As Nature Made Him  I am about to start reading this book and I wanted the books own review to go here , following by an editoral by the author of Davids book regarding an interview of David and then my book review last. The Dr's involved in Davids case should be given to Dr. Kavorkian for research! In 1967, after a baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his family agreed to a radical treatment. On the advice of a renowned expert in gender identity and sexual reassignment at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the boy was surgically altered to live as a girl. This landmark case, initially reported to be a complete success, seemed all the more remarkable since the child had been born an identical twin: his uninjured brother, raised as a boy, provided to the experiment the perfect matched control. The so-called twins case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine and the social sciences; cited repeatedly over the past thirty years as living proof that our sense of being male or female is not inborn but primarily the result of how we are raised. A touchstone for the feminist movement, the case also set the precedent for sex reassignment as standard treatment for thousands of newborns with similarly injured, or irregular, genitals. But the case was a failure from the outset. From the start the famous twin had, in fact, struggled against his imposed girlhood. Since age fourteen, when finally informed of his medical history, he made the decision to live as a male. John Colapinto tells this extraordinary story for the first time in As Nature Made Him. Writing with uncommon intelligence, insight, and compassion, he also sets the historical and medical context for the case, exposing the thirty-year-long scientific feud between Dr. John Money and his fellow sex researcher, Dr. Milton Diamond--a rivalry over the nature/nurture debate whose very bitterness finally brought the truth to light. A macabre tale of medical arrogance, As Nature Made Him is first and foremost a human drama of one man's-and one family's--amazing survival in the face of terrible odds. The human intimacy of the story is all the greater for the subject's courageous decision to step out from behind the pseudonym that has shrouded his identity for the past thirty years. TO ALL READERS THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO END SUFFERING, MANY WAYS, BUT I KNOW OF ONE THAT WILL END YOUR SUFFERING AND THAT IS TO CALL ON THE NAME OF JESUS! SEEK A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH AND SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BORN-AGAIN FUNDAMENTAL EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS AND I PROMISE YOU GOD WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN...PEOPLE DO THAT NOT GOD!!!!! IF YOU ARE IN ANY KIND OF DISTRESS KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND THAT PEOPLE LOVE  YOU. REACH OUT FOR HELP! YOU CAN ALWAYS CONTACT THE 700 CLUB THEY HAVE A 24 HOUR PRAYER LIINE AND THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT THEN AND THERE.  I WISH DAVID WERE ALIVE TODAY I WOULD OPEN MY HEART AND LIFE TO HIM AND TELL HIM..... THEY HURT ME TOO DAVID!!!!!!!THE DOCTORS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA HURT ME TOO AND THE TEACHERS HELPED THEM DO IT! GOD REBUKE THE TEACHERS AND DOCTORS WHO HURT US BOTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS! TODAY DAVID, TODAY IS OUR DAY! My book review of Davids story : My book review of Davids story : The medical arrogance is at its peak in this true story. A doctor bauches a circumcision, followed by a psychologist who tries to make David into a girl emotionally, psycologically, and physically with disasterous results. I could not put this book down. Usually I mark important information or particular lines that moved me, except for pages 79-90 when I was completly shocked that this kind of treatment of children could even happen let alone be sanctioned by John Hopkins University, the whole book moved me and all I can say is read it for yourself. Read my story at www.hope7.highpowersites.com and consider the fact that even worse things happen every day on school campuses in this country. I wish I had met David and shared my story with him and encouraged him to keep going and keep speaking out its the only way to stop them. I have found that right after you tell your story you fall apart emotionally, psychologically, physcially and the only way to get your momentum and structure back is to keep telling your story, that has been my personal experience anyway. The first time I told my story I felt such shame and guilt as though I had somehow caused my attackers to come up with their cruel concoction against me. What they did destroyed my life in everyway, and left with a broken spirit, a defiled heart and mind and spirit I walked away from all I held sacred and good in my life.I can see that the ten years I was away from my family was something I have to take some responsiblity for however I tried to come back to where I was before, I could not do it. Spiritual darkness cannot save itself only God in heaven can help with the darkness of sin....I am now glad I went through what I did because God did call me back to Him in 1998. I can only say....THANK GOD IN HEAVEN! Due to what they did to me, surely I would have gone to hell, I was a walking dead person spiritually, and although my body is giving out on me now my spirit soars! It just soars. I see now that , although I cannot make bad people like the teachers who attacked me do good, I can thank God for all the good he has done to me in my life including the life he gave to me before my attackers hurt me so badly. I am appreciative for Gods gifts of my family, then and now, and God is moving in my life again and I see great things on the horizon for Gods people. I cant say I am glad the teachers hurt me and others as well, but I can say it is well with my soul and that is a gift from God in heaven, they could not, and did not give me salvation or hope that comes from God, for any of us. I wish I could have told David these things and maybe he would not have felt so ashamed,after all, it wasnt his fault anymore than it was my fault in what happened to me and my family. God is our justice David and Justice has come! And that justice being David that our stories are being read and heard and being reviewed for ethics and more and more of us who have suffered under the intentions of professionals, who in my opinion have to look up to even see the shadow of some common street thugs, are hurting the children of America. I felt for David and his entire family what a horrific ordeal. I could not put this book down, I cried, I got angry, and I am more resovled to keep speaking out about what happened to me at Yuba College. How come Dr. Money did not go to prison for what he did to children but got away with it and even flaunted it for years? Do police just sit around eating donuts all day or do they ever do investigavtive work? I wish David could see that his opeing up and telling what happened by Dr. Money that he has protected other kids from this madness and exposed this man for his twisted methods. Thank you David, I am praying for you and I hope to see you in heaven. Just to think that if Dr. Diamond and others had not persued what happened to David none of us would have found out about it. Information is truely power and there is a change a happening, not just in the medical field, but in our country that says we will no longer stand by and be silent about atrosities nor will allow our children to be hyjacked by activists in public schools or in our supreme courts. I would like to see psychologists and psychiatrists involved in this kind of child abuse to be given to Dr. Kavorkian for research, taken to the brink of death and then revived to have it done over and over again. For research, you know.   Book review of, "The Marketing of Evil' by David Kuplian Awesome book. I get somewhat frustrated with writers, as they do me Im sure, because in my heart I want to say, WORDS , WORDS , WORDS, give me some action.  Then I realize it starts with Words then goes to Works. First faith then works. Knowing that without works faith is dead. May God not allow one of these words in this book to be dead words but living words of faith to do good works from and by to help others. Loved your book. God bless you. Your book should start out the way it ended calling all of into our private rooms to search our hearts and souls and call out to God for His forgiveness and help. AMEN to that.  I have so many pages marked its packed with good stuff, here it goes. Page 22 paragraphs 1 through 7. That is the bottom line that the principles of psychology and advertising are now exposed for what they are, a lie. Their campaign against Christianity is over in that their gulable geinney pigs are now teaching them that they are and were wrong regarding homosexuality. The three stage strategy of Desenstize, Jam and Convert is a common thing used in Colleges/Universities to cram homosexual indocrintation into the minds of students! This book has shown us how corrupt and black hearted the American psychological Association has become.  In a way David, under hypnosis they said horrible things to me and its criminal and one day they will be exposed and I will breath a sigh of relief!   Page 27 para 5 Now is the time for all good men to not only stand on faith but put that faith into works!  Page 29 para 1 through 5.  Truth is they are wrong and this is the only way to attack truth, by attacking the truth tellers, because you cannot change TRUTH no matter how hard you try. Lie does not trump truth, nothing does.  Page 33 para. 7. We can reverse this recruitment of our children into homosexuality ! And we will!  34 para 4 If  you read my book on page 39 quote, "I believe that children raised in same-sex families will demonstrate significant psychological damage and a severe condition known as gender confusion!" Is it no wonder they want into our schools? Page 35 para 2 . Good job. Look out  old fashioned values and traditons are coming back! And with a vengence that only God Himself could have orchestrated!  Page 37pars 1 & 2 Started with Quote, " Glorifying dysfunctionality and corruption we have relieved homosexuls of the inner confilict they once felt over their condition-something they desperately need, indeed all of us need, if were ever going to overcome our problems and find wholeness" End quote.Now that is a sentence worth copying and sending to all MDS in psycology offices across this country!  Page 56 para. 4.  Wow! There you have it, indeed. All churches need to read this, all pastors too.  Page 58 par 3. Brutal honesty works for most honest people and it does bring to light sin, allowing for repentence, the best thing brutal honesty does is enlighten and empower everyone, the opposite is also true, lies bring us all down! DEFYING THE SUPREME COURT IS NOT WRONG IF WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS AGAINST NATURAL LAW OR GODS LAW! Amen to that!  Page 87 para. 1 through 5. Great answer.  Page 96 para 1 & 2 and 3. Excellent. Eyepopping stuff. Near perfect illustration. Page 99. Bravo.  Page 107 para. 2  Quote from this great paragraph. Quote, "Fatherlessness, more than any factor, contributes to personal and social pathology."End Quote. This is why I believe that they target single, poor, children and families and seek to destroy families. Here is a quote from my book to further expound on your comment and thought, Quote " They pick and choose their victims based on preceived weakness and vulnerability.They seem to especially like to attack the poor, the fatherless, the homeless because I imagine that they feel that they wont come after them. I have such bad news for them, GOD SEES! And we could have not ask for a better father figure than GOD Himself, whose vengence surpasses that of any humans." Quote from my book, " The Choice".  Page 118 para 2. So true also. What are we going to do about this? Page 119 par 1 & 2 Yuba College Marysville and Woodland and Sierra College in Rocklin California are beds for this group too. Page 129 para 3. Studies reveal that acts of sexual violence are commonly linked to pornography and the numbers of victims are massive.........They are calling it a sexual holocaust. STUDIES HAVE PROVEN YOU CORRECT ONCE AGAIN. AND THEY WANT TO TEACH THIS IN OUR SCHOOLS? HELLO, WE CANT SIT BACK SILENTLY AND ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.  Page 131 Accurate information. Page 133 HOW WAS IT THAT KINSEY WAS ALLOWED TO DO THESE EXPERIMENTS ON CHILDREN? I ASSURE YOU HE WAS NOT ONLY A REPROBATE MIND BUT A SERIAL PEDOPHILE RAPIST AND A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. WHERE ARE RESPECTABLE POLICE DURING THIS TIME? Page 135 No person condoning Kinsey research or supporting his point of view will ever step foot in heaven. YAAAAAHOOOOOO. Pages 140 & 141 No wonder they use hypnosis because they can hide behind it like little girls!  Page 143 Sexual perversion is ALWAYS present in Satan worship.   The whole chapter 7 on the sabotaging of our schools is a must read.  page 173 3 & 4 are for the so called educated minds. Wake up! Page 175 Fact vs Media distortion.Good call on this one too.  Page 176 para 3  last line. God is our only hope. Page 178 para 4 last line, Page 179 GOD BLESS ISREAL. I witnessed first hand the promotion of Islam in the Presbyterrian church and the fact that they have pulled out support for Isreal is further proof this church is following the steps of Satans church and the Episcopalians. Page 180 FINALLY THE TRUTH. Page 182 para 2 & 4 & 5 Excellent choice.  Pages 184 & 185 esp last paragraph on page 185 and para. 2 esp. on page 184 Page 191 My family read the whole chapter 9 and we plan on getting the two videos . We watched them and cried. Page 198 & 206 Good job. LOVED THIS BOOK. RERENTED THIS BOOK TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. GOD BLESS YOU.

The begining of the review of the book, " LOOK WHAT HAPPENED WHILE YOU WHERE SLEEPING" By a Friend of MEDJUGORJE. Here are a few pages that I thought jumped out while I was reading this sincere book by an educated author.  These pages held meaning for me as a Christian woman who was targetted for her faith in God and later after mentioning that I might write about this murder targetted again.  I loved the section on the Nine Declarations of Restoration on pages 166-167. I would like to have seen more declarations made but this is a great start.I loved the line, quote on page 166,".....by returning to the Christian principles which will secure our childrens future and our nation's continuance." end quote. I could not agree with you more if I had written this book myself. Pg 184 The Declaration of Independence is the legal authority and human rationale for reclaiming our country. Bravo! Quote from page 184, " The Declaration of Independence , carefully studied, gives a legal basis for a revolution to restore America. end quote. Pg 185 Quote, " What  country can preserve its liberty if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Reminds me of my book, " The Choice" page 47, quote " I RESIST IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" Hallelujah! Pg 189 The quote on page 189 by Pope Benedict needs to be said again and again. I enthusiastically support the comments of Pope Benedict in admonishing adoption agencies to defy new laws of illicit marriages and adoptions and refuse to fill out any paperwork or grant adoptions of children to illicit and unnatural marriage unions. THERE ARE GOOD MEN AND WISE MEN TODAY!! If you read my book the chapter titled , "Wake up America" that chapter states the same thing. Pgs 191-193 I have circled so much on these pages and underlined them to the point that I just put down that all three pages are inspirational. This particluar quote by Thomas Jefferson struck me deeply;"When once a republic is corrupted, there is not possiblity of remedying any of the growing evils but removing the corrupton and restoring its lost principles;every other correction is either uselss or a new evil" end quote. Congratulatons for saying what needed to be said; now may our God in heaven do what needs to be done through us!!!  I agree that Global warming is a scam on the larger political level however, like so much of the lies that secular supposed learned people feed us, there is a sprinkle of truth in that we are custodians of this earth and all that is in it. Mankind as a whole is superior on every level to nature and is not to take advantage of that heighth but instead should be overly conscientious of natures needs. I dont want to seem hard nose but it is an easy out to say "God will fix it!" In the past, as now,there is a certain order to nature such as; God-Mankind-Animals-Earth. And as in nature there are levels within levels ie species and genus etc Man is to look after woman, woman is to look after children ,just as a man would cherish his wife and children as a heirachy of natures plan and each in need of the other and all in need of God! Natures plan deserves that respect but, so typical of male thinking to charge over the top of lesser beings on the premise of, because I can I will". Just doing minor changes such as alternative fuel source to gasoline, recycling when possible. We can make good changes in small ways.  I applaud your book in regards to leading others to live a more Christian lifestyle of honoring God, but dont leave out the personal one-on-one relationship that God desires with each of us individually. You inspired me to serve God a little better and to follow the ten commandments a little closer. We are human and will fall but thanks to Gods Holy Spirit we get back up and keep going. I applaud your book in that it exposes lies,lies in our schools,lies in our state and federal level government, lies in our own White House and it is good to say and warn all of us that we will lose all of what we have worked to be as Americans if changes do not occur to restore some level of Godliness to our country. Not a Godliness that is fake, and therefore powerless but comes from God in heaven Himself. You are right that if we do not do something that America, as we have always known it, will cease to be. Pages of much significance, that I feel I must mention in the book, " Look what happened while you where sleeping" are: Pages in reference to the GOVERNORS SCHOOLS are necessary for American families to read about because these schools are a very demonic thing. I think it is possible that this is another place they do hypnosis on students  because ot the topics covered but also because of how it adversely affects the students who attend.   The UN's  "Agenda 21" plans are also not something we should support. If you read page 323 regarding Michael Shaws " Freedom 21 Santa  Cruz" about Global land use, Global education, Global population control and reduction then it will become clear that these are not just men we are fighting but principalities and powers of darkness!   Pages 328 & 329 are very eye popping as to the sublte changes that are occurring among our youth. This is also even more frightening to me that the above. We can reverse this brain washing of our youth but we must first learn about what is happening and then remove our children. I think a NATIONAL REMOVE YOUR KIDS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL DAY SHOULD BE DONE , this is the only way! Pages 330 & 331 Are must reads, and re-reads too.  Page 361  I confirm Our Lady, quote " Pray because you are in great temptation and danger....satan is in this plan" Other very important pages for me include;406-409, 420-421,431-433,436-442, and lastly 458-463 Sincerely ending this book review with this quote from the last cover page, quote, " IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT AND PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURITY" FROM OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENCENCE! Inspired by this book,  My own ten "DECLARATIONS OF RESTORATION OF CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES" as a Christian woman to our countrymen: 1. I declare that two men of every city in Amercia voluntarily go to spend a week of every year to walk the borders of Canada and Mexico to fill in the huge gaps our military is incapable of filling to protect us! No exceptions, these men are to be volunteers, like in days of old! It is possible to do the impossible I can see this happening in the future. 2. I declare that men start verbally speaking out and exposing predators in our school systems and if need be physically picking them up and tossing them out of the building. Remember Jesus removed the theives , these men are stealing our woman and children and even some of our men! Shouldnt we do the same for human beings? Now if you get in a bit of a mess with the law, pray, ask for Gods help and you will see more help in those few moments than you have seen in your whole life! Guarenteed. Your woman and children need you now like never before in history! 3. I declare that the people of this country stop worrying about Hollywood and her money and stop honoring political correctness. AND START ENJOYING LIFE AGAIN! Be free from the contraints of the worldview and show love to everyone , MEANS TO speak the truth even if it hurts, or seems rude, because Gods Holy Spirit will do the rest in healing this land! I promise! 4.I declare an end to all secret clubs and societies, period, no exceptions. If men want to form their little boys, " No Girls Allowed" clubs  then let it be an open forum so anyone at anytime can look on and observe your idiocy and have a good laugh. God knows this country could use a good laugh at your expences! For too long you have been laughing at our country an its people!!! NO MORE!That sounds a little rude, it is, but our safety relies on our ability to know what is going on in this cournty and your little secret hypnosis mind games undermines that safety. God himself will stop you!!! 5.I declare that no club or organization, including military may recruit or be on school campuses ever! No grade, no school, including colleges. If they want to join a club they are their own people and know where to find you. We Americans pay the taxes that run our schools and our children are not being protected so from here on out I demand a "no clubs or organizations" sign on all public schools! 6. I declare that any teacher found to be verbally or physically abusive to any student on or off campus, including use of hypnosis on or off campus, not only be fired but loose their teaching license forever!  Their names are to be posted on the doors of all schools and police stations!No exceptions. 7. I declare that all school buses, either private or public, that haul children have seat belts put in immediately. No exceptions. 8. I declare that all Christian men financially support their families and their wives are to stay home and care for the children. Woman can work form home but they are needed at home to care for their children and their husbands and no matter what the husband makes that should be their sufficient income and adjustments to spending lifestyle needs to be made accordingly. No expections. We can restore our country but it starts with small things! 9. I declare that churches open their doors to providing Christian schools. If we all did that then our children would carry the Christian torch to the next generation. And churches should give more money and time to the poor. Pastors need to be of a higher quality cloth or humble enough to know that God is the only reason to be a pastor! And that pastors set the highest example of Biblical teaching or lose their positions. This generation needs Godly men, not secular men in Godly places 10. I declare Holy marriage between a man and a woman only for all time. No matter what lifestyle someone lives may Gods natural order of things remain forever until His glorious and fantastic day of reclaiming us forever! THAT FELT GOOD!IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!

Some critique of the book, " Culture Warrior" by Bill O'Reilly:  The Bible is clear that practicing homosexuality is a sin ( that does not mean that God is not calling them to come back to him or that this sin is worse than anyother sin in life,it is just fact), why then would you not be concerned with placing children in a sinful environment? Adults living that life is one thing, that is their choice, but to put children in that environment is a far greater travisty to them and our country. My opinion is based on Biblical research and personal experience , college hypnosis and horrific images and perverse suggestions made to me ( in regards to sexual immorality) and ,witnessing the murder of a seventeen yo boy at the hands of a practicing homosexual, and the discrimination I faced when I spoke out regarding this topic and of reading the papers, reading information on homosexuality on web sites and hearing other peoples personal stories of experiences with the homosexual community and or personal lifestyle. I say we are doing a severe psycological harm to these children in the long run, maybe not to start but in the long run it should be avoided at all costs. It is my uneducated but from a nursing medical standpoint I am not totally ignorant on this subject, and sincerest, opinion that children raised in same-sex families will have a large number who suffer a severe condition known as gender confusion.We are already seeing this in areas that are extremely liberal. It's like the same image distoration that anorexic's have ( You are not born with homosexuality and you are not born with anorexia,it is a learned response to environmental stimuli or peer pressure) because no matter what reality is they seem to have a totally distorted version of their body image. Hello, this is what will happen to some children raised in this environment and some are likely, without help, to commit suicide due to severe confusion regarding their sexuality. Still feel that way Bill? I am glad you spoke about " restorative justice" thats the rich mans dual of arms in my opinion , the elites bullism from the upper class (say it with a Thirston accent). It is fact and it is wrong. Cashman is a dangerous man, that too is fact. It reminded me of a former minister here that I once had a lively debate regarding homosexuality with several years ago. He basically said to" love your neighbor", I told him that the Bible did not mean "physically loving them", but spiritually, big difference in how we relate to them and reach out to them! Yes I can love them and care about them and still speak out about the sin of homosexuality inorder to prevent others from suffering. Mr. Murphy was an Episcopalian minister but I read in the papers he started a group for " social justice" sounds alot like" restorative justice" doesnt it? He also has ties with University of Wyoming, just fyi! Significant only if you know that these groups are liberal and use underground mehtods to perform their social justice. Overall the book was good. His poignant, honest reporting was helpful to me in my healing process because it answered some questions for me. Your book gave me a feeling of hope that with more of us speaking out we can help restore America to her former place of honor in history, God willing. I will not let the Jeffery C. and the unknown mexican boys stories go unheard. I hope to honor this Jeffery boy and the John Doe boy somehow, stopping predator teachers and this organization would do it, wouldnt it? Thanks for writing it. I would like to start my second book, " College Criminals that use hypnosis on unsuspecting students". Too long a title? Maybe just. "Gods justice" on the state college level perverts" Ok the title is not set in stone yet but I hope to start it soon. I have to try something new since what I have been doing I have done to the hilt. After some time with the Lord I think a better title is in the making possibly ie " Gods Grace on a perverse and crippled America" a true story of what is happening on college campuses in America, to try and reach some for Christ. If for no other reason the book highlighted the tragic murder of the 10 yo boy Jeffery C, the son of Barbara C. , whom was brutally raped and murdered by two men and they gagged him with a rag dowsed in gasoline...can you just imagine what he went through for one minute...and that one of the predators claimed he had gotten this idea from NAMBLA...Hello predatorville for homosexual men and heterosexual men. And how the ACLU is protecting these sexual predators. It was very important that you wrote this book to expose these type of groups and hopefully this will make a difference in our country, even if it makes a difference to only one person, that would make your writing it worth it. Book review of, " Walking straight in a crooked world",by Don Aycock    Good book in the genre of inspirational memoirs of a young minister.  Packed with interesting short stories to emphasize his points. I dont feel my time was wasted on this book. Thought provoking and an all round good book. I give it a 2.75 out of a 5 points and a recommendation to anyone else, a good curl up with a cup of tea, windy day kind of book when you want something not heavy and not to giddy either, a middle of the road positive thinking book sprinkled with life stories by Don Aycock.

Now for the book review on the book, " The Homosexual agenda" by Sears and Osten  In reading the book, " The Homosexual agenda". Where to start? I have several pages of notes and will try and condense them. First of all Thank you Jesus! The WHAT is happening and the HOW it is happening and the WHERE it is happening I already knew first hand but this book answered the WHO is doing it from an objective source...PRAISE GOD!   I suspect that these are the same groups/people who attacked me at Yuba College and the same ones that targetted me and my family.The facts and the testimonials of others who have been attacked helped me feel like I was not alone. Truthfully I became one in spirit and truth with the survivors of your book!    Also, at every turn where evil seemingly prevails, God prevails even more, this is proven over and over again in scripture. Gods church will not be destroyed or stopped no matter what they do to us! Good points of book: pg 24 & 25 Companies I will no longer support! pg 52 My heart just ached because this is wrong. What the GLSEN/NEA and affliates are doing is so wrong and sick! pg 77 & 78 If we all attended one of GLSEN's meetings, opened it in prayer asking God to open our eyes to sexual sin and applied for an official position and see if they would discriminate against us based on the same reasons they sue for discrimination, what would happen? Something good, they would be forced to play by the rules....which I suspect they do not acknowledge even exist except for them! pg 62& 63 Our country needs to wake up, families need to wake up, Gods people need to wake up!!!! pg 67 If we all removed our children this year from public schools and the enrollment dropped drastically nation wide would they change and be more open to conservative Christian views and less open to the sexually promiscuous view points? And would this force them to remove pro-homosexual clubs such as GLSEN from public schools in order to protect our children from homosexual activists in our school system? YES, YES, YES!!!!! pg 71 third para, 2nd line:Quote: The public school system in America is no longer a safe place for any kids! End quote..I say.. In their efforts to be fair to one group they have run off all the others, sounds unfair and that too makes it unsafe if you ask me. pg 83-87 I have experinced first hand their idea of tolerance when they harassed me because I wrote letters to Sacramento Legislators and followed by the attack at college....God bless freedom of speech for only the selected, what does that sound like to you? The very reason I wrote letters to Sacramento legislators in the 1980's was regarding the safety of children from homosexual teachers. Quote from this book, " A 1988 STUDY IN THE ARCHIEVES OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR FOUND THAT 86% OF PEDOPHILES IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS EITHER HOMOSEXUAL OR BISEXUAL" end quote. Now I dont think, but if you think our children are safer in school because of secular, liberal legislation regarding protection of homosexual teachers in education and hiring/firing of such teachers you are grossly misstaken! pg 88 Quote, " WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN ACADEMIA IS JUST A MICROCOSM OF THE GREATER GOAL OF HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS TO USE THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT TO SILENCE AND PUNISH THOSE WHO DO NOT AFFIRM HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR". end quote.Two lawyers said this....truth from lawyers....thats so refreshing! God bless you! pg 102 & 109  and 138 WOW! pg 141 Good job Knights of Columbus, keep up the good work, that was cool. I loved chapter 7. With my own eyes I know what your saying! pg 167 Thomas epitomizes what the homosexual Holocaust against our children is all about in his statement regarding what he'd like to do to the Boy Scouts! Lets pray for him but watch this one, he scares me. pg 173 quote, and this could be a summary of the book, " YET IT IS IRONIC THAT WHILE THE MEDIA AND HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS AND THEIR ALLIES IN GOVERNMENT BLASTS BISHOPS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR LETTING THOSE WHO PREY ON TEENAGE BOYS IN, THEY CRITICIZE BOY SCOUTS FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO KEEP POTENTIAL SEXUAL PREDATORS OUT".end quote. May the angels of God in heaven protect our sons in Boys Scouts.  177 & 178  Speaks about APA and associations, very interesting since when they did hypnosis on me at Yuba College they did the same thing in order to hurt me! Heres an association for you Yuba College, Wilkerson, Altman, May, Badaracco (HOMOSEXUALS- PEDOPHILES).Theres an association for you American Psycology Association and Pediatric Associations that should cause a rethinking of added protections for homosexual teachers in our public school system, if the teachers are not doing anything wrong they dont need anymore protection than any other teacher! pg 204 Powerful!  Things I would change: I would change the title of the book, it scares people off and nice little old granny will not carry such a book with her Bible, it might start fizzing or something. Suggestions for other titles that granny would carry ...ok maybe a little harsh. a) THE HOMOSEXUAL HOLOCAUST AGAINST AMERICAS CHILDREN b) GLSEN AND NEA HANG SIGN ON SCHOOL DOOR, " CHILDRENS CARNAL CARNIVAL" OR CCC FOR SHORT. THE ONLY THING THEY DONT TELL YOU IS YOUR CHILD RETURNS HOME WITH DONKEY TAIL AND EARS. c) THE KOTEX PHENOMENON ( granny would not carry this one either) d) GLSENS NOSE KEEPS GROWING DESPITE NEA'S COVER UP e) HOW HOMSEXUALS MAKE MORE HOMOSEXULS, NOT GOD f) THE RECRUITMENT OF AMERICAS CHILDREN INTO HOMOSEXUALITY g) EXPOSING THE PRIVATE SIDE OF GLSEN h) HOMOSEXUALS USE REVERSE MIDAS TOUCH ON CORPORATE AMERICA i)THE FALL OF THE USA BY HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS AND PREDATORS j) What Homosexual Nazi activists in America have in common with Nazi Germany and Hitler.  Maybe a tad harsh but it gets your attention! Ok keep your title...loved the book, it made me feel so much better about what happened to me because I now know Im not alone that other conservative Christians in public schools are being harassed by the very ones asking for tolerance! Well, I guess you could say I think this book is very much needed and I know that it will help others like myself to know they are not alone and we can, have and will continue to make a difference as long as we tell what happens to us and others and not shirk back! I must be getting better my reviews are milder than they used to be...a miracle from God! GOD BLESS YOU! BOOK REVIEW FOR THE BOOK, " THE TRUTH ABOUT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE" By Edwin Lutzer This is my book review of this book, it does not reflect this sites opinions, it is however my thoughts regarding this well written and much needed book. I am a retired nurse and have never, not even considered, being discriminatory in my nursing care to anyone who does not hold to the same belief system as myself and ask that you do the same in my review of this book. Page 15 Defines the reason the book is written in the first place on para. 4 line 1 quote, The purpose of this book is to encourage and equip  God's people to defend marriage, giving reasons why its definition should not be broadened  include same-sex marriages.end quote I have then put down the points I feel that are made that support this statement. Reasons I found in this book to not support same-sex marriage. 1. Because the decision to accept what the Bible deems as sin as ok in our society will PROFOUNDLY AND ADVERSELY  AFFECT ALL OF US.   I use as my argument page 25 para 3. And page 60 quote, " We cannot wrest children from the God-given format of family relationships without serious consequences. Also page 62 quote by Mary Stewart van Leeuwen, a Christian feminist, says, She predicts unforeseen consequences from such a radical overhaul of mariage and family.end quote 2. Because it will not reinforce marriage as a wholesome institution desired by humanity to adopt stable communities but will in effect destroy the instituition of marriage all together and thereby dissolve the moral fibers of each city, town, state and ultimately our country as a whole. I believe with all my heart that traditional marriage needs to be defined inorder to protect the sanctity of life for the next generations to come.I stand on page 27 the last paragraph and page 28 the first paragraph stating, quote ;  ..who is to say that it is to be limited to two people? Why not a trio of three men or woman? Or why not one man with two wives or ten?, After all, we must extend " equal rights" to all individuals to live according to any arragement they wish. end quote And page 62 para. 2 quote by James Skillen of the Center for Public Justice predicts" Its going to be increasingly possible to produce children, buy, and sell children, because in addition to adoption, that is the only way homosexual couples can have children." end quote.  Why I ask is the supposed nondiscriminatory medical field in the business of hurting individuals like myself who possess a faith, a conviction to speak out, a resolve to protect traditional families when they are in fact it appears from a nurses perspecive that the medical field is involved in helping to produce by renting of wombs, procuring of eggs, and seperating families? Is it really only all about money and power and getting what you want so da*n G*d, da*n the truth, da*n natural law, da*n what children want or need in life because it appears as though portions of the medical field are saying that the gay couple is all that matters here, right? If I am wrong please correct me. 3. If we are to be followers of Jesus then we must follow the Bible. The Bible is not unclear on the subject of sexual immorality, either homosexual or heterosexual. Standing on page 35 para. 5 stating quote ;We must point out that the Bible does not speak about homosexuality with a muffled voice.end quote 4. Because to do anything but speak out for traditional marriage and against same-sex marriage would continue to let down the homosexul who is waking up to the fact that homosexuality is a choice and is trying to leave that life style. To anyone seeking to leave the homosexual community I just would like to say....its possible through Jesus!Page 37 paragraphs 2 & 3. Quote; I believe that we as evangelicals have failed these people, many of whom populate our churches. As a pastor I've listened to their stories of brokeness and heartache. I've heard stories of molestation, of the emptiness of sex without commitment, without love, without caring. No matter what we see on televesion, the gay community is hurting, compulsively acting out behavior to cover their pain. These are the people for whom we must have compassion, understanding, and care. Its a hurting world out there, and all of the wells are dry.end quote 5. Because woman is the suitable partner for a man and visa-versa. Page 45 para.2 quoting the book that is quoting the Bible;" IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE MAN TO BE ALONE; I WILL MAKE HIM A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM". 6. There is a horrible lie being told these days and its that speaking regarding the sin of homosexuality breeds violence against the homosexual or causes impressionable new homosexuals to become suicidal. THAT IS A LIE. I reference page 59 para. 4. quote, " Evidence suggests that the reason there are more suicides among homosexuals is not because of the ridicule they receive from heterosexuals, but rather because of the inner confilict that the lifestyle of necessity brings with it.end quote 7. Some of the phenomenon we are seeing can be blamed on Christians and their fear of speaking out. So as I have said we become silent victims of an increasingly liberal society and bring a curse on our children and our countrymen and ourselves.Quote from page 69 which I wholeheartedly support quote, "When we turn from the Lord, He does not fight for us, but allows us to be distressed by those who oppose us."end quote 8. Biggest lie of all. We are told that homosexuality is a birth condition, IT IS NOT. But even if there was a predisposition I support page 73. Quote, "Even if we argue that we are born with certain predispositions, we still have human responsibltiy for our lifestyles and actions. end quote. Choice. AMEN brother Lutzer, Christians are empowering those who practice homosexuality by saying to you that it is your choice and you can leave that lifestyle if you so choose! Now that is a better philosophy if you ask me, giving someone a choice that is  REAL LOVE.  Summary of book review for, THE TRUTH ABOUT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BY ERWIN LUTZER  Page 77 Quote " Chaste homosexuals like chaste herterosexuals, must be enfolded within the community of the church. They need the support of the wider Christian community, and the larger family of God." end quote. I agree. It must seem strange to care about the practicing homosexual but stand up so adamently against homosexuality as I do but I tell you even if my life was different and I had not experienced the things in life that I have I would still stand on what they Bible says. No one is perfect. We all need the Truth and God, anything else will not save us and is a lie.  Page 80 is very, very good too. Quote, " The homosexual movement , with its stringent insistence that all oppositoin be silenced, has been " imposing" its agenda on society with a vengence. end quote. Just look at what they did to me!!!  Page 83 is frightening. Quote, " Many homsexual males disitinguish between emotional fidelity and sexual exclusivity. end quote. Dangerous and sad.  Page 93 para 2. Third, we must carfully nurtue and protect our young people. Studies have shown that a child who readches puberty can either become ha homosexual or heterosexual depending on environmental factors. end quote. TRUTH IN BLACK AND WHITE.  And finally the pages that I feel repremand the Church as a whole for not speaking out more and these pages make this book valuable to the Church as a whole. Pages 97, 99,103 All of chapter 6 titiled, WE MUST SEEK GOD esp page 107.  Thank you brother Lutzer for book I have added it to the back of my book as a book to read.

Book review of the FLDS former member who escaped from human trafficking and sexual bondage and you can read her inspiring story in her book, " Stolen Innocence". I give this brave writer a 10 for her book, its accuracy, its brutal honesty, and her pain come through loud and clear.It is nothing short of a miracle from God Himself. Her story is shocking but we all have known deep down this is what happens when men are allowed to go unchecked in their arrogance. GOD BLESS YOU. God is using your story to set people free from the bonds of a satanic false religion known as Mormonism that is based upon a false prophets. While I do support the Mormon church on this issue of supporting traditional marriage and I do support the family wholesome values and environment that their church promotes there are also some disturbing aspects to the Mormon church I simply cannot condone that this book reveals quite well. The Mormon church falls to the far left of what I would say is main stream Christianity and although I defend them against attacks and appreciate their help with Prop. 8. lets not forget the following. LETS NOT FORGET: 1.JESUS IS NOT, NOR EVER WILL BE, THE BROTHER OF SATAN. Satan is a fallen angel, Jesus is Gods only son, Gods word made flesh....satan and Jesus are polar opposites and in no way related. 2. OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SPIRIT BABIES. The children we conceive are the products of two individuals who have become one in spirit.....there are no spirit babies alive on another realm that come down to earth to be reborn, Jesus was the only true spirit baby, if you will . 3. JOSEPH SMITH WAS AND IS TODAY A FALSE PROPHET AND THE CHURCH HE BUILT WAS FOUNDED AS A FALSE RELIGION. If the Mormon church were to change its total foundation and follow Godly principles and be guided by Gods Holy Spirit only, removing all their prophets...because they are all false, then it would be a legitimate religion. 4. POLYGAMY IS A SIN. Whether it was Christ or after Christ to have multiple spouses is a sin against God. If you cannot be faithful to one spouse who is with you then it is virtually impossible that you can be faithful to one God whom you cannot see. 5. THE MORMON BIBLE IS IN ERROR. The only Bible that is recognized by mainstream Christianity is the Holy Bible and its versions only and no other is necessary and is even considered an evil to have your own versionan additional Bible of ie THE MORMON BIBLE WHICH IS FULL OF ERRORS THAT MISLEAD OTHERS FROM CHRIST. There are many , many other issues addressed in the movie "GOD MAKERS" ie blood atonement to name only one but by far the most disturbing one is that suggestion that they perform secret sexually charged rituals within the temples, if so this too is wrong. No, I am sorry I cannot and will not support the Mormon church on any ground other than their stand for tradtional marriage and stand in between them and satanic forces at work within the homosexual community that would harm them for making a right move. Period. No more, no less. If you are an active member of the Mormon church I would encourage you to confront your elders with these issues brought up in this book by a former FLDS member in " Stolen Innocence",and to stand up for what is right for your families, to try and make some changes to steer the church toward Godly precepts, if not I would seek a Church that is closer to the mainstream Christianity. PS God alone judges the heart..serve God only.  Book review Aug. 31, 2008 for the book, "DUMBING US DOWN" by John Taylor Gatto. Praise God a teacher with Hutzpah, in English, guts! You've got to read my story John!  But I have a sneaky suspicion you already know what has been going on in schools regarding hypnosis on students, dont you? Your personal account on the river bank was a little weird, are you sure that nothing inappropriate happened to  you on that river bank or at the dock? I only ask because it appears to have some inside story or joke or some significance possibly. I do not presume to interject such a thing just wanted  you to know if something did happen to you that you are not like them, you choose to be who you are no one else can for any major length of time convince  you that you are like them if you put your trust in God. Marked so many pages it would be better to tell you which I like least rather than to tell you of the pages I liked most. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air in a stagnat and irritatingly sinful profession known as public education.  In the section"about the author" I liked these commments: Quote. The trouble was that the unlikeliest kids kept demonstrating to me at random moments so many of the hallmarks of human excellence-insight, wisdom, justice, resourcefulness, courage, origninality-that I became confused. end quote. Trouble is John that is how God works, in the most unlikeliest of people! A murderer ( really I have called him a murdurer but in reality it was more self-defense or in defense of someone else making it not murder per say I guess the real thing to say is he killed a man) named Moses was called to lead and to bring us the ten commandments, a shepard boy named David by all standards meek and mild was called to be a king, God himself choose Mary a poor carpenters fiancee to bring us the son of God himself by way of a hay filled manger in a barn. That is our righteous and perfect will of God he is the creator of using the unlikliest! Quote. But once loose, the idea could imperil the central assumptions which allow the institutional school to sustain itself, such as the false assumption that it is difficult to learn to read, or that kids resist learning, and many more. Indeed, the very stability of our ecomonjy is threatened by any form of education that might change the nature of the human product schools now turn out: The economy school children currently expect to live under and serve would not survive a generation of young people trained, for example, to think critically.end quote. Wow, that is the crux of this whole book. Children as products of this countries economic system ,as robotic machines ,to keep us afloat instead of human beings with a spirit that is already preordained to serve God not man!!! The whole chapter 1 titled, " The seven-lesson schoolteacher. Those seven lessons being taught our children every school year in every public school are the following; The public school teaches confusion, class position, indifference, emotional dependency, intellectual dependency, provisional self-esteem, one cant hide. This entire chapter scared the begeebies out of me, because I know it is true, and wonder why noone else has put 2 and 2 together yet! Page 13 of this chapter was good as well as pages 17-19.  Chapter 2 titled, The Psychopathic school" darn near made me cry it was so dead on! I marked pages 20 -28 broke my heart. I know that I am doing the right thing in homeschooling! Thanks for confirming it. Quote: The children I teach are indifferent....The children I teach have almost no curiosity.....The children I teach have a poor sense of the future, of how tomorrow is inexplicably linked to today, The children I teach are ahistorical...The children I teach are cruell to each other, they lack compassion for misfortune, they laugh at weakness, they have contempt for people whose need for help shows too plainly.... The children I teach are uneasy with intimacy or candor....The children I teach are materialistic...The chidren I teach are dependent, passive and timid. End quote. Thank you for proving that public schools are breeding more  Tim and Pauls everyday.Sad but factual!  Page 59 par 3 mid par states,...while the education administered ( by public schools)  is ill regarded by everyone, the institutions right to compel its clientele to accept such dubious service is still guaranteed by the police. This sentence leads me to suspect that you know what is happening as do I! I have a powerful God who is at this moment in the processes of exposing them and at the same time eventually leading to their retreat on such practices! Help me stop them!  Page 61 par 2 quote, " Why, then ,are we locking kids up in an involuntary network with strangers for twelve years? end quote. Strangers is good but may I add some are very strange, even criminal. Why indeed?  Page 62 your talk of community and pseudo-community was an interesting analogy to discribe the interactions of school life. Page 79  Quote, " This catches a peice of whats wrong with compulsory schols as large as New England towns, schools that dont allow any choice of curricula, philosophy, or companions." end quote.To me companions means friends since schools are notorious for seperation upper class from lower classes as you stated so well in this book, it prevents some very profound and necessary friendships that are mutally beneficial despite class.  Page 91 par 1 in discussing the institition of schools  you say quote, " In the most literal sense thy are impossible to reform because they have ceased to be human, having been transformed into abstract structures of superb efficiency, independent of lasting human control survival mechanisms. This is not a devil you can wrestle with as Daniel Webster did with Old Scratch, but one thtat has to be starved to death by depriving it of victims" end quote. I get it! TAKE YOU KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL NOW!!!!  Page 99 this one page could best describe clinically what is happening in our schools systems to our CHILDREN!!!! Par 2 quote; " Such an economy has desperate needs; in order to work, it requires a particular kind of " human resource," specifically one driven to define itself by purchasing things, by owning " stuff," by evaluting everything from the perspective of comfort, physcial security, and status." Par 3 quote;" Schools are a great mechanism to condtion the on rushing generations to accept total management , to impose a kind of lifelong childishness on most of us in the interest of scientific mangament."  end quote. This is a good place to leave off my review because I could  not have said it better, only a teacher could be qualified to have said this to us. Thank you for being not like Tim and Paul and the institiuiton that attacked and targetted me. Great book. I have been recommending it to everyone. I even went to a teachers appreciation BBQ recently and took your book, and mine, what gall I know! Thank my God in heaven because he alone rescued me! Conclusion:He seems a little strange himself but anyone tainted by the public school system cant come out of its conveyor unscathed in my opionion. GL

Review of Book, " Experiencing the Resurrection" by Henry and Melvin Blackaby 11-17-08. Cool book. I have read many Christian life books but this one is one of my favorites. It put Christs death and resurrection in a new light for me. I see that if I died with Christ , spiritually speaking, then I am also risen with Christ,spiritually speaking, which means as a Christian I am living in a spiritually resurrected state. Since we are born physically and again spiritually when we accept Jesus into our lives as our Lamb of God, born a second time through Jesus. What the book taught me anyway is that  I take to mean that when I die that will actually be my second death ( since I have died with Christ) and when I am resurrected physically that will be my second resurrection! Praise the Lord! Life is good when you put your trust in God. It was an empowering book to read and also very deep and draws you into a quiet place of realization of Gods great power and love and nothing....nothing can seperate us from that love, nothing. For me the whole book was valuable but one line did stand out as I was finishing the book on pages 208 and 209 that says, quote, " Dont limit yourself by your abilities, but allow the resurrected Christ to live through you in power."  And among so many other things this one thing is what Christ is all about, which is, bringing us home!  I liked that it mentions when satan is throwing up the past to us to throw up his future to him. Praise God we do have a glorious end awaiting. I rate this book five stars for its inpirational guidance toward a deeper walk with Christ.   Book Review , " OVERCOMING THE ADVERSARY" by Mark Bubeck. Thank you for writing a book about spiritual distress and providing Biblical tools to overcome these times in our lives. If you are a Christian and dont know what Mark is talking about you need to read this book. If you are a Christian who is a living part of the body of God then you will experience spiritual distress of somekind and this book is valuable in alleviating unnecessary worry about what is happening in your life and helps you to realize you are not alone in this phenomenon. This book encourages you to embrace what is happening with Godly joy and peace because it will work for your good in the end, it always does, just a Biblical fact. If you know of any Christians or non-Christians who are under the influence of satanic forces and under evil oppression reading this book will help you to help them through prayer and scripture reading. After reading this book I was very happy and more confident in my walk with Christ. We should remind each other that satan is not invincible and that God always wins in the end.Choose which team you will play for, I choose Gods.GODS TEAM ALWAYS WINS! EVENTUALLY. Five stars.   Review of book, '90 minutes in heaven" by Don Piper    A pastor I once knew had preached about Don Pipers story and had on several occasions recommended this book to me. I have ever since then wanted to read Don Pipers story. Today while rummaging through some old books at a sale I reached out and picked this book from all the others. I was ecstatic. I went home and began reading it even before the book I had just received in the mail from paperback. The real message in this book for me is the power of prayer! Dons story was so riveting but for me the real miracles of this story are in the answers to prayers. While his recounting the recovery was a good idea for those who have had this kind of horrific experience they did not much for me. I did find it interesting but not overly interesting. I agree with other reviews that in some parts of the book in the middle it is a little dry and boring for the average reader but I expect it is not for someone who has endured similiar pain and suffering.  First thing is I would change the title because it sounds like a Paris Hilton video. I would expound on more of the pre-accident conference and what it was about and what state of mind I was in during the conference and on the drive, I would mention the events of the week leading up to the conference, I would tell of my faith and my ministry prior to the accident and after the accident, I would mention the names of others that where touched by the story, and include more post-accident events. I would focus mainly on the answers to prayers. I would remove many pages on the recovery and make a seperate book regarding recovery topics etc for encouragement to those enduring trauma etc. This book helped me to look more forward to the day I leave this world behind me. Prayer....its real....so is heaven. Im glad we have them both. I rate this book a 3 for its story content and outreach. It could have been a 5 if written differently with more emotion and heart tugging sentiment...just the thing most guys hate but woman love.   December 11, 2008 Book review, " Peculiar Treasures" by Fredrick Buechner.  Only one page turned me off it was when the author mentioned Dr. Kinseys report. Dr. Kinsey that I feel is a reprobate mind and criminal, and had no place in a book of this high caliber. After more thought it is the stain that ruins this book really. What is good about this book is that it is humorous and witty, and after thinking about it more,  I have to change my review here some because it is actually what is so indicative of what is happening in our society in regards to how our faith is being deluted down in subtle ways. In very subtle ways, similiar to this books humorous side, satan has crept into our lives, in our marriages, our churches, our communities , our schools, our government, and even our country. It is done so conivingly that we sometimes dont even pick up on it the first time, but what is so good about the time we are in now is that God is waking His people up to this deception and we know that God is invicible, we are not , but He is and satan is now exposed for what he is doing and by calling the elephant in the room we can now diminish its devasting effects on our lives and those around us. I would not recommend this book because it takes the truth of the Bible and , though spattered with humor, deludes the truth by interjecting evil in a sublte way. We can take back was has been infiltrated by satan if we first wake up to it, pray, and stay in Gods word! Here is amended book review: Book review, " Peculiar Treasures" by Fredrick Buechner. I am reading an interesting book titled, " Peculiar Treasures" by Fredrick Buechner. What a funny man and adorable writer. He has written a book about different people of the Bible and in each synopsis he includes wit, humor and truth intertwined with what he would image their life was like back in the days. I laughed and I learned a few things. I learned Im a schlemozzle! Yeppers, that would be me. I learned what a schlemiel is too. In my thinking its better to be a schlemozzle because they are consistently trustworthy whereas a schlemiel I dont think is as trustworthy. Funny thing Im ok with being less than perfect and I am enjoying praying the docrinal prayers I learned recently, so schlemiel away. I especially enjoyed the synopsis on Job, the grand pubah of schlemozzlery. Jobs story was done so well and so gently that it was as if Mr. Buechner knew him personally. While it is a cute book I would not recommend it to anyone really because of its watered down version of spiritual things and its inclusion of some things I deem evil. I hate to throw the baby out with the bathe water but in this case unless the author amends the pages on mentioning of Dr. Kinsey I would have to toss them one out for its potential for harm on non-believers. I give it a 1.75 stars out of 5 for its light heartedness and humor. Regarding Mormonism, it is similiar to this book in my opinion in regards to subtling falling away from what is truth and right and it is my opinion that  unless they adhere more to the Word of God and get rid of their own Bible, follow Gods word more closely and did some real housecleaning within the church it is my opinion that because of the high potential of deceiving others it should be tossed out too. I have faith that the true believers within the Mormon church if they joined together could make these drastic changes and bring about their church to a place where it is doing right vs evil. It first starts with noticing, then prayer, and action toward getting more right with God. I say this because I was once deceived and satan crept into my life, my marriage, my family, my church, my community but with Gods help we can realign our lives to be where God wants us to be when we humble ourselves and seek to follow his precepts more closer than ever before.   My review of article in Newsweek dated 12-15-2008 titled," The religious case for gay marriage" by Lisa Miller.  I always find it rather amusing when those who do not believe in the precepts of the Bible or its divinity and its Holiness turn around and attempt to use it to prove their points which is done, not to well, in my opinion.This article said nothing about the fact that science has redefined homosexuality to not be as genetically linked but is leaning toward mulitfactors including a dominent environmental causation. This article says nothing about the twin studies, the rise in aids and sociopathology regarding destructive behaviours among  the youth age groups, who are for many reasons having increasing numbers who are practicing homosexuality, it neglects to comment on the increasing number of web sites declaring freedom from homosexuality and SSA's. All that aside it does nothing new for the furthering of H.M ( Homosexual Marriage) in my opinion.  Starts off on page 28 pretty much bashing the Jewish leaders and founding fathers for their lack of morality within marriage. And gives a less than perfect view of the marrige bed in Old Testement and New Testement and then asks the reader to legitimize what is so great about marriage based on these Biblical people. And then quotes scripture such as, " It is better to marry than to burn with passion", a quotation of the Apostle Paul whom they are quick to point out was single. So in one hand they will put marriage down using the Bible and then use the Bible to justify the necessity for H.M. All of which makes little sense to me. In paragraph 3 of page 28 it paints the supporters and opposers of H.M. as in a battle to define marriage and then says it has esculated to a full blown war, and likens this war to the civil war for emanicpation of the slavery, however it does not back that up with facts such as practicing homosexuals are bound to serve masters without pay, and are beaten when they do not work or have a low production, I have not seen one homosexual not permitted to vote or sit anywhere they choose on a bus and no signs that we are segregating hetero drinking water from homosexual water fountains and you know the whole salvery scene I just dont see it in the homosexual community They do announce that the H.M. opponents are using primarily scripture as the foundation for their  objections. But then go on to say that the Bible gives no good reason to oppose H.M. Again I disagree with these two statements also having seen much of the oppositions commercials, flyers, and emails where scripture was rarely used but I saw alot of case studies regarding what has happened to states, families, school curriculum, homosexual activism in states that have legalized H.M and lastly the Bible does give very many good reasons to not accept H.M.. It goes on to attempt to divide marriage into two pieces that need to be put back together and those peices being a civil and a religious marriage. I dont think that they were ever the same two for the price of one deal at all. I have always seen that their have been civil unions for those people who live together without choosing to be married and  traditional marriage as preserved , as special, as Holy, and not a civil union at all. The opponents of H.M. are not against civil unions, they are not against homosexuality as a lifestyle choice they are against this new wave of anarchists trampleing over what they hold as uniquely Holy, and is not to be taken lightly in their minds and hearts. They do not want the reprocusions that will spill over from allowing Holy Matrimony to be watered down, they want to preserve this for the next generation of families in America and I personally dont see anything wrong with there desires and this article did nothing new to convince me that it would benefit our society, our families, our communities or our churches but rather supported the opponents arguments.  Page 30 after doing its best to tear down any possible legitimacy to the Bible as a relevent source for not supporting H.M. they launch into what they feel the bottom line must be, it is not spoken but you can almost hear them say...homophobia. They go to say the sex between men seems to be the real stickler with the opponents against H.M. Again I dont think most American adults care much what goes on in others peoples bedrooms and it does not hold water to say that is why they are against H.M. because what I get from the opposition to H.M is not that they should stop having sex but that same-sex marriage diminish that which is held sacred, in this case, marriage. They go on to pull down the Apostle Paul for setting a standard for marriage, ie not divorcing once married and acentuate that he was a single man that promoted singlehood, if possible. They also throw up King David with implications that he was bi-sexual having a sex relationship with Jonathon, no one knows this because it was never stated and relationships between men can be close as brothers even in Bible times. I dont know if David did anything with Jonathon that was sexual and I would not attempt to use David as a basis for God accepting homosexuality ,when in fact it is not a proven point, as this article so blatantly does.  It goes on to attempt again to liken slavery to homosexuality and can only assume that they believe every household should have one, my only problem with this is that the Christian community continues to try to allow some kind of option of freedom if chosen to allow them to be set free from the bonds of homosexuality while it appears as long as it suits the homosexual cause they continue to bound them up as slaves to homosexuality, with no hope of freedom. All I can say is Martin L. King would roll over in his grave to see the chains the homosexual community are applying to their own people! They then go on to blame the Afican American population for Prop. 8 passing, I guess they are done blaming the Mormons and Christians, I wonder who they will blame next?  The article gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on quote, " Most of us no longer heed Leviticus on haircuts or blood sacrifices. Why would we still accept its stance on homosexuality? end quote from page 31. What they forget to tell the readers about the immorality of the Biblical times, which I say people are no different today than back then, though article attempts to say that it is no longer relevent due to changing times and attitudes, what they forget is the flood of Noahs time, the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah in Lots time for immorality of God very own people, how much more will He do to those who are not His people, we can only imagine. God is a God of love but they forget that He is a jealous and righteous God that cannot condon sin in anyone, that is why we have Jesus, the sinless lamb of God.   Summary to the article is that it had a lot of smoke but no fire, it had the same old we wont this and your a bully for not giving it to us feel and it did not do what it set out to do in my opinion to make the reader sympathize with them as slaves in America, nor did it paint them as victims when we all know they are the instigators of this battle they are calling a war and we have all witnessed their lack of tolerance for anyone who does not hold to their lifestyle choice.  It was an ok article but the facts to back up their claims for me just did not exist.No one hates those who choose to live a life that is different, people only resist when they are being taken advantage of and disrespected which opposition is currently exeriencing. Just my thoughts on this article.

December 27, 2008 Book review of, " YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES; what every father need to know" by John Eldredge.  Inspirational! I rarely give a five out of five, but this is a Seven! I am going to give it to my son but decided to read it first and being a parent, I cried like a baby. Only 52 reading pages which men will love about it and I think soooo much more.   Its not just for fathers but man its a great book, and men need to know they matter and this book paints that picture perfectly! Men matter alot to their wives and their children and they should hear that, often. Its a good book for wives/mothers too because its insight into how a man thinks and what he needs to have in order to feel like a masculine husband/father/son and that little child in all of us never grows up, no matter who you are! I dont know if I want to part with this book or not. I might have to send more Christmas gifts and this book will be at the top of my list, right next to: " Overcoming the Adversary by Bubeck and The Homosexual Agenda by Sears and Osten and The Marketing of Evil by Kuplian!  I hear this author has another book called, Wild at heart;discovering the secret of a mans soul and I bet its just as good if not better, if that is possible. GL   Decemeber 28, 2008 Review of, " Character under Attack and what  you can do about it" by Carl Sommer.  This book was like a moutain cave with new caverns at every turn. Interesting the whole way through, lots of valuable information and resources.Just when I thought this book had told its story I would find new information and it would take me into a different direction all coming to one big conclusion. That conclusion being, for me, that I cant see a fix for the public school systems no matter what they might do to remedy their bottomless pit of problems.  Now the author gave many possible recommendations to improve the system but I cant ever see the state or federal government willing to give up its power or authority to moralistic Christian ethics. I will point out the pages that held some significance to me and share what I liked about this book that I rate 4 on a scale of 5. I will end with what  I would change to make this book better, in my opinion, whatever thats worth in life with a quarter will get you not much. Pages 24-27 Interesting information. Loved the word of the day..Didactic. Pages 26-27 Are valuable regarding the Nietzsche philosophy. This was very alarming  to me, I had heard of Nietzsche but was unaware of exactly what his philosophy is, in context of it being taught  to children in public schools I was very dismayed; Quote, " This hedonistic, self-created value system proclaiming that all values are arbitrary has brought havoc to our world " and " , Conscience is a Jewish invention. Like circumcision, it  mutilates the body." Scarey enough  to think that morality is frowned upon in school over relativism but when you also consider that this was a philosophy that Hitler gave to Mussolini it makes it downright outrageous.  Page 28 might well sum up this book, "To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society." Teddy Roosevelt. Page 29 Sad Page 30 Heros are harder to find but there out there! Page 31 No way, were are the parents! Page 49 The whole page bears repeating but I will quote only the last line and take into consideration that this statement comes from the A & M University's College of Medicine to youth in schools in America. This line gives me hope that there are some doctors who have some goodness still left in their souls that the medical profession has not completely drained out of them! Quote: " The take-home message; abstain from intercourse or put yourself at grave medical risk." End quote. A hero! Page 60-61 Very interesting. quote from first paragraph on page 60, " John Leo in US NEWS & WORLD REPORT states, 73% when their professors taught about ethical issues, the usual message was that uniform standards of right and wrong dont exist." That is what our kids are learning that America no longer knows right from wrong so it cant teach it to the next generation. Trouble brewing in American Colleges if you ask me! Quote from page 60 par. 2, " Overdosing on nonjudgementalism is a growing problem in the schools" on this I could not agree more! Pages 65-67 More proof that our Founding Fathers did not intend for such a radical throwing out of Christian morals from our school systems based upon the Constitutions first amendment. Page 68 I am quoting the whole last par. on this page because it says what I feel more than anything in the book, quote: " CONCERNED CITIZENS CANNOT STAND IDLY BY AND WATCH THE SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF AMERICAN YOUTH BECOME TOTALLY DEMORALIZED TO THE POINT OF ACCEPTING PERVERTED SEX AND DEGENERATE BEHAVIOUR THAT CURRENT NONJUDGEMENTAL PROGRAMS ARE PROPOGATING. DOES AMERICA HAVE AN ESTABLISHED VALUE SYSTEM? ABSOLUTELY! AMERICANS NEED TO RISE UP AND PROMOTE VIRTUES THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE BELIEFS ARE NATION WAS FOUNDED UPON AND THAT MADE OUR NATION GREAT. THESE VIRTUES HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD." End quote. Excellent! Standing ovation! Page 69 Chapter 6 titled, " Actions to Promote Educational Success" is a little late in the game. Changing philosophies will absolutely help, possibly immediately. The permissive theology has come undone and its own reaping in the lives of student victims screams of its failure. Page 74 If more people held to this concern, if only, if only. Pages 75 & 76 Offer potential solutions to help get the school train back on track. Page 81 Victory! Page 82 PTL! Page 83 A must read. As long as the administrators and leaders feel helpless the kids dont have a chance. Speak out boldly! Page 84 We must let our voices be heard above the secular clamour!  I liked the fact that the book was concise, only 95 pages long and small in actual size and that made it fun to hold and read. I would not change a thing and I am somewhat stingy with my point system or else I would give  you a five. Maybe because I didnt jump up and go  YAHHOOOOO, but I did a little dance...thats worth 4 points. GL   Review of Book, "Why Does God Permit Evil" by Dom Bruno Webb" by GL   My son asked me why evil things happen? How could a loving God allow this? Here is my answer. Then I will tell you that seems to say that the problem goes back to Adam and Eve and " The Original Sin"  as the book states .While I agree completely I however disagree with some small points of this book. One eye opener was that I had always thought that the original sin was Adam/Eves, wrong this book so wonderfully illuminates that the first sin, the original sin, is an angelic sin. Wow.  I rate this book a 4.9 our of 5. I am not Catholic but man do these Catholic have some really good ideas, some I disagree with, but some are so good you cant possibly say they are all bad. I hope that redeems me somewhat, earns me a point or two from Peter.  The book started off really slow for me and even though I knew it was building the foundation of the rest of the book the thing I would change would be to make the first half a little more intriguing and less dry. It is quite lofty at the beginning and intermittently, more in the beginning, and lost my attention at times and I thought at one time I might not be able to finish it. I am so glad I kept reading because it transformed into a butterfly around page 39 for me. So I start my review on page 39. Page 39, 3rd par. Information regarding negation vs privation. Very interesting to me, deep concept when you relate it to pain,suffering and evil. Just as I thought I might understand it would fly away but come back again as I read on. Page 40, 1st par. This is the finishing up of the page before. And the last sentence on this page, Quote," Animal death as such is a limitation, a negation of further life,but not a physical evil, since it is not the deprivation of any perfection that is demanded by animal nature. End quote. Page 42, par 2 Quote, " One cannot escape the dictum of St. Augustine;" All evil is either sin or the penalty of sin". End Quote.When you put it in light of angelic sin then I would agree, but prior to learning about angelic sin I would have said, no, and quoted Job. Having now understood angelic sin then St. Augustine is correct because we know Job, was a good man, but satan was given power over him and satan is angelic sin personified. Further in par., Quote,"But since suffering is not itself sin it must ultimately be the effect of sin. .....that is the effect ultimately of angelic sin. End quote. Bravo! Page 45, 2nd par....mid par..Quote,"for man stands midway between the angelic hierarchy of pure spirits and the material universe. End quote. Further down in par. Quote, "....a body so... End quote, goes on to explain how that hierarchy is changed once we have accepted Christ into our lives, or become a part of the body of Christ. Interesting, it was said a little lofty, above me, but non-the-less profound and I get the meaning. Page 46,par 1. Quote, " St. Gregory realized very quickly the analogy between the embryo and the universe as a whole. End quote. It goes on to further elaborate this idea and does so very well. Page 47, par1 Quote, "....except in the case of miracles God works through created things as His instruments." End quote. Page 48-49 On angelic sin being responsible for disorder in the world was interesting. It was apparently not Gods initial plan that angels would do so but used the disorder caused by such fallen angels to further his plan into a higher calling, a better plan, than the original. He so rocks! Not wanting to give the whole book away, which I'm good at doing. I will mark pages here that had significant meaning to me. Pages50-53 Pages 57-61 Pages 64-69. The last par. on page 69 that starts out...quote, "WITHOUT THE FALL"...I underlined this whole par. Excellent! Pages 70-71 Pages 79-81 Pages 86 & 87, 89 Pages 94-108 & 109 had intermittent underlining, but on page 108 loved the whole last par quote, " Those who labor under...." end quote. Pages 114, 117-120 Page 131 last line and 132-136 Page 141 & 144 and 147-149 and 151-153 Ending with Yes, come Lord Jesus!  Conclusion: Here is one of those things I had never considered before that this book brings up that really does make since...well to me anyway. You know that us Christians say that suffering, pain, death, sorrow etc are all a result of the first sin by Adam/Eve and that our perfection was tainted from that point on when the cell of sin was interjected into the perfect system and therefore we are ALL born sinners, no matter who you are, we are all with the same sinful nature. But how did satan get in the garden since Adam/Eve had not sinned yet so what caused satan sin? This is a new question for me that I had never even thought about until this book really enlightened me. What an amazing revelation.  We believe that the Bible is correct that sata is a fallen angel. So God created angels first, then people afterward at some point and time. It appears angels have been given free will as well as us. Satan is an angel, and not just any angel but he was one of the very top angels in heaven that went bad, so to speak, taking other angels with him he was cast out of heaven and apparently was able to get into the garden. What I'm getting at from this book which is divinely inspired in my opinion ,is sin now exists because of angelic sin as well as the original sin in Adam/Eve, which I had never really considered before reading this book. Apparently there are intrinsic differences, yet both devastingly, and qualities of sin in man and sin in angels and therefore the consequences manifest themselves differently. It is my uneducated opinion that mankind keeps playing out the garden scenario, mans sin through Adam as the victim and Angelic sin through satan as the predator.  You cant say the devil made me do it about any sin angelic or otherwise, because of FREE WILL according to the book, not in those exact words. ( UNLESS ITS ANGELIC SIN VIA HYPNOSIS AND THEY MANIPULATE FREE WILL!)Through that free will choice evil entered this perfect system and that is why we find evil in this world. Good news, we have choice, but even still darkness/sin cannot save itself. Are we forever imperfect, forever fallen out of grace? I don't think so..and neither does this book! I also believe in spiritual laws much like physical laws are provable and testable and actual. The law of gravity is one ...if you throw a ball into the air because of law of gravity it comes back to earth...sin and consequence is a spiritual law ( the book ref's to it as Adams sin and Angelic sin) say that if you choose to sin there are adverse consequences....that is one..and one consequence besides suffering, pain is death , which to me means spiritual death, because there is another death that is physical that is something different I believe associated with angelic sin and not human kinds transference of sin. Spiritual death is even worse in some ways than physical death, physical death being what we know is cessation of life here on earth from Adams human sin, in my opinion is not what is referred to in scripture as the sin that leads to death, that being angelic sin, both spiritual and physical death simultaneously. ( meaning angelic sins death which is the end all) I think anyway.  What I also liked is that its message rings true in stating that it's the crux of Christianity that in order to reinstate that relationship with God, and revive that perfect state of being the book says that you must do two things know God exists and desire salvation through sanctification. Churches differ on how that is achieved but all agree that it starts with that persons implicit faith and implicit desire. Although the book is based more on Catholicism I only disagreed in terminology for what means one thing to a Catholic might have a different word but mean the same thing to a Protestants. For instance, Protestants say," we must be born-again spiritually", again something we cant do on our own but is a gift from God and Catholic appear to put more emphasis on the sacrament of Baptism. I cannot argue the latter anymore than the former, I agree with them both. This will not make me many friends in either group unfortunately. Bummer. How to avoid the consequences of sin. JESUS , JESUS , JESUS. Heres my advice from a mother whose been there and back.
