So there is a buzz going around right now about a new movie coming out based on the best-selling book "The Da Vinci Code". The movie stars Tom Hanks, so you can bet that it will be a good movie with a large turnout. We've decided to do a series titled "Da Vinci Defunked" starting on May 14th to discuss some very disturbing and flat-out wrong beliefs portrayed in the book.
To prepare for this, I decided to read the book. So far I'm only half way through it, and I have to say that Dan Brown is an incredible writer. He brings all the elements of a good book: suspense, twists, strong characters, and mystery. Unfortunately, the bad theology has just entered into the story and my stomach is turning! The accusations made throw mud in the face of everything we believe as Christians.
And that is why we are doing this series...to educate people that, though it's a good story, it is still a fictional book. This book could cause a lot of new Christians to doubt their faith. Because of that, I encourage you to be at TrueNorth for that series. We have some cool stuff planned for this series!

i am almost done with the book. i would agree that it is a great story. i'm glad we are doing this series though because there are lies that need to be exposed!
oh i totally agree.. as i was reading i was making notes.. this book defiantly "opens up a can of worms" as they put it! i love debates and this will be a great one!
