BEWARE OF THIS BOOK THAT OPRAH IS PUSHING!
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 addresses, 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 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 school children 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 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.

Thank you for sharing. OMWord that title is so deceptive.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of this - thanks for the heads up! Never one to believe without confirming I searched this on Amazon. The first page says "Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions..." You can, read the Bible!
ReplyDeleteI also read the first few pages, scary stuff! It is sad to me that enough people out there are so lost they will believe it.
scary.........
ReplyDeleteScary book!! It is so deceiving...obviously from the great deceiver.
ReplyDeleteGreat new blog by the way!
Congrats on being able to toss all the big sizes and move on to new smaller sizes....something I need to work on, (sorting my clothes)
You are doing great!
Interesting you mention this as while at the Austin airport on our way home from Texas last Sat, my hubby picked up the book Oprah's been pushing (think it was probably the same book). He was appalled by the blatant heresy within too. The fact that Oprah and the man she works with in her "church" think they are above God's laws and can rewrite Truth to fit their beliefs and moral deficiencies is horrific. When I started to see Oprah's pride and agenda shift in her show I began to boycott her! She is more dangerous than people realize.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to keep my eyes out for my friends with kids! Thanks for sharing this!
Amen to that!
ReplyDeleteI managed to get back to blogging, hope you stop in and visit!
