no idea. Its a real good read!

If you read his books before learning he was a Christian you would have no clue, or at least very little. I've read several of his books and was at first put off by the idea. I soon realized he was a good author. House in particular was very good.
