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 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 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 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 chil

Book: Artemis Fowl
Author: Eoin Colfer
Publisher: Hyperion
Genre: Fantasy

Summary:
The book Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, has a 12 year old lead character who in the story kidnaps a fairy and when the fairy’s superiors find out that he did they attempt to get her back. This is a story on how a boy named Artemis Fowl kidnaps a fairy. The fairy’s name is Captain Holly Short and when she was replenishing her magic she was kidnaped. When the LEP (her superiors) find out he did they attempt to get her back! So the LEP try every idea they can think of. So things in this get a little… hectic. I highly recommend this book.

Artemis Fowl is Dynamic, Antagonist, and a primary character with his emotions drained boy and only feels greed and that’s it till the end of the book. Im not shier but i think he wears glasses, he is pale, and dose sometimes were a hosts jacket. He is 12 years old and is shorter then most kids his age. He avoids other kids his age. He is smarter then kids his age. Why this character is important to the story is because he makes a scheme to steel fairy gold by kidnaping Captain, Holly Short.

Butler is a Dynamic, Neutral, Primary character who is rather emotional but dose not feel greed. But dose feel anger, happiness, and agreement, and ETC. He is strong and helps his sister out with things. He is a bodyguard and is like a father to Artemis Foul. He can even fit into a suit of armor. He is important to the story because he is one of Artemis’s best friends and is like a father to Artemis.

Captain, Holly Short is a Static, Protagonist, and a Primary character who is usually angry and sometimes lies to people and is a real nice person. She is obviously a captain. She is medium sized and has blond hair and a black suit. She always forgets to do the reticule. She can be clumsy and mean. She is important to the story because she is kidnaped by Artemis Fowl for a ransom.

In this sad action packed story there is greed, kidnaps, happiness, and
SAFARI CURVED FIRM SLICKER

I am a triathlete and I will say this is by far the best purchase I’ve made yet. Never had a single problem with it. Love the quick release to mount to my bike or wrist. Also, the free software is wonderful to keep track of all your workout/race data. I would definitely recommend this device to anyone who both cycles and runs.

Our dog sheds twice a year like crazy. I saw the Furminator at our local Pet store but $45 was more than I wanted to spend on a maybe. An Amazon seller sold it cheap enough to try it out, it is worth it. I gave our dog a bath after she dried off I used the Furminator on her. She actually enjoyed it, she usually runs from grooming of any kind. But she sat down for this and it has reduced the fur around the house. She is a Chow, Golden Retriever mix.

This well-reasearched book brought the depression-era railway circus to life. The characters and circus scenes are described in such detail that after reading the book, you feel like you have seen a movie. The nitty gritty reality of circus life does not detract from the magic of the circus.

I have not had a tablet before and I’m glad I purchased it. It does a nice job, and holding the pen is much healthier for long-term use than the mouse. I have had the pad a few months and recommend it.

this is a super helpful training tool!! pretty easy to use-although some of the advanced features seem a bit tricky. I was going to get the new 110, but decided I did want more features. Very happy with my choice.

We, the wife and I, have never been more impressed with a bathroom scale as this one. Accurate and consistent, over and over. Just step on for 3-5 seconds and step off. Big, lit, read out, easy to see and read, day of night. Very stylish. It said we should receive in 5-8 biz days………..we got it in 3 days. Good deal.

After reading the different reviews I wasn’t sure weather to purchase the Forerunner 305, but decided to give it a try. I’m not sure why others can not get good satellite connection, but my device got a lock in the house on a cloudy day, the first time it was turned on. You can’t beat that! I like the information I have access to while running, and with the provided software I can compare my runs. As fare as mapping I’m satisfied, don’t really use the map while running and I can download the route to Garmin Software and NG Topo Maps. Definitely worth the price, an awesome device.

The Microsoft Office that I was using was 97. I bought a new computer, so I wanted to upgrade to Office 2007. I cannot live without Word and Excel. It was about a week before Office 2010 came out, but then I saw a special deal to get 2010 free. I think it runs through September. Amazon was offering 2007 for $99.99 ($50 cheaper than anywhere else) and just by registering my product by September, I could download the new Office 2010. I’m so glad I went this route. I saved money and I love both Office 2007 and 2010. It is well worth your hard earned money to buy Office 2007 with the free upgrade!
