Keith Madsen is a new voice in inspirational fiction, writing fiction that lifts you up, but is not preachy; fiction that is Christian, but draws on the insights of other faiths; fiction where the characters are real, but who take on the biggest challenges of our world. Keith believes that inspirational fiction, to be truly inspirational, must first acknowledge the hard realities of life. In his books, as in life, people die, not just the evil people, the ones brought into being seemingly for the sole purpose of dying and validating a world of justice; but the good people as well -- children with cancer, kindly grandpas, leaders fighting crime and injustice. The inspirational aspect comes not from such deaths left as cold realities, but as they become seeds which lead to the renewal of life, or as Christians have always called it, to resurrection.
Keith writes fiction which combines some of the lyrical description of literary fiction with the plot-driven tensions of a thriller. While the central character in his novels is generally male, strong women also play important roles. You will find yourself really liking the people you meet on the journey.
In addition to inspirational fiction Keith also writes plays for church use and educational material for the use of small groups in churches. His church plays can be ordered on this site and will be sent to you free. Just follow the "Free Church Drama" link on this page. Keith also does pastoral counseling for the Bless Me Network (see www.blessmenetwork.com).
