Summary: Absolutely Ridiculous!
Comment: This book is so ridiculous it's not funny. A religious look on certain CD's and really pathetic reviews of them. It seems the writers will condemn a CD if one single lyric in the whole darn thing says something about a beer or a bar. You get the picture. This book is more damaging than it is helpful. Great work by great artists are slammed and dismissed because they speak the truth and talk about the real world. Real world with real, normal, everyday things. The authors obviously expect everything to be safe and to be perfect in the cookie cutter, Leave It To Beaver, delusional fantasy world they seem to be living in. I'm not knocking anything about religion here, but these guys are way off the mark here!. The reasons they give that slams a CD are sophmoric and juvenile. It's also a slap in the face insult to any teenager out there. They write like they are total dimbulbs who can't think on their own. Like they need to be saved from some evil they think is in some of these CD's. These kids are smarter than the authors give them credit for. They don't need anybody to hold their hand to cross the street. As a young person myself, I was really offended by it. I don't know who wouldn't. It also appeared that these guys used this book to promote other christian artists. At the end of a bad review, they recommend some artist. This book is ridiculous in every sense of the word. I understand parents wanting to monitor some stuff, and some stuff out there should be monitored by parents, but the stuff in this book is too far gone. It's almost a joke of epic proportions. I would skip this book at all costs. It's too preachy that doesn't give music, or talent, a fair chance. A big stinker that makes decisions for you instead of making your own.

Summary: author's viewpoint is suspect
Comment: I would beware of the messenger. This is an author who says the Bible endorses the 2nd Amendment! The author's religious views are too much intertwined into the writings. Blaming tragedies like Columbine on the media without assigning blame where it really lies, guns, is to render your own point moot. And what do they mean by "godly" music anyways? Anything that doesn't mention any sort of non-American Christian religions? If it means listening to Michael Bolton and Amy Grant all day, then no thanks. And thank God for the real Christians out there who would laugh off anything these people have to say about music.

Summary: I wish I had this book before I got certain games & music.
Comment: If I had read this book before buying some of the stuff my kids have I would of been able to get exactly what I wanted them to see before their young minds got warped with so much violence. Since Littleton, CO, I really want to be aware of what is going on in music,entertainment, tv, videos, games, computers, etc. This book helps me know what the product is all about before I buy for them, and helps me make a good judgment before I lay out the big bucks.
