Introducing my Christian faith rating system that I will be adding as part of my reviews.

Thank you Lou for the inspiration and for letting me use yours as a template!

My Christian Faith Ratings: 0-- Clean, not necessarily Christian but could have been written by a Christian author; potentially a few problematic elements but otherwise Christian-friendly 1--marketed as Christian but has light, every day faith, could have some problematic elements; OR a clean fiction book that has a Christian author and has strong allegorical elements 2--really good faith elements that could include prayer, going to church, leading a Christian lifestyle, could include just a few problematic elements 3--excellent faith elements plus the characters try their best to walk a Christian life and let the Lord guide them, also includes scripture

I filmed this live-reaction vlog to Indigo Isle back in July, now posting it in November (oops!) I share my thoughts on the book but also Christian fiction as a whole, share some family heirlooms, and talk about my home state, South Carolina. Good ol' Southern cooking also has a part in this video!
P.S. Sorry in advance for my incoherent ramblings! I have a long-winded way of saying I have high standards for Christian fiction. And I did have a final clip summarizing my thoughts but it didnt upload correctly and I'd already deleted the video :/
