If you use fiction/literature to shake someone's ideas and then send them to find answers in Scripture, all well and good. But when you consistently deride the church of Christ and malign the Scriptures as authoritative, where does your fiction send people for answers? It seems to me that Young reflects more the spirit of the age than any strong Christian understanding. Michael Hutton, Ariah Park, NSW Bill,

You helped me with my Annotated Bibliography and now have a more clear personal understanding!
