It is sad that Christians should have to be reminded to be honest. I think of David's words to the Lord, "Against thee, thee only, have I sinned." Thank you for another insightful article. Faithfully-yours, Wendy This was a great article; I am still praying about reviewing. It is sad that Christians should have to be reminded to be honest. I think of David’s words to the Lord, “Against thee, thee only, have I sinned.”
Thank you for another insightful article.

I review ALOT of books and have run into "Christian" publishers publishing books that aren't "Biblical." In fact, many times, I've found where the so called "Christian" books are FAR from biblical and even completely contradicted Scripture. I've also run into books being published and "marketed" because of the "Name" of the author...yet there is LITTLE substance to the book!! I hate seeing people waste their money. Soooo I find myself being true to my Christian brothers and sisters...writing my reviews from a TRULY Christian perspective...and that means with PURE honesty! :) Thank you again for this reminder! God bless! Cherie Great post Kelly!

And I totally believe as Christians, we especially need to be honest and write with respect. There are always pros and cons to any product. But if there is some affiliation, we need to share that upfront. I always love to read blogger reviews. And I totally believe as Christians, we especially need to be honest and write with respect.

I usually mention it, but regardless, I don't have a problem giving a bad review if the book warrants it. I find that the publishers still send books anyway...they want any feedback/buzz!

What I do is simply email the company letting them know, politely, that I will be unable to review their product. It is not necessary to go into all of the "whys" but a simple explanation would be wise. I have not ever returned a product that I did not review, though I would probably mail something back that was worth mailing. For instance, high dollar items. Does that sufficiently answer your questions? If not, feel free to ask more! Thanks so much for reading and commenting! Hi Rachel!

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 01:04:03 +0000 http://faithfulbloggers.com/?p=115#comment-110 Can you elaborate on how you go about letting a company know that you will be unable to review their product? Do you return the product in this situation? I have, fortunately, not run into this problem yet (partly because I can weed out some things that won't be a good fit just from the descriptions, etc.), but I'd rather be prepared BEFORE it happens than struggling to figure out what to say if/when it does.
