Lastly, if they don't like Bible for being too Christian, find out if you can use inspirational poems or rotate other holy books because I don't see why a grown woman wouldn't understand that the Bible is a Christian thing and most of its messages will be Christian, you're not reading Huckleberry Finn, a Torah, Koran, or Gone With The Wind, Windows for Dummies or anything else! It is what it is at the end of the day! (Sorry if I sound off the wall, but that is the most outlandish thing I think I've ever heard, I'm sure you're doing your best to be balanced in the message!)
