Now, I'm sure it's not all of them. But not only are Christian novels saturated with romance, but they are full of so much kissing and honestly what seems more like make-out scenes! <br /><br />I agree that it is a VERY confusing message to send to young women.

I don't watch a lot of TV or have a lot of time to read for fun, but I listen to music ALL the time, and a lot of my favorite artists sing cutesy love-y songs. sometimes I have to take a break from them and listen to worship music only to refocus my heartBnleakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763709940221779403noreply@blogger.com
