Do you watch / listen / read ONLY Christian centered movies, music, literature?

When adding books for the church library - I only put in christian books or christian themed books. I don't have fiction. I figure if people really want Christian fiction, they can go to the public library for that.
I'm not personally a big fan of christian fiction, but there are a few ones that have been good without being too 'preachy'. People would rather have good story with a happy ending than one that's overtly preachy.

Francine Rivers and Neta Jackson have written some christian novels I've enjoyed. Basically Christian fiction features Christian characters and often there will be scripture references, that only Christians will really 'get' so that might put off other readers who haven't read the Bible.

It can be nice to have that, as a believer, as an affirmation but if the author references it too much like every paragraph it might get a bit much!

Then there's the other kind of Christian fiction that reimagines the Bible and that can be hit and miss sometimes. I've read some awful Christian fiction that totally twists scripture. And not Ellen G White cult books but just novels that inserted modern day characters back into biblical times which was kind of weird. Everyone speaks KJV english even though its meant to be like in the Middle East or something lol

Funny how different things are. Like I said before, we do not have librarians in our schools, we have "multi-media specialists" and our libraries are called "multi-media centers." They have no authority to decide what books are made available, as this is decided by the state's department of education.

"CNN ā€”
Efforts are underway in Florida counties to comply with a law championed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that requires the approval of books in classroom libraries.

Manatee County School District teachers are experiencing ā€œfearā€ and ā€œconfusionā€ as the district works to implement HB 1467, which requires that books be pre-approved materials or vetted by a media specialist trained by Floridaā€™s Department of Education, according to Pat Barber, president of the Manatee Education Association, the countyā€™s teachersā€™ union.

A document provided by the district that lays out new statutory changes to HB 1467 indicates violations could be considered a third-degree felony."

It's no surprise that the puppets of demonic powers will play the victim card, knowing full well that they will continue to do what they can to ensure trashy books remain available to the yet-to-be-corrupted youth who go to libraries. I saw an article some weeks ago that more trashy parents take more kids to the tranny shows in libraries than they do for educational purposes. I don't know if that's true or not, but it speaks to the fact that FAR too many parents are....just plain trash!

I don't deal with the parents, my readers are children/students.

Parents don't come into the library much. But the parents who ARE readers appreciate the library.

There is far more trash on you-tube and tiktok than in the library. Some peeps on here watch it far too much.
 
There is a small parenting section in the library hidden away in the corner I discovered.
Not for the teen parents but when you have students who are young adults they may be curious and also, young parents like to have those books.
In primary school, baby name books were popular because many children had new family members being born. So they wanted to find out names for their baby brother/sister and the meanings.
 
I'll tell you what is really trash in the library - magazines nobody reads as they are full of advertising and out of date! So I'm taking them to the recycle.
