It would be so easy for well-meaning folk to buy this book with every good intent, fooled by the title into thinking that it's a book for young people to find the answers to their questions from a Christian point of view, but just how wrong can you get!
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighbourhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Many schools are acting as distributors for this trashy book to children in their charge through the Scholastic Book Club. The name of the book is Conversations with God. Oprah Winfrey has helped in the promotion of this book, and for anyone who knows anything about her you will know that when she pushes something millions of people are tempted to respond. Unfortunately she is definitely not known for her Christian views!!!
The content of this book is devastating. Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to Church, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends, --- in fact just about everyone you can.
It's so important to 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.
This book, along with a partner volume entitled Conversations With God for Teens, is 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?" the answer she gets is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as 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 erroneously quote the Word of God. And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren through organisations such as The Scholastic Book Club, and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children. The children of our nation are under satanic attack. So I pray that you will 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 the lion usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
Pass this on to everyone you know. And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself.
