Have you read even one of your daughter's books?...Have you read the synopsis, (as I just did) ON WIKIPEDIA?
I became curious and simply Googled this book series, author.....truly truly disgusting junk!
This book series, this author and the characters in this book is SICKO!
At least be informed WHAT your daughter "who helps lead praise and worship at church' is filling her heart & head with.
I don't know how old she is, but as long as she's still a teen and under your roof and authority, you still have influence.
Please don't cede it to the dark forces.
How edifying is..... vampires making 'love' and leaving heavy bruising and impregnating the heroine and she gets a thirst for blood and her baby pops out after only one month and her vampire husband gives her morphine so she won't feel the pain when he makes her a full vampire.
Just sheeesh!
Your impressionable daughter is filling her mind with this dark stuff....and with your approval.
Honestly, you have not the slightest idea what you are talking about.
Wikipedia? Are you kidding me? That’s your research?
We have raised our daughter in the way she should go. She has been instilled with strong moral values and Scripture from the day of her birth. I can think of no one her age who has had a life more bathed in prayer.
What’s more, she’s really a prude. The girls at her school have mocked her as “Saintly Sarah,” because she refuses to go to the parties they go to or let boys go as far as they do. And this is at a conservative Christian school.
She has also gotten heat from other kids because of how strict her mother and I are, and have always been. We have always known where she is and who she is with 24/7 and she has rarely been out of our sight.
At a time when most teens are rebelling and getting into trouble, she is closer than ever to her mother and me. She has a habit of telling her mother EVERYTHING.
Yeah, she’s had her teen moments. A lot of them. But, at age 17 she has yet to bring shame on our family.
I guess it’s because she understands that it is fiction.
Her favorite book remains The Bible.
The sex in these books (or lack thereof) is tamer than anything you’d find in the Bible. And she is not given morphine so she won’t feel the pain of changing into a vampire - she was given morphine for her delivery. Telling someone to inform themselves when you yourself are not is the epitome of hypocrisy.
I try to read the stuff my daughter reads. She’s a pretty quick reader, so it’s not easy to read it all.
I’m two books behind on this series, and I only read excerpts from the “ender’s game” books.
I’ve read all four books, both my daughters have as well (13 and 16). In fact, I read each one before I let my daughters read them. I haven’t read the synopsis, but the overall theme of the “family” of vampires in the book was trying to live their lives so if they actually had a soul, they would be worthy of not suffering eternal damnation. None of them chose their life (to become vampires). They did choose to live it without killing human beings, which meant they had to fight their “nature” every minute of every day.
Sure its all kinda out there. Its about vampires and shapeshifters, its gotta be out there. And yes, Bella, the teenage girl sees herself as much less than she sees Edward, the vampire she’s in love with. But, he sees her as much more than him. Isn’t that the way a relationship in real life should be? Sorta?
Anyway, we (my daughters and I) all read the books. We enjoyed the books. We talked about the books. And we’re all well aware they are fiction. And neither of my daughters liked Bella at all. They thought she was a wimp!
