Book Review: It Is Not About Me

Written By Michelle Sutton 
Reviewed By Donald James Parker 

Sex is something very special that God created for bonding a husband and a wife as well as for producing offspring.  Not many teenagers are going to learn about the intimacy/bonding aspect of Mother Nature in entertainment media today. Michelle Sutton fills that gap with It's Not About Me. Her heroine, Annie, has a boyfriend who is the son of a pastor. However, the PK (preacher's kid) almost fits the stereotypical bad boy image which a few wild-oat sowers over the years have cemented in place due to their rebellion regarding the strict lifestyle of a Christ follower, especially the family of a pastor who is to set the example for the flock. In this situation Tony is stuck in the middle between the gospel of "Do unto others" and the gospel of "Do whatever feels good."  The major struggle in the book is the tug of war of two brothers for Annie's heart, but a more critical story within the main plot, in my eyes, is Tony's struggle to accept the lifestyle promoted by his parents and the Lord of their lives.

Movie Review: Come What May

By Donald James Parker 

Yesterday morning I got an email containing a link to a movie. My mornings before work are consumed doing email, etc.  I don’t have time to watch movies, but for some reason I opened the link and saw the movie was divided into segments. After deciding I had time to check out the first segment, I got hooked immediately and couldn't stop. I didn’t quite get to the end of segment five by the time I had to leave for work.  I ended up taking my lunch a little early just so I could get back to it since my mind was on it all morning. It made that much of an impression on me.
