When we moved to Melbourne with one baby in tow, we experienced significant changes to just about everything in our lives. We learnt to pray (Uncle John - Canberra), we switched work roles (Barb nursing and Peter house-husband), we left almost all family and friends (except for Aunty Gloria - Warburton) and we moved into a unit surrounded by elderly Jewish women. AND we were given a book to read about what was dangerous for our little five month baby girl. We read the book carefully and acted to address the warning. We already knew about the way how most of society has been indoctrinated to believe things a certain way to suit powerful business interests. Reading this book showed us that no position of faith, especially one with a huge official tick from the establishment, could have a foundation based on honesty and transparency. So we even had to change the way we thought in areas we thought were sacrosanct.
Imagine how packed Christian Churches would be today of the SAME amount of official backing was given to it. Imagine a Good News Bible story coming through each of the TV stations and internet channels daily with highly positive commentary both theologically and philosophically with all topics based on a rock-solid assumption that not only did Christ walk the earth but truly died as a sacrificial penalty for the lives of everybody who has lived in this created physical realm. As for why it had to be this way does sound extreme, but there would be fewer family breakdowns and hurting children as a result if the story of Christ's life of love and forgiveness under God's loving care and compassion was allowed to permeate our modern society.
Anyway, enough said. Below is the book we read that changed the way we protected our three children.
