The Da Vinci Post

(With apologies to my regular readers-Charter Communications has been having trouble keeping it's internet service together for the last two days.) Woe is me...Oh had my internet service been down one more day.

I say this because "The Da Vinci Code" opens today in the USA. I have read and heard a tremendous amount of hype over the last week, much from religious sources, regarding this heretical film. It's just too bad that Opie and Forrest Gump had to invest their talent to this rehashing of already condemned Christian Heresy. Nearly every Christian ministry has a book, link or streaming audio or video dealing with this...so I won't be redundant here. You WILL get your fill of this...

With the intention of not giving heresy any more attention than has already been given it by our Early Church Fathers, I would like to take the opportunity to review a book from the book division my alma mater (Bethany House Publishers) for Active Christian Media.

The book is called "The Da Vinci Code Breaker" and, though MSN has the tag line for the movie "the Da Vinci Code is unbreakable", this idea actually falls apart under the slightist scrutiny. Author James L Garlow, with Timothy Paul Jones and April Williams, offers an aphabetized fact checker. In it you will find a wonderfully researched look at the so-called gospels used to support the story of DVC and also the true (and intentionally overlooked by Dan Brown) history of the literature and history of Christianity as it really is, not as some would have you believe. Read this book along with the novel or before you see the film.

At my teenage daughter's request we, as a family, will be using it as a tool to help her speak to her high school friends about the real Christ and not the inventions of Dan Brown and his heretical precursors.

Oh and one more thing...
