Where are the provocative covers? I looked at all of them and as far as I could tell they were all Christian books. I didn't see anything provocative.

oh my God I wish I could read all of these books,they look sooooooooooooooo interesting.

looks like they were removed

I added books 1 to 3 of Hallee Bridgeman's Jewel Trilogy: Sapphire Ice, Emerald Fire, and Topaz Heat. The trilogy is set in Boston and each cover gives a fantastic pictorial of some famous Boston landmarks. The graphics are clever. The silhouettes leave the reader to interpret the character in their imagination. Cover artist for all three books is Debi Warford.

I saw one or two books on this list that looked very much aganist Christianity. They look like horror books... wondering why they are on here.

my sentiments exactly...show me one

I looked at the covers after reading this comment and didn't see anything amiss. Maybe they removed the questionable covers or maybe someone is just trying to make nasty comments....usually men are not reading these books...but men are changing nowadays, and not all according to Paul's ideas of men....

most of them look christian to me... but a few, well, notsomuch

First Impressions is the only book I saw that had a questionable cover, and I read the synopsis and am not quite sure about that one.

What is questionable about it? A lot of dresses and even wedding gowns don't have sleeves. The story has a clear faith thread and is about the spiritual hazards of dating someone who isn't a Christian and how it will influence your walk with the Lord.

When you dress as a saloon girl that does not give the appearance of being a Christian read....but I do understand how some people are dressing nowadays...personally, I believe if you dress in some ways it is understandable if your Christianity may come into question.

That's the point of the story, but you probably won't read it and that's okay since it sounds like you don't want to read stories that delve into issues that I write about. To each his own. My favorite genre is historical fiction (to read.) I see that's your preference from your bookshelf as well.

Oh, and the character is not a Christian and that's why she dresses that way, giving a bad first impression, but she does find faith and no longer wears that type of attire. Not everyone in Christian books is wholesome and saved (at least not in the ones I write) so they have a faith journey, and that's what makes a book Christian, not the dress they wear.

You may or may not find this amusing, but I had a costume made to match the one on the cover and I went to a secular convention where I was able to sell my books. So each person who bought one and read it got a chance to see that Jesus is real and that faith does change people. That's what the gospel is all about.

Thanks for clarifying that she was not a Christian when this story began...for me, Redeeming Love is my very favorite and she did not start the story as a Christian. I have read a lot of these books and have enjoyed them. I hope you much success on First Impressions!!

Well, the ironic thing about the character in First Impressions is she is a 30 year old virgin who has never been kissed since she was about 13 and that was a one time occurrence. But she dresses like a saloon girl thinking she'll attract a guy. She does, but he's a Christian and it's his faith that draws her to him (part of the pull) and he dates her even though he knows he shouldn't and it messes up his good walk with the Lord and he stops reading his Bible and she starts to lose interest in him since what drew her in the first place was the light now dimming because of him compromising and doing what he knows he shouldn't do, which is to date a non-believer. So she's pure and so is he and normally at that age no one is untainted by the world. That's what makes the story interesting. But you probably wouldn't like the story, so I wouldn't recommend it. He thinks like a real guy and argues with God in his head and everything, but he doesn't have holy thoughts all the time.

After scrolling through this list I find myself with 20+ new books added to my want to read shelf :)

Don't judge a book by it's cover and don't judge people by first impressions..

Um, some of these look very non-Christian. Is there a way to remove them?

Vote for my cover if you think it stands out. :)
