   Is it alright to talk about promiscuity and abortion in Christian fiction? Should it be a memoir instead? I would be speaking from experience. There would be heavy emotional guilt and shame in the backstory.

     I believe it is acceptable, and even necessary to do so, on at least two levels.
     1. Jesus always met people where they were, because otherwise the transformation process could not begin. Without using inappropriately graphic descriptions, we should do the same. These issues, and others, are why people are lost and hurting, and so we should not avoid them.
     2. The focus on pornograpy and promiscuity is in Chapter 9 of my short story anthology, Ten Lies and Ten Truths. I believe that the character, a mother who worked years before in the adult movie industry, is both sorry for that past, but also, and this is so important, forgiven and redeemed by giving her life to Christ. She has to deal with the unexpected consequences of those past actions, but she is also a new creature in him, saved by grace.
