Yesterday was interesting. Me and Shannon went to this big Wal-Mart because I got a gift card for christmas. I wanted to get some cd's but they didn't have any of the cd's I wanted. I looked for Nine Inch Nails, AFI, Living Things (I knew they wouldn't have this one), KMFDM, and a lot of other ones. And me, Shannon, and Lynnsey went and saw Cheaper by the Dozen or something like that. It was an ok movie, I laughed some.
My father gave me two books for christmas. I'm not sure why he gave me the ones he did. He knows I'm not all "The power of God can save anyone from anything." and all that shit. But, he gave me these books. Let me just type the author's note for you.
*******
As I developed this series, I had two equal and opposing concerns. First, I didn't want the reader to be too frightened of the devil. Compared to Jesus Christ, Satan is a whimp. The two aren't even in the same leaue. Although the supernatural evilin these books is based on a certain amount of fact, it's important to understand the awesome protection Jesus Christ offers to those who have committed their lives to him.
This brings me to my second and somewhat opposing concert: Although the powers of darkness are nothing compared to the power of Jesus Christ and the authority is not something we casually stoll int. The situations in these novels are extreme to create suspense and drama. But if you should find yourself involved in something even vaguely similar, don't confront it alone. Find an older, more mature Christian (such as a parent, pastor, or youth leader) to talk to. Let him or her check the situation out to see what's happening. Ask him or her to help you deal with it.
Yes, we have the victory through Christ. But we should never send in inexperienced soldiers to fight the battle.
Oh, and one final note. When this series was conceived, there were really no bad guys on the Internet. Unfortunately that has changed. Today there are plenty of people out there trying to draw young folks into dangerous situations through it. Although the characters in this series trust Z, if you should run into a similar situation, be smart. Anyone can sound kind and understanding, but their intentions may be entirely different. All that to say, don't take candy from strangers you see... or trust those you don't.
*******
Ok, you can not tell me that isn't gay. I even read one of these books just to see what they were about. They are poorly written and pointless examples have been used in them. I mean, the main problem in this book is that this girl has to get some evil spirits to leave the lead singer of a band that worships the devil. I mean, we all know that these type of people have preternatural powers like this guy did, and it was nice of the auther to warn us to get a grown-up's help when we meet one. And, the book didn't even have any big words in it!
The name of this series of books is Forbidden Doors. They are stupid and pointless. And they can hardly be called novels. Maybe for a five year old. I read one book in about an hour.
