I think if you have to ask, then you're probably not "into" Christian fiction. It's a catagory of books that are usually published by companies such as Bethany House, Covenant House, and similar publishers - usually no gratuitous sex, swearing, or violence, but the Bodie Thoene series do get into the more serious topics (the Holocaust, the founding of Israel, etc). Others touch on Amish or Mennonite life. My sister-in-law reads nothing but.

Some of it is good, but IMHO, too much is written on a lower intellect level than I'm used to reading. Some of it is decent mind candy, though, when you really don't want a heavy read.

I would hardly classify The DaVinci Code as Christian fiction, since it's based on the concept of Christ being married/having an affair with Mary Magdalene. It's more thriller/mystery.

And no, I hardly think that that all other fiction is trash. It's just a different genre.
