I love writing christian books but its hard to keep my mind clean especially with the flirting and couple bits so help me people!!

Also when I do manage to keep it clean, it feels boring with no excitement so I just throw all my books

I generally think writers should write what's in their head, at least for the first draft. After that, you can look at what's fun or interesting about the character dynamic and see if there are ways of creating the same emotions using situations you're more comfortable with.

This may sound funny but why don't you start by writing children's books?

I second the idea of letting your first draft flow naturally. As a general rule I don't believe in trying to edit before a first draft is done because you may end up in interesting places that you wouldn't have otherwise thought of. There's no limit to the number of edits a book needs, you can take one of those edits and specifically look for "keeping it clean."

I really don't know about writing christian books. but my opinion is you can concentrate on some sort of action parts or you can add some parts that are not in original christian stories to keep the excitement. but be careful not to make the readers offended
