Clark, Charles S. "News Media Paying More Attention to Religion." CQ researcher. 25 November 1994: vol.4,44. CQ reasearcher Online. CQ Press. 18 Febuaray 2009 http://library.cqpress.com.proxy.bsu.edu/cqresearcher

This article talks a lot about the negative side of Christianity. The media only tells things like priests who sexually abuse someone or evangelists who missuse donated money. Most of the media news rooms in the 1940's were anti-religion, but now it seems that the newsrooms today are doing what they can to show religion in a negative fashion.

I think this piece will help me show that there are many stereotypes in Christianity, which is one thing I am going to try to get rid of. I also believe that the media is only portraying a very small percentage of Christians when they talk about abusers and misusers. I am not saying that all Christians are perfect because we too are human beings and human beings make mistakes.



Young, William P. The Shack. California: Windblown Media, 2007.

William Young's, Finding God In The Shack, has become very popular among Christians today. In chapter 12 it says "A realization hits Mack, the Great Sadness is gone. He walks up to Jesus and they talk over his past, his present, and what his future might look like. The conversation continues on into the rash judgments that Mack has made concerning a number of issues that we all struggle with - Jesus lovingly corrects and explains His Truth to Mack" and I think these few sentences sums up what the book is about.

This book is an example of how I might talk about Christianity with my interviewees and in my ethnography. Whether they have been inspired, challenged, or even threatened by Young's novel, Finding God In The Shack is an important tool for readers who want to better understand the scriptures truths revealed in the book's message. And hopefully individuals will apply those truths to their own lives. Each chapter of the book concludes with a set of discussion questions, making Finding God In The Shack a great book for small group discussion.
