[QUOTE="UnrulyBeauty, post: 75413232, member: 430871"] Books that aren't about being pilgrims, Quakers, or pioneer women lol. Books that recognize the gritty reality of life in the real world, even as Christians, and aren't afraid to tackle those stories. I remember reading "young adult Christian" novels as a teen girl, and thinking how repulsively treacly they were. Utterly unrealistic, the protagonist girl was always cute/pretty, talented, well-loved, had a perfect family, lots of friends. Completely unrelatable, and gave the impression that being a Christian youth meant that you lived a squeaky-clean, Barbie-girl life. I'd love to see more Christian authors tell the gospel in creative ways like CS Lewis and Tolkien did. [/QUOTE]
