We’re both avid readers, and we’ve raised a whole nest of readers – our house is full of books — and not just the parents’! We’ve talked about some our personal favorites, but this episode we’re looking at whole genres of fiction. How should we, as Christians, approach fictional literature? Are there any kinds to beware of? What do we think about science fiction, fantasy, suspense, romance, mystery, or other sorts? And how do we sort the range of material in each group? If you’re a reader, or you have kids who are, check this out!
King David and the prophet Nathan (2 Samuel 12:1-15)
Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:27-28)
The parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
To do evil is like sport to a fool,
“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind,
“For the LORD does not see as man sees;for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
