I actually didn’t care that much for the VDT book; I’m kind of hoping the people will make it a bit better, and ACTUALLY SHOW SOME MERMAIDS! That little 16th-of-a-second clip of something that looked remotely mermaidish near the end of WWTW just ain’t gonna cut it with me! The moviemakers cut out lotsa…ahem!…less-desirable romancy scenes? Good grief. I want to become a director!
Good point! Some books are, unfortunately, not God-honoring and are still considered among the best works in literature. Why? I think, personally, that is because they give us universal questions to think over. We apply our worldviews, Christian or not, to what we see, hear, think about and read. The best books really make us question what we are evaluating, they get us to ask ourselves things like: What does this mean to me? Why is this important to the character, and should it be important to me? True, some books are for pure entertainment and that’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. But fame is gained in many ways, and thought-provoking material is a good tagline. Indeed, some of the most famous books in our literary world are evidently non-Christian, which is why we should be careful, obviously, about what we allow to impact us. If we are strong in our faith, really knowing what we believe, then anti-God or God dishonoring books may help us to ask some questions about what our priorities should be. Thank you, Sarah, for bringing up that good point!
Books that are God-honoring and stand true in the face of a world full of lies, and being widely known, read and loved helps, too.
