Summary: Great Book
Review: It's been a very long time since I read this book. It may have about 6 yrs ago. But I have been searching for the book for a long time but I couldnt remember the authors name. But it just came to me last night out of nowhere. I just have to get another copy of this book! It is a wonderful book that I may have read about 4 or 5 times (and it was a library checkout). It's just fabolous and the characters seem so real. Wonderful!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DANGER: READ AT THE RISK OF YOUR STANDARDS.
Review: Just read the other reviews and they're evidence enough. This girl dates a non-Christian guy in direct conflict with God's Word, but supposedly she's still a Christian. More than once Ty implies (or just states directly) that he wants everything Pamela has to give--and doesn't mean after they get married. But she keeps on dating him because she's so infatuated. And these other reviewers say you "want to be in her shoes" and you "feel like your in Ty's arms when she is"?? Well, she shouldn't have BEEN in Ty's arms to begin with, and I would hope no Christian girl would make the decisions--correction, *mistakes*--that Pam makes. To make things worse, her involvement with Ty is never portrayed as un-Biblical or wrong, and there are never any consequences. If this is a "test of faith," then Pamela fails miserably.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lighten up...
Review: Non-Christians and Christians dating? Oh the horror! Forbidanyone to spread the word of Christ by spending time with people whodon't know anything about it!

Please... Is the goal here to build a wall around ourselves and shut out all who don't subscribe to our every belief?

Judy Baer chooses to tackle what happens when a Christian grapples with carnal feelings vs. Christian responsibility. And not badly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved It!
Review: Pamela is a wonderful book about a girl who is cautiously stretching her "wings" in some other place rather then her homeland of Arizona. It shows a good example of Christian faith, although I must agree w/another reviewer that she shouldn't have kept of dating Ty when he wasn't a Christian and she was. However, I believe that it shows that she was a strong enough person to disallow him from continuing their relationship further, and for that I commend this book. It shows that there is no such thing as a perfect person, including a Christian. Overall this book was very well done, w/a few minor glitches here and there, but notheless, well done for showing that no one is perfect, and through the strength of God you are able to make it through anything.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Mediocre writing, laughable reading
Review: Pamela's worth reading only if you want to have a good laugh at the standard romance cliches and mock Pamela and Ty for the duration of the novel. The writing's not good, and the plot's even worse. But I'm very disturbed by the lack of Biblical principle found in this "Christian" novel. Pamela should have never started dating a non-Christian (Ty) in the first place! How can she berate herself for her feelings when she lets him grope her on the couch?

But Pamela's hilarous reading--if you want to turn your brain off and fill it with romantic drivel and sappy cliches.

I give it two thumbs up for unintentional humor.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: Really, great. i enjoyed it alot. i wouldn't say it's the best yet but it caught my attention and kept me wanting to read. i dont' like it when i read a dull book - and this one defently wasn't dull (with a TIGER in it and all). i'd recomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unique!
Review: This book is very unique and interesting in that it deals with what is acceptable versus unacceptable in Christian dating behavior. It takes someone strong like Pamela to say NO. God blessed her for standing up for what was right, just as He blesses us for doing what's right.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very, wonderful book!
Review: This book was great! It makes you want to be in Pamela's shoes. Great story, great characters! I really loved this book. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to read it. Judy Baer writes another wonderful book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Danger of "Lightening Up"
Review: Um, no. Many apologies to the reader from Boston, MA, but ma'am, you have it ALL wrong. I am a Christian, too, and I firmly believe in going forth and telling the world about Jesus. However, there is a great difference in witnessing to someone and becoming "unequally yoked" with them. We can tell others about the Good News without getting into romantic relationships with them, something Jesus told us explicitly NOT to do. This book does not show any consequences for Pam's poor decision of becoming involved with Ty (whose "golden eyes seemed to have X-ray qualities" as he "stared at her sweater-clad body"), and there is never a scene in the book that Pamela truly stands up for her beliefs in God. Somehow, Ty manages to get the idea from her that prayer is a good idea (see the last page), but that's about it. I am far from an "isolationist" Christian, but this book goes too far with a man/woman relationship that never should have existed, even if they never "go all the way" (though Ty asks her to more than once). Please read 2 Corinthians 6:14 and re-evaluate your position on "lightening up."
