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 :).
