A film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' newest novel “The Choice” is now in theatres. The popular author says that faith informs all the stories he writes.
According to The Christian Post, the film made from Sparks' novel “The
Choice” is now in theatres, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The story is reportedly similar to the storyline in Sparks’ beloved novel and film “The Notebook.”
“I wanted to do a novel that was somewhat similar in structure to "The
Notebook" in that it's a story that describes what happens to a couple
after the honeymoon ends," said Sparks to The Christian Post. "Stories
like those seem to add an additional authenticity to the story and it
was an area that I wanted to explore in while being entirely different
than "The Notebook.""
Sparks says that faith and a belief in God’s Will shapes all the stories he writes.
"Of course faith informs my writing and I tend to be optimistic that
God had a plan all along for everybody and I think it's up to each of us
to make the most of that plan," he said. "So I believe often, God had a
plan and then there's free will and I think all of my stories
illustrate that point."
"At the same time I tend to believe that faith is less a destination
then a journey and I think people's faith waxes and wanes throughout the
course of one's life. I don't think there's any sin in that because
that's why we call it faith. I think that God made it that way because
He wanted us to choose to love Him on our own regard not because we had
to or we'd go to the dark place after life ended,"Spark continued.
The Christian Post notes that themes of love, heartbreak, endurance
stand out in all of Sparks’ stories. Sparks is already working on his
next novel.
