“Bobby’s Girls by John R.Price is a story about Christian actors and how compromising impact impact the Christian life. I really liked this story. It is a short read. I read it in one setting.
This book has lots of Biblical Scriptures as part of the plot. I didn’t look them up but am going to later today. I really like that the characters apologize and really make a turn for the better.

This is a clean story but the television show that is the plot of this novel has alcohol usage and sexual tones and jokes.

I know this one fact is a minor issue, but the characters are already getting hit with rumors of not being actual Christians and the two husbands go to a bar( a sports bar) and one of them drinks a beer to discuss the problems. It just seems to me that they would not do anything to bring more condemnations on their family. I know this is a judgment call on my part.

This is the author’s first book and I will be on the look out for other books written by him.

I was given a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

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.
