G.P. Taylor, Dracula’s Former Vicar
I found this interview, courtesy of Phil Baker’s Blog. (Phil Baker was one of the speakers at ‘chute this year.)
Anyway, the guy interviewed is a vicar who wrote a book which is currently sitting in 2nd place in the British book charts, behind Harry Potter and whichever Blah Blah Blah.
Choice quote, from the author, about the film deal:
“I’ve even been told that it’s going to rival Left Behind. I’m not sure what Left Behind is, but whatever Left Behind is, apparently we’re going to rival it.�
It’s cool to see someone with their head screwed on getting into the whole magic/apocalypse/witchcraft/fantasy genres, and writing something that’s not preachy, but still shows God. (It’s a “secular� book)

Thats a real interesting interview. theres also a good one with Charlie Peacock in the music section (interesting when they start discussing the contemporary music industry and the christian music world. He has a lot of really good points.
Also, have you had a chance to read the G.P. Taylor book? it sounds quite interesting from the interview (as you would expect i guess)

Nup, haven’t read the book–hadn’t even heard of it before I read the interview.
It’s nice to see some balanced, heads-screwed-on Christians in the public eye for a change eh?
