Mommy, Why Don't We Celebrate Halloween?
There
was a need in the Christian community that was being
ignored. It is Halloween and the Christians who do not celebrate it.
Some Christian radio programs, churches and publishers feel that Halloween is a controversial topic. Many have done programs on alternative ways to celebrate it.
I tell all who challenge me concerning the book, "Mommy, Why Don't We Celebrate Halloween?", that it is written to explain to others why my family does not celebrate Halloween, "NOT" why others should not. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convict people. My job is to plant seeds.
This is a resource book. As adults we can choose to ignore Halloween, but what about our kids? They are the ones out there struggling with this situation! These children need to know there is a resource to give to those who poke fun and question them every October.
The first year Destiny Image Publishers published the book, they received a call from Anthony LaVay, son of Anton LaVay, who wrote the Satanic Bible. As a new Christian he called to say, "Thank You for producing this book and please thank Mrs. Winwood for writing it. It's about time someone wrote a book for children. If parents knew what happens on that night, they would never let their children out of the house. This book will really make an impact!"
"Mommy, Why Don't We Celebrate Halloween?" is available in Italian, Slovak and in 2009 it was translated into Spanish for distribution by Fire Peru for missions in Lama, Peru.
The book is available as a single book at Christian book stores, Amazon.com and other book sellers.
