For discussion: Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
So. I’ve read the Twilight books.
I liked the writing, the story is interesting, totally unbelievable for reality, so it’s fun to lose yourself in the plot. I was surprised to find myself enjoying the vampire family, probably because they don’t really act like your typical, scary vampires. I was able to anticipate where parts of the story were going, and was completely taken by surprise in other places.Quick reads, these books.
As you know, I was reading Twilight to answer the questions: What does the Twilight series teach young people about sex and purity? Do the books promote godly behavior? I’m going to answer that question, and address other issues that pertain to the Twilight series, in several posts over the coming week. If you have read the series, or are a parent concerned about what our young people may learn from Bella and Edward, I hope you will join in the discussion.
Up next: The problem with Bella

My 12(13inJan) year old daughter and I are both HUGE fans of the series ~ I’ll be interested to read what you have to say about it.
Molytail´s last blog ..It’s beginning to look a lot like…..
I’m reminded that a little bit of leaven, leavens the whole bunch.. all these occult type books/films that christians are embracing (& I’m not saying you are, but many are) are filled with leaven – sin. The Bible strongly denouces this stuff yet christians eat it up.
Satan’s ploys are always to throw in some good (or what seems so) so as to deceive, even perhaps the elect (yikes!).
Speaking as someone from an occult type background pre-saved days, this is just another along with potter, rings, & narnia (all full of leaven), that christians should leave alone.

I tried to read the books because my kids and little sister were interested. Couldn’t get into it, but I’ve never been a big fan of books I couldn’t believe (vampire is too far fetched for my imagination)
I have seen the movies to preview before my kids and I didn’t allow them to watch the movie…the concepts that a young girl could make her happiness so dependent on a boyfriend is certainly not the message I want to send to my tween/teen children. Looking forward to your opinions!
