My thoughts on writing fantasy and how Lord of the Rings can teach you how.

📚 Mastering Point of View in Christian Writing 📚 As Christian authors, we aim to craft stories that resonate deeply and authentically. One of the most powerful tools in our writing toolbox? Point of View (POV). The perspective we choose can change everything, from how readers connect with our characters to how they experience the spiritual journey we’re trying to convey. I recently explored the four main types of POV—first person, third person omniscient, third person limited, and second person—and how each can uniquely shape a story's impact. Understanding these can help us make intentional choices about perspective, creating narratives that aren’t just read, but felt. Whether you’re working on a novel or a devotional, knowing the right POV can add depth and a powerful, personal touch to your writing. Are you intentional about the POV in your work?
