Christian faith and tenets form the basis on which the characters are developed. The reader gets a basic idea of the teachings of Lord Jesus through these novels. Here is the summary of a typical Christian romance novel with its fascinating story of sin, love and transformation: The plot revolves round a young girl who was sold to a bordello when she was very young and grew up as a tart. The only thing she knows about men was their insatiable physical hunger. Being in such environment, it was not possible for her to believe in love, nor did she have any faith in God or his messages. But miraculously a young farmer entered her life.
A devout farmer, this new person who entered the tart’s life, had great faith in God and his teachings. It was his mission to elevate her from her life of sin to a much value driven world. According to him, it was God’s instruction. After they marry, the young girl learns to love her husband and God too. The novel shows how merciful God is to all His people and how He shows them light in utter darkness. This novel has several sub plots on incest and rape and is therefore recommended only for people above eighteen years old.
My Dear Valentine considers Christian romance novels to be a must read for those who are interested in the teachings of Christ. When one knows more about the characters in these novels, one learns to be tenderer, more compassionate and more tolerant towards his or her fellow beings.
