What if Christian romance novels are worse for your soul than the secular ones?

I might get a little spicy on all that policing of women, sex, and desire

Fellow Pilgrims,

People pull me aside, concerned about women reading romance novels, wondering if I can speak into that situation. Those people are in good company.

After all, my good friend John Wesley listed “reading plays, romances, or books of humour” among those “fashionable diversions” he advised the “people called Methodist” to “abstain from.”
