Replacing Gideons Bible Brings Backlash for England Hotel Owner

Although he insists it was â€œpurely for fun,â€ a hotel owner in Northwest England recently came under fire for switching out the Bible for a steamy, secular novel in its 40 guest rooms.

Damson Dene Hotel owner Jonathan Denby insists that removing the Gideons Bible in favor of E.L. Jamesâ€™ Fifty Shades of Grey was not made due to any deep philosophical reasons. He told NBCnews.com that it was done â€œjust because the novel is so popular.â€

Ah, the users of SermonAudio that live in Great Britain need to send more emails to this fellow. You can let us "upstart colonialists" out do you!
