When it comes to genres, there are those that are quite well known, and others which are derived based on those searching for a specific subject and title. Most always, books related to religion are found in the Religious or Occult section of bookstores and libraries. Although, when it comes to Spiritual Romance Novels, these are often shelved along with other fiction titles.
While the word spiritual often does not only relate to religious matters, in this case most of the publications mentioned are of a Christian nature. For all of time itself, Christianity and Spirituality have remained separate and apart. This is not to say that Christianity is not spiritual, or that being spiritual makes one a Christian. When it comes to locating a spiritual novel on the web, it becomes clear quite quickly that most authors creating such works are in fact, Christians.
Unlike Christian based novels, spiritual novels often allow the reader to search many different pathways to a higher power or powers. In many cases, these novels are based in Zen Buddhism and are often universal in concept and thought. Also, books which allow this type searching also tend to include various allegorical tales along with different principles can help in various aspects of life, something not a lot of Christian based romance novels tend to offer.
Titles like Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Spiritual Laws of Success, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah and others are quite popular among Comparative Theologians worldwide. While, a number of Christian based authors only read the Bible and other publications related to the faith. Regardless as to whether one holds the same beliefs as an author, some novels can often still be quite insightful, inspirational and intriguing.
These and other titles can go a long way in helping individuals find a path with which one relates. While in the past, individuals often visited a number of different churches and faiths in order to do so, the internet has now opened up a whole new world when it comes to learning about different religious and spiritual paths. Whether that be within the Christian faith, or a part of a larger neo-pagan identity, generally these books have something to offer anyone who takes the time read one.
A good way to approach any book, whether fact or fiction, is to have an open mind. Readers need also realize that while a book may be written in a tone based on the author's faith, that no one is asking one to change belief systems or religions by simply reading a book. Although, in some cases, it can become clear quite quickly if the purpose of a book, like the Bible, is intended to spread the word of God, whether actually true or otherwise.
Books can provide a great escape from reality. While some may have religious tones, readers need to recognize that any book is most likely going to have aspects with which one may disagree. As this is the case, readers who maintain an open mind and can agree to disagree with authors from time to time, often read ore books.
Regardless, whether looking for a time consuming romance novel, or information related to different paths, there are a number of free e-copies online. Knowing the author of a specific title can help in a search, or searching on Christian based romance novels will most likely pull up several links of interest.
