June 1, 1989
Our journal entry is to reflect on a book we have read or a show we have watched and use the three questions to criticize (critique) the work. I do not watch television or go to movies so I cannot analyze any shows. I will say that the lack of Christian morals and influence is a major reason I do not use this form of entertainment.
The only books I have read in the last couple of years are inspirational type books written by Christian authors, such as: Ann Kiemel Anderson, Dr. James Dobson, Gordon MacDonald, Joyce Landorff, Chuck Swindoll, Dr. Charles Stanley. I have read many self-help books dealing with psychology and emotions, as this has been one way God has healed me from my depression. The books have all conformed to the Christian ethics I hold, are exclusively Christian, and represent a clear view of Christianity.
I have nothing against fiction books, but I am at a time in my life where I am intensely searching God's will for me, and stability in my emotions. I am therefore reading God's Word and other helpful books to fill my mind and meditate upon things of God. I want to grow wise and mature and that happens as a result of viewing things as God views them. That's why I am saturating myself with Him. I do believe Lee College is one place He wants me as I must also grow intellectually. To do so in a Christian atmosphere is a real blessing. I believe there is something for me to learn in every classroom, as I feel directed by the Holy Spirit even as I choose my classes.
