Urban Christian Fiction is a genre of emotional,
vivid and conflicting stories that mixes God, faith and the urban church.
It does not purposely exclude violence or sex from its story line,
but weaves it into the plot based upon its relevance.
It closely resembles Urban Fiction or Street Lit except, God is the center of the character’s lives.
Urban Christian Fiction usually portrays characters of African or Latino descent depicting urban culture.
Kick off your shoes and stay awhile.
