I think that Christian novels should have a good story with a strong Christian message that is relevant to and interwoven into the story.

I've seen plenty of "strong messages". It's the good story that is lacking methinks.

Often, yes. It's the weak story, not the strong message, that is the problem.

Most of the time they try to cram the message in so much that if their story has potential it ends up bad.

That doesn't mean the message is at fault, though.

I have no problem with "message." It's "preachy" that I'm talking about.
