We were recently at our library and I grabbed up some books with interesting titles and great illustrations. That night, I started reading one to Adam and by page two I realized it was about paganism. Considering we live in a fairly conservative, Christian-oriented community I was shocked. And then I was angry. But I have since learned that even the most innocent of looking books needs good examining. ******************************** SUSY RESPONDS: Not long ago, my 13 year old daughter's friend brought a book along with us on a family camping trip---the unusual cover caught my eye. I took a closer look and discovered it was a very dark teen novel centered on Wicca. I had the chance to have a good talk with the girls, then put the book away. I think it's always worth taking a close look at what our kids are reading/watching, and using our God-given wisdom and discernment to decide whether it's worthy of their time and attention!

I have not read the "Dance of the Dissident Daughter", so I cannot comment on it. But I recently got a copy of her book called "When The Heart Waits", it is an elegantly written book about waiting-in-faith and thanks to your post, I will see for myself if she has indeed rejected the Saviourship of Christ... something very hard to do in my opinion, once you have tasted it. Thanks ************************** SUSY RESPONDS: Kidd is an amazing writer, I agree. As to whether she has rejected Christ, read DDD and let me know what you think--I'd love to hear more from you. If I ever get the chance to sit down with Kidd for a cup of tea, that is the very question I will ask....how you can taste the goodness of Jesus and his friendship, and then turn and worship another. It's a puzzle to me. SUSY It was enlightening to read about your observations about the author – Sue Monk-Kidd. I have not read the “Dance of the Dissident Daughter”, so I cannot comment on it.
