So, I've got this set of characters living their lives in my mind. They're not Christians in a certain sense. They're inquirers. They've heard the Good News but they're not "there" yet. One describes himself as a Messianic Jew. Another describes herself as an agnostic who'd like to hear a better explanation of how Jesus Christ is the Way etc.
Question revolves around: is it "okay" in a sense to write about these people? Most of the C-fic I've read starts with committed Christians and ends with those same people in basically the same place. Yeah, there's a faith journey of a sort, but if a character starts the journey as non-committed or an unbeliever, he is solidly On Our Side by the end.
I'm wondering if this "I'm still investigating" stance is part of the reason my indie books haven't sold as well as I'd hoped.
Thoughts?
