Thanks for writing. If you want to use the Life of Christ stories you will need to order one for each student from the States. Regular Baptist Press now offers them at the greatly reduced price of US$1 each. The Old Testament stories are free for anyone to use. When you print them, please put “by Deb Brammer” on every lesson. If you want to mention them in your blog you can give a link on your blog to my website. I would rather you link to my website than having the lessons in their entirety on your blog. Thanks for asking this question. I probably need to spell this out more clearly on my website.

Old El Paso taco seasoning mix no longer claims to be gluten free on the label, yet they don’t list wheat, barley, rye, or oats in their ingredients. My understanding is this: If a product from the US has wheat in it (except for meat) it must list wheat on the label, or any of the other top ten allergens. Since it doesn’t list any of these ingredients, it is safe for people on gluten free diets to eat it. If it is like Australia or New Zealand, in order to claim the gluten free label they have to have every batch tested, so most manufacturers don’t specify “gluten free” on their label even when it is perfectly safe to eat. I am told, however, that a very sensitive Celiac should choose products with the gluten free label. My husband is a Celiac, but he can eat products like this with no problem. If in doubt, check with your doctor or dietician.

You’re not missing anything. When it comes to adult fiction books I don’t know of anyone who narrows their market to fundamentalists. We won’t be able to include certain elements in of our novels, but I still believe we can write excellent, entertaining fiction with a strong message and find publishers. However, I always encourage writers who want to publish novels to start with articles and short stories for Christian publication. This allows you to develop your craft, build relationships with editors, and “pay your dues” as a Christian writer. Most book publishers would look for at least some publishing credits, maybe many, before they are ready to considering investing considerable money into a new novelist. That doesn’t make novel publication by a traditional publisher impossible, it just means that novels aren’t the first step toward publication.

Deb–

Happy to come across your site. I see we have some similar interests. I started writing puppet scripts for our small independent Baptist church while my husband was a pastor. When that ministry ended, I turned to writing fiction. In particular, inspirational adult mystery fiction.

Well, I studied, wrote, rewrote, attended conferences, and entered and finalled in contests. I’ve just sold a short piece to a Christian small press. But with the CBA world reflecting such a vast doctrinal expanse and a hugely varied expression of lifestyles, I would love to seek publication of future works with a publisher who focuses on the fundamental niche. And I would love to read books from this perspective, where the inspiration arc doesn’t need to be so generic. Only there doesn’t seem to be any such house–at least not for adult fiction. Am I missing something?

Through a Google search (Old El Paso gluten free), I found your blog. I am trying to confirm that Old El Paso taco seasonings are gluten free. Can you tell me if they are? Any information you can provide will certainly be appreciated. Have a great day! Thanks, Denise
