My friend Rev. Brian Hough is Youth Pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Overland Park, KS. His wife Laura recently posted an excellent review of the Twilight series. I remember many of the youth talking about it when we first arrived at Twin Oaks back in November (only seven months ago!). Laura makes some excellent points for young ladies who might be captivated by its theme. She writes:
Like I said, the love story was intense, and I would venture to say too intense for high school students. Even though there’s no premarital sex (I think the series prides itself in that), it was still very, for lack of a better word, “passionate.” I wouldn’t want my daughter reading about the physical longings that are deemed ok. I know this is fiction, I know it’s entertainment, but it still made me sad that girls are wanting this and thinking if they can just find their “Edward” everything else will be peachy and every longing they have will be filled in him. Problem is, they are looking for an “Edward” when they should be looking for all those things in Christ.
