I didn't know where to throw this question, but I figured that this place would be more understanding of the Christian book market.
It seems to me, and I could be a hundred percent wrong, that there isn't much of a place for a book of a worldly, sinful person who fails miserably, then comes to Christ and does a 180.
Meaning, there aren't strong Christian elements in the novel until the ending when s/he sees the error of his ways and his need for Christ.
Problem is, a secular market doesn't want a book that has a strong Christian influence, which it would to the end.
The Christian market doesn't want book that extols the life of a secular no-gooder for more than half the book.
Did that make sense? What are your thoughts on this? Is something like I'm thinking even marketable? It wouldn't be a memoir, just the failings of your average Joe until he realizes his need for a Savior.
