There are other beliefs out there and they're out to get our kids faster than you can say GO! We need to take books that have an "alternate" world view and use them to teach our kids.

The books I’ve read over the last few months have had a lot of different approaches to this issue. I feel that some writers handle it better than others. <br /><br />Andi, I’m interested in your comment about children to reading edgy books.

I agree with Tracy and Deborah on this one. <br /><br />God's word is clear that we're not to take His name in vain and that we're not to commit adultery, so why would it be ok to include cursing and graphic immorality in our books. <br /><br Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475395753533265087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003456205448283613.post-16801266052389614322009-11-06T20:06:48.054-06:002009-11-06T20:06:48.054-06:00Edgy, or over the edge?

A Biblical worldview doesn't see the world through rose colored glasses, but with the heart of Christ.
