4.0 out of 5 stars Romance With Christ at the Center, November 30, 2004

This review is from: Flame: A Heated Romance Without Him Burns Vigorously Out of Control (Paperback)

This Christian romance ignites a flame that burns undeniably for Christ. The Lee Family is among the Christian elite. Reverend Brad D. Lee is a Baptist preacher whose ministry is known worldwide.  Reverend Lee also runs a successful gospel-recording label. Bacall is a 22-year old graduating senior hoping to find the perfect husband and land a job in the music industry with dreams of singing R&B professionally. Her mom is an anchorwoman for the local news station and a news correspondent for Dateline. Her sister, Brooks, seems to have it all - the man, a degree and life behind the scenes in the gospel music industry. Even though Bacall is focused on her walk with Christ she is human.

Bacall finally gets what she has been praying for all these years -the man who will change her life forever. Rory Kerry rates a perfect 10. He is an electrical engineering junior and student body president. Rory has a body to kill for and the sexiest eyes you have ever seen. The icing on this cake is his voice - the man can SING.  Bacall and Rory click on their first encounter. Their whirlwind relationship is like romantic story. Rory is a dream come true. He writes her songs, sets up romantic dinners and is a "real" gentleman. Bacall soon discovers that everything that glitters isn't gold.

After graduating and working at a record company in Los Angeles, Bacall finds it difficult to stay true to Christ. The temptations of the world are overwhelming and her faith falls short. Suddenly, Rory's singing career explodes and just like his stage name - Flame - their relationship is on fire. Love, fame and success are a powerful mixture that causes them to get caught up in the world. Bacall is singing backup for Flame while leading her own group, the Matches.  Unfortunately, their careers are not the only thing blowing up. Tragedy forces Bacall to return her heart to the Lord. She focuses on spreading the word of God to unbelievers. Will Bacall be able to grow in Christ and satisfy her desires of the flesh at the same time?

Flame paints a picture that is clear - keep your focus on the Lord. The analogy of fire is sewn throughout the book and details how a Christian can rise and fall in sin. Flame praises and honors Christ by setting an example of how to live in the word rather then the world. Moore is a talented writer that who will inspire believers and unbelievers everywhere. This is a winner not only a superb romantic tale but also a testament to the grace and mercy of Christ.

Flame by Stephanie Perry Moore

Bacall Lee prayed a selfish prayer asking God to send her a guy who's handsome, popular, charming and lovable. That prayer went from her mouth straight to God's ears. Awhile later Bacall was at a party with friends, where she meets Rory Kerry. Bacall thinks Rory is the one, tall, dark, handsome and bald. One night temptation shows its head. Will Bacall continue to keep God first, and save herself for her husband? Or push her beliefs aside and taste temptation.

Flame was a wonderful uplifting read; it is categorized for young adults, but everyone will get something from Flame. I closed the book with a challenge, to get to know God. I want to feel that burning passion Bacall and the Rev. Brandon Lee talked about throughout Flame. This book is a page turner you need to read.

Flame is a good read. You have a preacher's daughter that meets the man of her dreams at a college talent and step show. They fall for each other and encounter seperation,sex, drugs,jealousy, murder,superstardom, along the way before they can be together. It is a good Christian fiction in the vein of Singsation.
