First off, are you using at LEAST an NIV bible? The clearer the English, the less biblical it sounds. Also are you allowed to (you don't have to answer if you can't, I understand) interpret the verse after you read it or say why you chose it? Sometime the message gets lost without interpretation.
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!)
