BEWARE OF THIS BOOK!!!!

If you have children or grand-children 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 . Dr. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating and parents and Christian schools need to be aware of this. Do pass it on to church/e-mail addressees, Parents,Grand parents,Aunts,Uncles,Cousins,friends.

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 purports 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 school
children (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.

I posted about this conversations with God Book a year or aso ago. It is being sold in Christian book stores! Very scary stuff! I have not seen this second one. Thanks for posting this David! The Devil is indeed after the hearts and minds of our children. It seems that the push toward acceptance as legitimate of the homosexual lifestyle is coming at us from every direction.

That book is so wicked, the false "God" even corrupts scriptures. What kind of sense does that make?

Have you seen this Why I am a Lesbian book Rose? This author is very New Age. The god he is speaking for is surely not the GOD of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. What scared me about COnversations with God is that it is being promoted as Christian in Christian book stores. Wal-Mart also has it. Anyone could pick up this book without reading it and pass it on thinking it is a Christian book, as you can find it right with the Christian books. And even when you do read it is is very cunning and subtle in its deception.

This second book sounds as it is exactly the same way.

Wow! My daughter gets these book orders from school every month and I usually let her pick some every other month.
Going by the title "Conversation w/God" if she asked me for this book I probably would have let her get it, but not now!

Thanks for the post, I had NO IDEA!

THANK YOU for posting this warning David! I sent it out to everyone I could think of and posted on the other boards I'm on as well!

I have first hand experience with this TRASH! This was the Trilogy I was reading when the Lord God actually Spoke to me! HE said "These are LIES from the Enemy - Come Back to ME!" That was way back in 1999 (?) and I did just that! I threw the books in the Trash and didn't look back! Now it's part of my mission to WARN anyone who might be thinking about reading them that they come Straight from the Pit of Hell! (Complete with Ear Tickling New Age Lies!)

I'm a Bit passionate on this subject
