This, from an article about surprise bestseller The Shack

“Mr. Young, Mr. Cummings and Mr. Jacobsen worked for 16 months through four rewrites. Mr. Jacobsen then showed the manuscript to several publishers, but it was rejected everywhere — both by Christian publishers, who found it too controversial, and secular publishers, who thought it was too Christian.”

Bam.

Okay, but remember, Godsbody isn’t saying it’s a good book; Godsbody is just noting the “too Christian/too secular” thing.
