I agree that there's a fine line and I think Leslie Ludy is the sort of person who gives things her all. She's passionate and that comes through in her writing. Unfortunately, it also can make me feel that because I don't do A, B and C or only do A and don't do C, I'm not an awesome Christian like her and Eric. They mean extremely well, but sorry. I don't feel encouraged, I feel as though since I listen to secular music (hello Brad Paisley and Michael Buble!), watch movies and do other stuff that, while she does not outright condemn, she openly says isn't very good...well, I start to feel, as a friend put it recently, a "spiritual bump."

Plus, the fairy-tale schweetness can get sickening. :-P I'm ready for the Christian book market to get past the Disney princess stage. I mean, c'mon. Jesus is my savior. I don't want a romantic relationship with him, I want one with my guy (am I awful admitting to this?!). It makes me kind of uncomfortable to dwell on that one too much. God is so much more than a lover.
