The Hardest Romance Books for Me to Quit (as a Christian)

Описание: I gave up spicy romance books as a Christian woman and these were the hardest ones to walk away from. This is my testimony of finding freedom in Christ and choosing clean romance instead. This is NOT a judgment on anyone who still reads these books and authors. 💛

This is my testimony and the freedom I found — you are welcome here no matter where you stand.
For me, reading explicit romance started affecting my heart, my thought life, and my walk with Jesus.✝️
In this video, I share the specific books I struggled to let go of, why they were hard to walk away from, and what changed in my faith.🌱

💐ABOUT ME:
I’ve been creating bookish content for ten years, reviewing, and recommending Christian fiction, no spice romance, and young adult books across all genres. I read mostly from the library and I focus on faith-based romance books, no spice, and entertaining stories. My channel is all about helping parents, teens, and romance readers discover great books that are fun, well-written, and honour God.
If you’re looking for Christian romance books, clean book recommendations, or young adult fiction that is age-appropriate, you’re in the right place. I’ll always mention any content warnings, including language or romance details, so you can trust my reviews to be honest and thoughtful.
Check out my playlists for all my Christian romance recommendations, clean reads, wrap-ups, and favorite authors.
