Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Aug 10, Daryoung rated it did not like it Shelves: I read only the first two or three stories and then quit.

Despite the overly-long diatribe introduction that did all it could to persuade the reader that to dislike the book is to prove oneself closed-minded, I found this book to be more propaganda than fiction. The stories lacked plot; the characters lacked complexity. I really am open-minded about depictions of Mormons in literature--that is, if I feel that what I'm reading qualifies as literature.

Is Playing Dungeons and Dragons Allowed for Mormons?

There was definit Disclaimer: There was definitely an agenda, though. Jacinto Bowks rated it did not like it Jul 07, Callie Rose Tyler marked it as to-read Feb 11, They were Old World animals. The accounts preferentially support Mala. Roberts, the dog was apparently the only domesticated animal in Book of Mormon times in Mesoamerica, and he claims it was very valuable for transportation, hunting, guarding, companionship and for food.

One would expect very favorable reference to dogs, therefore, in the Book of Mormon.

Instead we find only two derogatory comments 3 Ne 7: The comments seem inappropriate for a Meso setting. Also, the jaguar, a very large American feline, was of special symbolic and religious significance in ancient Mesoamerica and jaguar statues are found at many ziggurat temple?

I speak of such things as sitting for hours on end watching television or videos, playing video games night in and night out, surfing the Internet or devoting huge blocks of time to sports, games, or other recreational activities.

These activities are not wrong in and of themselves unless, of course, you are watching salacious programs or seeking out pornographic images on the Internet. Games, sports, recreational activities, and even television can be relaxing and rejuvenating, especially in times when you are under stress or heavily scheduled.

You need activities that help you to unwind and rest your minds. It is healthy to go onto the soccer field or the basketball court and participate in a vigorous physical activity. But I speak of letting things get out of balance.

It is not watching television, but watching television hour after hour, night after night. Does not that qualify as idling away your time?

What will you say to the Lord when He asks what you have done with the precious gift of life and time? Surely you will not feel comfortable telling Him that you were able to pass the ,point level in a challenging video game.

One devastating effect of idling away our time is that it deflects us from focusing on the things that matter most. Too many people are willing to sit back and let life just happen to them. It takes time to develop the attributes that will help you to be a well-balanced person. What will we say to the Lord when He asks what we have done with the precious gift of time? This question has recently been foremost on my mind. About two weeks ago, our family was wrapping up our family vacation.

As we drove together through the countryside, our car was hit by an unlicensed and uninsured driver. She hit us hard, straight into the passenger side of the car, where I was sitting and my young teen daughter right behind me. Time seemed to slow down as I watched her car plow into the side of the large sedan we had rented for this outing.

Afterward, as I looked at the wreckage of our cars, I marveled that I was still alive. But I do know that it is not for me to waste this precious gift of time on hours of gaming. I have people to serve, to bless, and to lift.
