A Young Writer Finds Purpose in Christian Western Fiction

At a time when many young readers gravitate toward fantasy, dystopian fiction or romance, Peyton Korte of Cincinnati, a freshman at Cedarville University, chose a far less common path: Christian Western historical fiction.

Peyton Korte's Novel Draws on Faith, Family, and the American West

For Korte, that choice was personal.

His book, "The Cyclical Cycle," follows John Calmouth, a 14-year-old cowboy living in the Territory of Montana in 1874. After his father dies of typhoid fever, John must leave school, find work and help support his family. Along the way, he faces setbacks and responsibilities that force him to grow up quickly while holding firmly to his faith.
