[TruthTalk] Fw: interesting book

[Judy Taylor]

Another instance of Christendom running to sit at the feet of the well known and successful "worldlings" just as soon as they make the first "christian sounding" baby noise ... Ms Rice is writing a book like an expert "theologian" before she is even wet behind the ears.  FYI Ann Rice has a homosexual son and at this point she does not think there is a conflict between that lifestyle and being a follower of Christ...  so I would send my money to a good cause and spend time reading the much more beneficial Book  :).
