General Description:

Michael O'Brien is the father of six, and the founding editor of the Catholic family magazine, Nazareth Journal. In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, he describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, film, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources and to new developments in Christian culture.

Our society has shifted from a Christian world view, and the pagan message is being packaged to appear "Christian" in many books and films. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. It also deals with the question of the proper place of fantasy for Christians. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list for grades one through eight.

"A Landscape with Dragons

- Dr. Ruth Beechick
one of the best books I have read in a long time ... clear, beautiful articulation of an important message." is

"Fantasy books and movies for children are examined in a thoughtful, generous manner that smacks of neither paranoia nor over-scrupulousness . . . O'Brien's consciousness-raising about the battle for the imagination is quite intriguing."

- Catholic World Report

"This is a most important book. It tells us what we need to know about our time, our culture, our prospects for the future. It also tells us a lot about our Faith ... We had better listen to Mr. O'Brien because he may save us a lot of grief."
