Christian Fiction record broken!

Until this month, I've had a preconception about Christian fiction, namely the page count of your average mainstream CBA-approved book. When I would go through any lengthy-looking book, either in a library's Christian section or in a Christian store, I would be disappointed to find none longer than 500 pages.
As a reader of epic stuff, I really enjoy a longer-than-average book. I can enjoy a 3-400 page book well, but I love my stories long, full of sovereign mythos. Unless you go with an omnibus, you wouldn't find a book like that.
Until now.
Jill Williamson will be releasing, on January 31st, a book through CBA giant Bethany House a book that is over 600 pages.
Finally! A decent reading challenge!

Hopes for 2017

Last year was... how do I put it politely? A total travesty! Globally, there was so much violence and illicit trafficking. Nationally, this nation lost all integrity with its choice of leadership (long before election season) and we've become divided over the trivial factor of skin color.
When did we take the anti-enlightened step backward to our dark history of racial segregation?
Personally, I've looked at my last paystub from Little Caesar's, still can't believe how much I wasted. Could've cleared a couple debts, got a new laptop, AND a new pair of glasses (mine are getting scratched and the joints are a little loose). When better to start making personal changes than at the start of the year?
Hopefully, this year, I will have more than just book and film reviews. I'm considering making a YouTube Channel that will be Christian Apologetics with a big focus on literature, linguistics, and culture. Though, frankly, I'll need a team with me on that. Videographers, graphics designers, video editors, etc. I have zero experience in those fields, sadly. Anyone want to join?
