Hm, I'm not sure if I could be much help. But about what time peroid would you like your story to take place? To me thats one of the most important factors to figure in before even getting ideas jotted down. But then again you probally already knew that. Christian morals with action, you may be surprize at how many people think that is impossible. Again, sorry I'm not much help.

That's a really broad question. ^_^ Have you written anything before? My first piece of advice might be to research by going to a Christian book store and finding a few books to read that are Christian action novels. They have them aplenty these days. Look in the teen section.

i was thinking either a present day with not so far off technology or far off future...which often serves as a stumbling block.

How about a storyline where a character is generly a good person but who has douts about God's Divine Justice Kinda like "The Punsher" type Character and who does the Robin hood thing only he/she a hit men. Then he/or she
meets some one w/ Chirstain Morals (Bishie incoulded). XD :grin:

I know i am not much to anybody here on the board, but maybe going thru the bible, or a good christian book, or a good christian radio, or tv stations, i am sorry that i am not very good at things, you can take this message off if you want too.

I think it's 'do'-able. I haven't really had a problem infusing Christian morals into my stories so far. (I have lotsa stories and ideas actually but it takes such a long time to convert them into little manga pages, all inked and screentoned nicely. :bang:

anyway, apart from the good advice already given here, what I like to do is take current ideas available in the secular world and give them a Christian twist or present them from a Christian point of view.

Another thing I do is to ask myself, "what common Christian themes do I want to focus on?" Most of my stories, always often than now, are created from my inner desire to convey to the readers a specific Christian teaching. Once i know what my focus is, I start writing a story to communicate that common theme.

I could get into the specifics but perhaps, posting more details of your current ideas of your story may help us to help you. ^_^
