A Spiritually Uplifting Story: Learning to Trust in Something More
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is one of the most successful in modern
times. With over 121.5 million copies in print, it is almost impossible to find
someone who has not read the books. If you do, they probably have some argument
about how they are above the books; they were written for young adults
anyways. But what do you do when you are not allowed to read the books for
religious or moral reasons? Is there really something bad contained within the
books that would make them forbidden on some families reading lists? The recent
book by author Donald James Parker brings up this intriguing question: Reforming
the Potters Clay.
Introducing us to the Morales family, Parker carries us through the process of
spiritual and moral discovery as EJ and Pedro read the tale of Harry Potter and
the Sorcerers Stone. As they do, they begin to question the simple logic of good
and evil that has been presented to them.
