"REACH FOR THE SKY" - Woody, from 'Toy Story'
There seems to be specialized Bible for every occassion, gender, and ethnic group out there. It can get as specific as "The African-American Charismatic Women's Bible." So I have a suggestion for all the ways people tend to appraoch the Bible and grab the good stuff and leave what they don't like. How about "The New Disney Bible?" We have been disneyfying Bible stories for years. Give them all happy endings and teach a few good moral lessons along the way. And please, don't worry about this Bible being accurate in details or calling for sacrifice or asking tough questions. This Bible is to comfort the comfortable and leave out the hard sayings of Jesus or the high cost of discipleship. The Bible is actually a dangerous book. I think I will put it inbetween my Lord of the Rings trilogy that is filled with wonder and powerful images and my Bram Stocker "Dracula" book which can be scary like the Bible.
Okay Disney girls, say "Cheese!"
