Christian Reviewers: Our call is to discern the spiritual level of books we read to help our readers know what to expect. This is meant to help Christian leadership, parents who need to keep track of what is being fed into their children's minds, and Christian authors—by encouraging them to write powerfully edifying Christian fiction.
