## Resource

Some people claim that fiction has little real world value, while others swear by its ability to open new worlds and even enhance one's spiritual journey. Can literature help you to read the Bible better? How can a reader avoid content that is not uplifting and fix their mind on heavenly things? We examine these questions and more with grad student and literature lover Caitlin Jankiewicz Ibbott joins us to talk about all things faith and fiction. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm and podcast Friday mornings.
