please read all of this before commenting to it. Thanks!
I love the Harry Potter books and movies, but KNOW that they are not wise. Why? I decided to do a little study on Satanism and read parts of the 4 volumn set on History of Satanism. Sirius is a prominate name in that book, although I forget why (in the history book). Also, JK Rowling admited to researching every word to make sure that the correct French word was chosen when translating the books into French. This tells me that she is very bright and KNOWS what is behind witches, each name of every witch name she used, same for warlocks, potions, the works. I also believe that the people who call themselves Christian-Wiccans count her as part of their group even if she doesn't. Plus, I happen to be friends with a former Satanist. Even she admits that the HP books has Satanism all over them. She used to date or be married to a warlock. But, I find that Rowling is VERY good at writing a book that grips and keeps you coming back for more. I still watch the movies and read the books even though I know better. This only proves the power she holds. (ps. Rowling admitted in a live interview about the research, so I heard it from her own lips. Had it been in print, I wouldn't have believed it as printing errors are many for many different reasons.) Lastly on HP, I DO still read them and try to learn from JK Rowling what works and what doesn't. She is STILL an AWESOMELY Gifted writer!
What other books do I read???
My books (found currently at
www.tpgames.com/kyt/kyt.html under childrens stories) - I will in the next few months, have a separate domain name for my stories. (family orientated, no sci-fi yet, and witnesses higher moral behavior and why the higher moral behavior is better, and witnesses the One True God - Jesus. Athiestic characters become saved thru life experiences. This include the main characters, which currently still have not become saved, but will. A several minor characters have became saved in chapter 8 or 9).
I love reading The Tomorrow People books that are now out of print. (Sci-fi for children with Jaunting)
Dorothy Sayer's "Peter Wimsey Mysteries" - Christian Author
Dr. Who stories and tv shows
Beverly Cleary stories - especially Ramona and Beezus
Amy on my Mind (Nancy Garden) - do not agree with the lifestyle, but she wrote the book very well!
Stories about children who runaway from home,
stories about boarding schools.
The Secret Garden, The Princess (or the little princess?) (the hallmark movie classic /book, not the white covered one), The Wolves of Witherby Heights?title correct?; British kids books - The B...??? (not borrowers, but another last name), the book about 2 mice, the one about potato sacks being used as a project (one takes care of sack as if sack is ones child), others whose names escape me - as has the books I tried to descibe. Each book mentioned in this last paragraph I am trying to find and buy a permanent copy of.
