When it comes to genres, there are those that are quite well known, and others which are derived based on those searching for a specific subject and title. Most always, books related to religion are found in the Religious or Occult section of bookstores and libraries. Although, when it comes to Spiritual Romance Novels, these are often shelved along with other fiction titles.
While the word spiritual often does not only relate to religious matters, in this case most of the publications mentioned are of a Christian nature. For all of time itself, Christianity and Spirituality have remained separate and apart. This is not to say that Christianity is not spiritual, or that being spiritual makes one a Christian. When it comes to locating a spiritual novel on the web, it becomes clear quite quickly that most authors creating such works are in fact, Christians.
Unlike Christian based novels, spiritual novels often allow the reader to search many different pathways to a higher power or powers. In many cases, these novels are based in Zen Buddhism and are often universal in concept and thought. Also, books which allow this type searching also tend to include various allegorical tales along with different principles can help in various aspects of life, something not a lot of Christian based romance novels tend to offer.
Books like The Way of The Peaceful Warrior, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, Busting Loose From The Money Game, The Celestine Prophecy are good examples of these type books. The Secret, is an interesting take on success in life through spirituality. Clearly, none of these are entirely fiction, or non-fiction yet most are quite popular in spiritual discussion groups and other realms.
These and other titles can go a long way in helping individuals find a path with which one relates. While in the past, individuals often visited a number of different churches and faiths in order to do so, the internet has now opened up a whole new world when it comes to learning about different religious and spiritual paths. Whether that be within the Christian faith, or a part of a larger neo-pagan identity, generally these books have something to offer anyone who takes the time read one.
Just one more reason why having an open mind when reading publications in any genre is a good idea. For the most part, readers do not try and find out personal information related to an author, readers just read and enjoy the story regardless of differences between the story and real life. While this is the case, should a title try to force an individual into any belief system, then it is often good to stop reading and start soul searching before following suit.
Books have and always will be a great escape from reality. While some have religious tones, there are also secular romance stories for those who do not subscribe to any particular belief system, faith or religion. Of course, for those who do subscribe to a particular path, it is important to realize that the world is a big place with a lot of ideologies. As such, it's important to always maintain an open mind when reading publications whether in the religious, spiritual or other genres.
