Genre Bending

In the publication world, marketers want books to fit in neat, little genre boxes. This makes them easier to both shelve and sell. If you’ve written a “Christian novel,” there best be a conversion in the third act. If you’ve written something with a romantic subplot, but that’s not the focus of your book, how do you classify it? Where do you shelve a book that mingles literary fiction, horror, fan Read more of this blog post »

booklady Have you ever heard the song with these words?

"Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours...
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now."

It's by John Michael Talbot and I've found where you can download it but I'm just too technologically ignorant to know how! The song, however, is beautiful!

God bless, booklady
