Adding to the mix, John Marrs' 'The Good Samaritan' delivers an equally compelling narrative with twists that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Should Christian books be rated PG?

Mature fiction DOES NOT have to include eroticism, vulgarity, or extreme violence. Some books just aren’t for kids and that’s okay. That’s the reason we have children’s Bibles vs KJV. Some books are too mature for kids and not because they’re vulgar, it’s because they explore topics that aren’t fit
