Another CS Lewis book 'The Great Divorce' a short but very profound fantasy story;the narrrator travels from a gloomy and desolate city to Heaven,the journey he takes and the characters he meets show the meaning of good v evil but especially the Bible verse 'where your treasure is, there will your heart be also'
An excellent book. |

 I tried reading the Left Behind series, once I got to one part it lost my interest. I also didn't agree to it, for some reason. But, at least other people may enjoy it.

 Back to the basics. I love the stories.Yeah, I wanted Blue Like Jazz - the author is from Portland (about 105 miles from where I sit). He was on the news the other week, and he told about his book and why he wrote it; and I was fascinated! By the sounds of it, there's another Christian out there who thinks like me!

You got it! Only the way I learned the story it was called "Little Brave Sambo". There is an updated version called "Little Babaji" it follows the storyline exactly. My daughter used to have that one. I have a little Sambo book that she borrows sometimes. Sambo has a bad rap...there are NO tigers in Africa...only Asia...this with his melanin pigment makes him Indian.

Actually, the books I had as a child (and my brother as well) was Little Black Sambo, and I found a very tattered and used copy later on when my children were growing up. I tried to acquire it because it is a cute story and I thought the pictures cute and not at all demeaning. The little boy pictures was "black" as some Africans are. Africans come in various shades of dark skin. I am caucasian but not as white as some and not as mellowed-out as others. I couldn't get a good copy of the book when my children were growing up. It was changed to Little brave Sambo. And that is good, but not the author's intent.
So much has occured unnecessarily because of perceived biases.
