A Landscape With Dragons - Tha Battle For Your Child's Mind
"What is the difference between acceptable fantasy and dangerous fantasy? What makes stories such as The Chronicles of Narnia recommended reading, while other magical tales are labeled as evil? In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture. Our society has shifted from a Christian world view, and the pagan message is being packaged to appear ""Christian"" in many books and films. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list of over 1,000 books for kindergarten through highschool. Michael O'Brien is a professional artist, and author of the best-selling novels Father Elijah, Strangers and Sojourners, Eclipse of the Sun, Plague Journal, and A Cry of Stone.
