I agree about wanting to mostly read books with Christian messages. If it's a secular author I'm not expecting there to be a Christian message. I just make sure the book is clean. When I read a Christian author's blog and they seem to talk about how God is speaking to them personally and they seem to have a relationship with the Lord I expect it to come out in their writing. I don't know why they think readers won't want the characters to have a Christian life also. Going away from a book uplifted is definitely the way to go!Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184999232100292027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732525763094343776.post-69126947549449418482013-05-22T12:02:10.906-07:002013-05-22T12:02:10.906-07:00She's not writing Christian fiction anymore?

I'll still read her books, but the Christian message is soooo important!!Candy Cavinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241898012163834867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732525763094343776.post-64209109833320515672013-05-22T11:40:43.448-07:002013-05-22T11:40:43.448-07:00Sylvia!

I must admit that I am really sad she won't be writing Christian anymore. I LOVED her messages in the past and I will really miss that. But you are right, her last books at Bethany were almost void of anything Christian, so she must be ready to move on. I am disappointed she won't be doing that because I felt her messages were so moving--and that's one of the main reasons I read in this genre--to get uplifted and stuff, you know?<br />Anyway, I'm so thrilled you sent me think link I'm going to "share" it on FB.

And now that I've learned she won't be writing "Christian" any more I'm really bummed. But, I'm sure I'll keep reading her stuff anyway--its still clean and fun, but I'll miss that message.Amber Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732638199138689844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732525763094343776.post-77148500836921714162013-05-22T09:25:00.367-07:002013-05-22T09:25:00.367-07:00I'm currently reading this book right now. Tho...I'm currently reading this book right now. Though I'm not far into it I can already see what you mean by three characters.<br /><br />Deeanne has said in a recent interview that she's going to be writing mainstream novels from now on. She calls them mainstream because they are being released by Simon and Schuster's line Howard Books. I think though, that Howard Books is considered S&S's inspirational line. The books will be clean, but not particularly religious. Her last few books with Bethany House hardly had anything spiritual in them, so I'm not surprised. She says that she wants non-Christian people to find her books and want to read them. Here's a link to the interview.<br /> <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogp1SRuBhUwSylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184999232100292027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732525763094343776.post-12843211805552190952013-05-22T09:09:15.248-07:002013-05-22T09:09:15.248-07:00Honestly, this one wasn't my favorite.

Probably not.....but the other books she's written I would read those over and over. I was overwhelmed with the 'third main character'. The storyline was hidden for me with all the details with the fair. I wish I had something better to say :(Candy Cavinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241898012163834867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732525763094343776.post-10314273536497717072013-05-22T08:38:10.542-07:002013-05-22T08:38:10.542-07:00Thanks for this review!
