I do feel that Christian fiction explores more and more subjects that may have previously been considered taboo. This isn't really a complaining session but a chance for us to brainstorm some things we'd love to see tackled and suspect aren't due the sensitive nature of the subject matter, and perhaps a failure on the part of the subculture overall to really engage in conversation on these topics.
This could be a great chance for authors to get ideas. :)
Also I recognize that Christian fiction is a smaller market so we'll get less books on any subject matter.
Here are a few I can think of:
Mental Illness--definitely there are some books about this, but I'd love to see more and more variety.
Sexuality--I'd love to see sexuality dealt with more realistically and not just from the perspective of someone waiting until marriage.
LGBT Issues--Christians actually do have varying opinions on this, but usually LGBT characters are shut out or relegated to supporting character status
Patriotism vs. Faith--Ah so this is a pet topic but man would I love to see one explored in more depth
Would love to hear yours...don't be shy!
