"Looking for God in Harry Potter" book
Hi,
Has anyone heard of the new book "Looking for God in Harry Potter" by John Granger? (no relation to Hermione. ) I just bought it, but I haven't read it yet. As a Christian and a huge Harry Potter fan, I was really excited to see a book that doesn't call Harry Potter "evil" for once. The author is a devout Christian who actually read the books because his children were interested in reading them, and he didn't want them to. He ended up turning his whole view around on the books. I flipped through it and read a few passages, it's quite interesting. He did alot of research, and personally, I'm really interested in reading a positive Christian theologian's point of view on Harry Potter. Whether, you're Christian or not, I highly recommend this book. Have a great day. __________________

Acutally that sounds like a interesting book... I haven't read it, but I'll be sure to buy it soon! Hopefully this book dispells the assumption that Christians are HP haters that some HP fans have.

They sell it online at bn.com (Barnes and Noble) and on Amazon.com. I got mine at bn.com on sale for 13.59, reg price is 16.99 (hardback only), and it's also sold at Family Christian stores.
I read some of this chapter on the names in Harry Potter. It's really cool, how the names mean something and how they are related to other things. Everyone should check it out. __________________
