I recently paid for a book of fiction for my sixteen year old daughter, which she ordered from our local bookstore. I believed this book was to be a book about teenage love, or love gone wrong or something like that. The title of the book is, love does not make me gentle or kind. But when I saw the cover of the book I immediately felt disturbed. They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Well, I think they are wrong. But the image was not disturbing enough for me to take the book from her immediately. My daughter has been voicing her independence lately, and I’m trying not to be an overbearing mother. A few weeks passed. I forgot about it. Then I
overheard her talking to one of her friends about it. And what I heard disturbed me. I asked her that night if I could read the book myself. She told me she had left it at school. I pressed her further and in a few days she gave me it.

What I read was unbelievable! There are stories about teenaged girls
having sex with other teenaged girls, and stories about Christians, making us look silly or insane. That is not the worst though. There is actually one story where a teen aged girl falls in love with and has sex with a buffalo!!!! this book is being toted as literature! The author is even a woman!!!! My daughter won’t respond to me when I’ve asked her what she likes about the book or how she feels about it. Does this mean my daughter might want to do these things in this book??

How should I respond? I don’t know how to keep this stuff out of my
home. I’ve tried everything I can. This book has Satanism written all
over it. I think parents should be warned of such material. I’, wondering if there is some way to force the publisher to put warnings on such things??/ The book is , love does not make me gentle or kind, by Chavisa Woods.

If you have any advise, I would appreciate it. I’m worried my daughter is slipping away.

To which I reply (yes, on your site , Peggy, regarding how harmful this author is, let me give one example based on sex with animals. I debated Larry Flint on ABC, and in his biography he too writes of having sex with an animal, without any warning or disapproval (I mean, even PETA should be outraged). Homosexuals and child-sex adovcates are so determined to throw off all moral restraint, that even though syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV have killed millions, and there is evidence that these infections have jumped from animals to humans (ex. And the Band Played On), they care nothing for the millions that will be destroyed by their hatred for God’s plan of sex only between a man and woman within marriage. -Bob Enyart, KGOV.com
