Sometimes I use the wrong words for the wrong things, I definitely did not mean it that way. For all the other comments, thanks for commenting, I greatly appreciate it.

That is going to keep me thinking for a long time.

I try not to blanket anything but there are some things I choose not to read or watch based on information about the content or messages. There are almost always some members of a specific category of books, movies, etc that may not fit the blanket stereotype that people come up with so it is much better to assess each based on it's own individual merits and deficiencies.<BR/><BR/>I've only read a few of Jeffrey's reviews on his blog but based on those and some of the other statements I've read from him in regards to reviewing it sounds like that is exactly what he tried to do with his movie reviews.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885416877999731273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-49247348825153158612008-01-22T21:19:00.000-05:002008-01-22T21:19:00.000-05:00I'm glad you were blessed by the beauty in this bo...I'm glad you were blessed by the beauty in this book.

In my view it's the response we should foster to anything, not just books. We should be checking with Scripture, not the current knee-jerk reaction to what is new that so often becomes policy.<BR/><BR/>Writing, drawing, technology, all that comes under the category of Tool, stuff that can be used for good or of evil. <BR/><BR/>BeckyRebecca LuElla Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823550402103559922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33561481.post-1663696538307186802008-01-22T14:21:00.000-05:002008-01-22T14:21:00.000-05:00I like your comment about "providing discernment."...I like your comment about "providing discernment." That a Christian should fail to see this important role in the midst of analyzing culture is truly a loss for the world as a whole. May we be a people who are not afraid to astutely comment and, as Paul did, persuade those into true understanding. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for the plug, bro!<BR/><BR/>CHChristopher Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844586938092007032noreply@blogger.com
