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
:).

quite good and she cites

I'm not sure how discerning they are, but I guess it's
something.
