Other than the lack of sex, drinking and cursing, how is Christian chick lit different from its secular counterpart?
I think it’s about the order of things, the progression of the relationship. In Christian Chick Lit the order of the relationship is acquaintance/friendship/romance/love/marriage and then intimacy. In secular Chick Lit intimacy is often moved closer to the front of that sequence. Also, in Christian Chick Lit, there are doors that just don’t open-the bedroom door, for example. I don’t think that’s a problem. There’s a deliciousness about unfurling the wonder, the doubt, the anticipation and the emotion of falling in love. There’s no need to jump to the end result too early. It can be every bit as entertaining.
