I know you only asked if your site is SE ready, but I do want to point out something else I noticed.
Your main page says Anything you're looking for Inspirational is here
I read that like 3 times before I got what it meant.
It should read Anything Inspirational you're looking for is here or Inspirational Books Are Here.
The very top of the page that says Anything Inspirational
is fine, but your longer sentence needs corrected.
OK - is your site SE ready?
No.
Why?
Lets start with your main index page title tag is one word "home" - not a correct title tag by far.
Your keyword use of Christian is way over used which can equal to keyword spam to the SE.
Also last but far from least - this one page is all your web site has. Every graphic, link or other wise leads to a different web site/web sites ( of which I assume your are an affiliate of ? ).
So in essence your one page web site has no original content, which is required by the SE.
My opinion - the SE will not list this site.
I really hope you take some time and research and read the forums here. There is much to be learned about this field in order to do it correctly, and you can find most of the knowledge you need right here

The problem with being an affiliate, is that you really, really have to be a good site.
Think about it - if the company has 5,000 affiliates, you want yours to be found before 4,999 sites with similar content.
The ONLY way to achieve that is to do MORE than just pic and description, you need to be unique and original.
You need to do MORE than say 'Christian' one thousand times - you need to think about what someone who wants religious books will be searching for. Texts? Famous Christians? Events? You know. And you need to feature them.
Affiliate sites have problems getting links; but a content driven site that also sells books does not.
The days are long gone when anyone could chuck up a page with a few affiliate codes and make money; over half a million Amazon stores says you missed that boat.
But if you think around the problem, you can still be a success.
