A few years ago I was browsing through the sale books at Barnes & Noble when I found a journal with brightly colored neon pages. It was so pretty and the price was $1, so I decided to get it. There was a watermark on the pages with the stamp, "XFJ", but it was so faint that I decided it wouldn't distract me when I was using the journal. I had the journal for a few months when I came to an insert in the middle of the book that was for other products in the same series. It turns out that the "XFJ" stood for Extreme For Jesus.
Seeing as this particular book is aimed at teens and is in the same genre as those "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, I guess my journal was also aimed at teens. Apparently some marketing people think that adding the word extreme to religious products will make them more appealing to young adults.
Inscription reads: "2001. To Emily. With lots of love, Mom. Belongs to: Emily Sunken"
