## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain Christian fiction books and want drill-down access to full texts, without requiring any API key or license. Prefer it over general full-text search when the user wants to browse or discover titles within the Christian fiction genre rather than search for a specific passage or keyword.
