Wow, I completely agree with you. Given the choice between a good book with a
Christian theme, and just a good book, I'll take the Christian one any day.
However, books that are obviously trying hard to prove a point or teach a
lesson, usually take away from the story because it becomes too unrealistic.
That's not to say a book can't have a lesson or underlying point to it, a good
book, in fact, does do that, but if it's too obvious it becomes too predictable.
sorry for the ramble.

I'm going to get into all kinds of trouble for saying this, but probably the
reason Debbie McComber is on for romance, not religion is that her books, those
I've read, focus on relationships and romance, not the salvation of the main
characters. In the Christian Romances I've read, the coming to Christ is more
important than the romance or even the story itself, and I say this as a
Christian. When I read, I want a ripping good story with a happy ending. A
strong religious foundation strengthens the story, but it's not why I'm reading
it.
I recently read Shean on the Silk by ann Perry. It had a lot to say about
religion and one's personal relation with God without making that the bee all
and end all of the story. it made it richer. It made it far better, but the
story could have stood without it.
Now, I'd better duck!

And I thought so but my husband reminded me that not only do her books say
strong language but some have description of sex,
so guess that is why she's not there.

I think the reason Debbie McComber is not on the heartsong presents is
when I have looked on some of her talking books, some say "some strong
Language"
and she is not really listed as religion and spirituality in all cases.
It is just listed as romance only.
