[Faith-talk] a PS about the Harry Potter phenomenon

[Debby Phillips]

I don't believe in banning books, but I do believe in presenting 
books to children in the right timing.  Some books are just not 
books that small children should read until they have grown a 
little older.  Banning books is stupid.  By whose criteria are we 
going to ban books? Some would have us ban Huckleberry Finn and 
the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, or to Kill A Mockingbird.  I'm glad 
that I had the opportunity to read those books.  Reading books 
makes us more well-rounded.  I'm even glad that I read books that 
really depressed me, because I could figure out why they 
depressed me, and determine what I believed about the world, and 
God, and society and everything.    Blessings,    Debby and Neena
