On this episode of RRP we make our case for why Christians NEED to be reading fiction. 1. God is a storyteller. 2. We are story people. 3. To cultivate evangelical dexterity. 4. To cultivate an artistic palette because good art REFORMS culture!

Joshua's Recommendations:
- East of Eden - John Steinbeck

- Dracula - Bram Stoker
- Watership Down - Richard Adams
- Lonesome Dove - Larry Mcmurrty
(Joshua's Bonus' because it's my podcast)
- Red Rising - Pierce Brown - (my all-time favorite modern sci-fi)
- Hyperion - Dan Simmons

- All Lewis' Fiction. Every. Single Book.
- Of course LOTR
Honestly I could keep going, but this is a good start.
