Abstract:
Christian romance novels, one of the most popular genres of fiction for Christian readers and one of the most ignored areas of study for scholars, provide countless readers, mostly evangelical Christian women, with emotional and spiritual encouragement. In this article, based upon research involving hundreds of women readers and writers of Christian romance novels, I share women’s own stories about the emotional and spiritual transformations that happen via the reading experience in order to discover the reasons why women read from this particular genre.
