I aim to convey themes of hope in the midst of great sorrow and heartbreak. Courage in the face of evil, standing up for what's right and fighting for the ones you love.
I hope to express the ideas that, no matter what you're facing, there are things worth fighting for. Moreso, no matter how you feel, you have the strength to rise again and continue fighting.
These are all ideals and truths I pull from my faith, and in my aim to create God honoring fiction, these are truths I try to convey around the darker, heavier themes we so often encounter in this life. We live in a dark world, and we face great darkness everyday.
How we face it, and find courage in the fight, is one I believe can be conveyed through the journey of a life.
The strands of silver interwoven on a blackened cloth.
I have characters who are flawed, characters who fall, characters who lose hope. But we all do at some time or another, don't we? In the end, isn't it more important not how many times we fall, but how many times we rise again to keep fighting?
By the grace of God, we rise again, and while I don't write allegory, I write that strength and courage.
As C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien so often fought over, should a book necessarily be an allegory to be of worth? I land firmly on the side of Tolkien. :) Which is why I don't write allegories, I write concepts and ideas, themes of Christianity, if you will.
I know that I am not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm okay with that.
As always with my writing, my heart is to open the door for conversations about the one true source of hope in this life, Jesus Christ.
I've at last found peace in my convictions as a Christian author and my goal is always,
Soli Deo Gloria
With love and great gratitude,
-E.R. Brookes
