Why I Started Writing Christian Prophecy Fiction
I woke up at 3 AM with my heart pounding, the images still vivid behind my closed eyes. In the dream, I’d seen a world teetering on the edge of something momentous—a collision between ancient prophecy and modern chaos. But what struck me most wasn’t the drama or the supernatural elements. It was the ordinary people caught in the middle, wrestling with faith, doubt, and impossible choices.
That night changed the trajectory of my writing career forever.
When Faith Meets Fiction: My Journey Begins
For years, I’d been writing stories that explored the human condition, but something felt incomplete. I grew up in a household where Bible prophecy was not discussed around the dinner table with the same intensity others might debate sports or politics. Books like Left Behind lined our shelves, and conversations about end times, biblical prophecy, and God’s plan for humanity were still woven into the fabric of my childhood.
Yet as an adult, I noticed a gap in Christian prophecy fiction. Many books offered either pure entertainment or heavy-handed theology, but few bridged the space between compelling storytelling and authentic spiritual exploration. I wanted to write stories that honored both the mystery of biblical prophecy and the complexity of real human experience.
Why Christian Prophecy Fiction Matters Now
We live in uncertain times. Turn on the news, and you’ll see headlines that echo ancient warnings—wars, natural disasters, technological upheaval, and moral confusion. People of faith naturally ask: What does this mean? Are we living in prophetic times? How should we live if we are?
Christian prophecy fiction creates a safe space to explore these questions through story. It allows readers to:
- Process anxiety about current events through the lens of faith and biblical truth
- Explore complex theological ideas without feeling lectured or overwhelmed
- Experience hope even in narratives about challenging times
- Connect with characters who struggle with the same doubts and questions they face
Fiction has always been humanity’s way of making sense of the incomprehensible. When we wrap prophecy in story, we make the abstract tangible and the distant immediate.
The Story Behind the Stories
My approach to writing Christian prophecy fiction is deeply personal. I don’t claim to have all the answers about end times theology—scholars far more learned than I still debate the details. Instead, I write about people navigating faith in extraordinary circumstances.
After that pivotal dream, I began researching biblical prophecy with fresh eyes. I studied Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and the prophetic words of Jesus. But I also studied people—how they respond to crisis, how faith sustains or fails them, how ordinary individuals become extraordinary when circumstances demand it.
My first manuscript took three years to complete. I rewrote the opening seventeen times because I wanted readers to feel immediately invested, regardless of their theological background. I interviewed pastors, theologians, and everyday believers about their understanding of prophecy. Most importantly, I prayed constantly that God would use these stories for His purposes, not mine.
Writing Characters Who Feel Real
One principle guides everything I write: prophecy happens to people, not abstractions.
In my books, you won’t find cardboard cutouts representing theological positions. You’ll meet a single mother trying to protect her children while the world unravels. A pastor whose faith is tested when prayers seem to go unanswered. A skeptic who can no longer deny what’s unfolding before his eyes. A young woman discovering that her purpose is far greater than she ever imagined.
These characters wrestle with real questions:
- How do I maintain faith when everything I know is falling apart?
- What does it mean to trust God when the future looks terrifying?
- Can I make a difference when events seem beyond human control?
The Power of Prophetic Fiction
Christian prophecy fiction does something unique—it makes the distant future feel personally relevant. When readers experience prophecy through characters they care about, abstract concepts become urgent realities. The mark of the beast isn’t just a theological puzzle; it’s a choice that could separate families. The tribulation isn’t merely a timeline debate; it’s a crucible that tests every assumption about faith and survival.
But here’s what matters most: these stories always point toward hope.
Yes, my books explore dark themes and challenging scenarios. Prophecy itself often deals with judgment and upheaval. But woven through every narrative is the golden thread of God’s sovereignty, His love for humanity, and the promise of redemption. I write about the refining fire because I believe in what emerges from the flames.
For Readers Seeking More Than Entertainment
If you’re drawn to Christian prophecy fiction, you’re likely someone who thinks deeply about your faith. You don’t just want to be entertained—you want stories that challenge, inspire, and illuminate truth.
An Invitation to Journey Together
Writing Christian prophecy fiction has become more than a career—it’s a calling. Every time a reader tells me that one of my books helped them understand Revelation differently, or strengthened their faith during difficult times, or simply made them think more deeply about God’s plan, I’m reminded why that 3 AM dream mattered.
These stories aren’t predictions or theological treatises. They’re explorations. They’re “what if” scenarios grounded in biblical truth and human reality. They’re my attempt to honor both the mystery of God’s prophetic word and the dignity of people trying to live faithfully in uncertain times.
If you’ve ever wondered what biblical prophecy might look like when it collides with real life, if you’ve ever wanted to explore end times theology through compelling characters rather than dry exposition, or if you simply love stories that challenge your thinking while affirming your faith, then I write for you.
