BAD BOOKS

A friend sent me this in an email. I've read CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, and I stopped reading it halfways. I knew that the book is new age because the supposedly God's reply gives questionable values. I did not finish the book because even if I read the book with the knowledge that it has new age values, these values are subliminally planted into my head if I persist to read the book.

If you have children or grandchildren or you have neighbor children
whose parents you know, please take note of the info below or pass it
along to others. Schools are a distribution point to children for this
book through the Scholastic Book Club.

Beware of the book, Conversations with God. James Dobson talked about
this book twice this week. It is devastating and parents and Christian
schools need to be aware of this.

Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV and
in movie theaters and the music they listen to, but we must also be
alert regarding the books they read.

Two particular books, Conversations with God and Conversations with God
for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch , sound harmless enough by their
titles alone. These books have been on the New York Times best sellers
list for a number of weeks, and these publications make truth of the
statement, "Don't judge a book by its cover/title."

The author purport s to answer various questions from kids using the
"voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not
Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For
instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why
am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was born that way because of
genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with blue eyes, etc.).
Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.

Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My
parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin.
Should I marry him?"

His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you
have done nothing wrong."

Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply
"I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There
is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been
trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge
one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged."

And the list goes on. Not only are these books the false doctrine of
devils, but in some instances even quote (in error) the Word of God.
These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren (The
Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.

Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant
about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their
exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the Devil, roams
about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) And
how many of us know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, and
weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.

Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if in doubt, look at the books yourself.

Galatians 6:9 -
Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.
