MSNBC.com reports that Christian chick lit is a hot market.
Christian readers are eagerly buying up the titles that combine
Bridget Jones styled single women stories with
Christian values. Joan Marlow Golan of Harlequin Publishing
told the Today Show how the Christian chick lit is
different from the rest. "In the Christian version, it would
also be, 'What is God's purpose for me?' The purpose-driven
life, that's what they are looking for. 'How do I live
authentically in the kind of world we live in?'" said Golan.
MSNBC.com also provided an excerpt of the Christian
chick lit novel, What a Girl Wants by Kristin Billerbeck.
