Be on alert for this book. Make sure it doesn’t end up in your kids hands or home.
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you
have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the
information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this
book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.
The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about
this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and
Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to
church/e -mail addressees, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins,
friends.
Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in
movie theaters, on the internet, and the music they listen to, but also be
alert regarding the books they read.
Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God
for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their
titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list
for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, ‘Don’t judge a
book by its cover or title.’
The author purports to answer various questions asked by 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 a s you were born right-handed,
with brown 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.’
Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some
instances quote (in error) the Word of God.
And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to
schoolchildren through (The Sc holastic 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). We know that lions usually
hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if you are in
doubt, check out the books yourself.
