I really enjoy Christian Fiction books. Bobby's Girl: A Novel by John R. Price is the latest book in this genre that I recently read and enjoyed.

Hollywood can be a very tempting place for an Actors and Actresses. I LOVE how the author took a couple of fictional characters, Staci and Mike Whitaker, who are siblings and have been in the Hollywood life for a time and told their story. Christians really have a difficult time being themselves and keeping away from temptation in Hollywood. The author shows us how Staci and Mike's wife, Celeste, were lured back into the Hollywood spotlight, only to have temptations and moral values tested. I really appreciate how the author brings scripture into the book throughout that pertains to the temptations and more that Celeste and Staci are experiencing. The premise of the book also applies to anyone, as the World is always trying to tempt Christians into many things that go against our moral values. In recent years, I have seen many real Hollywood Celebrities' stand strong in their faith in Hollywood and that is soo encouraging. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Fiction and Hollywood movies and Actors! GREAT BOOK!

More from John

I wrote the book as a Christian response to a well-known actor starring in a popular television show reboot. I thought the topic would be an interesting fictional exploration what actors and fans should consider when a TV show seems to compromise an actor’s values.

I chose the Dallas metroplex as the main setting because I have visited the area several times. As a child in the early 1980s, I remember watching two Dallas TV stations on cable TV.
