I think that was even an Oprah Book Club book recently... atleast I think I heard that somewhere... and on the subject of Oprah, I've seen that video before too... so sad!! John and I got made b/c the guy in it misquotes scripture somewhere in there... I think he says something along the lines of "Jesus says you are the light"--- Um... no Jesus says HE is the light!! I just hate the pull celebrities like Oprah and crazy Tom Cruise have on people who are seeking "something more."- I saw a book in the BX the other day about the contradictions of the bible and such and I hid it behind a bunch of other books no one would be interested in!! He, he!! :)John and Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993138690034587729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901224762310948058.post-4800079993899311162008-04-09T22:12:00.000-04:002008-04-09T22:12:00.000-04:00AMEN girlfriend.

Ugh. I finished it, but I was troubled the whole way through.

I, too, like to read books first-hand to form my own opinion, but I also trust honest and real people who like to do the same - so I appreciate the warning.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how many reactions I've read over Oprah's video. I just have to say that I'm not surprised. Anyone who is so deeply entrenched in Hollywood and entertainment seems to lose all sense of Truth. It's sad and disappointing and you mourn for someone to be THAT lost - how empty and frightening life must be if your salvation lies with you.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I have more thoughts, but I'll spare your comment section my wordy tangents... :)Jenni S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16053221456990941893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901224762310948058.post-25516285339388607212008-04-08T11:41:00.000-04:002008-04-08T11:41:00.000-04:00Thank you for your openness and honesty about the ...Thank you for your openness and honesty about the book and for sharing the video.

Even though it might have been a fun read, it was still trying to sell something that you didn't believe. Much is the same on network TV. Just because it makes us laugh, doesn't make it right.<BR/><BR/>Your soapbox must be contagious.

It seems that that view is coming at us from so many directions now and if we don't agree we are called intolerant.

CRAZY! (but I won't get started!!)<BR/><BR/>And the Oprah video, wow. I've seen it before and sent it to a few friends and family - what a grasp she has on so many - UGH - brings me close to tears.<BR/><BR/>I won't get on a soapbox in your comments but I want to say thanks for posting both these things and sharing your thoughts!!<BR/><BR/>And, I am praying!Momma Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585669348993487403noreply@blogger.com
