That's the only thing I can figure in regards to the lack of resolution.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147222275433536467.post-61383241505111647912009-05-22T15:23:44.774-07:002009-05-22T15:23:44.774-07:00I agree with you totally which is why I have not p...I agree with you totally which is why I have not posted my review yet. I have not figured a way to say what I need to say in a way that makes sense and is not insulting. I was highly offended by the comment about conservative Christians which I happen to be. So I am waiting till I am calmer to post. :)Brittaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756341697752152164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147222275433536467.post-54424802932186859372009-05-22T11:45:06.118-07:002009-05-22T11:45:06.118-07:00I like your review.

We have a tendency to just skip over the negative reviewing part when we happen across a book we don't agree on...what you did took courage and backbone.<br /><br />I also think your points are very valid. Teens do need boundaries...I know cause I'm just barely out of my teens and if parents build a strong, solid foundation for their children to walk upon (modeled by a godly example), it will mold and shape their character, help them determine what choices to make and they will always have that solid foundation (Christ) to fall back on. This is what is lacking in so many families in America today. <br /><br />Otherwise, they end up being like the idle, unvirtuous teens in modern Hollywood films.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147222275433536467.post-42748728966123901572009-05-22T07:21:43.613-07:002009-05-22T07:21:43.613-07:00Bravo to you for posting your honest opinion of th...Bravo to you for posting your honest opinion of this book. After all, that is what a reviewe does...they give their opinion. You raised some very legitimate issues, and yet were kind enought to point out the books strong points and be willing to see if these issues are resolved in a future book. The church needs more reviewers like yourself, grounded in Biblical truth, yet honest and kind at the same time, even if the honesty part hurts just a little.<br /><br />DavePastor Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329750042474085895noreply@blogger.com
