Angel,

What are you going to do with all the Catholics who read this little book, 
filled with Biblical and Scriptural confirmations, and believe the stories 
are true and Biblical?  Are you going to still keep belittling the family 
for making money or being paid for their labors.  Read the book, not a 
review.  Read the book and then come back and tell us all the Biblical 
references used by the pastor are incorrect and taken out of context.  A lot 
of Catholics have already read this book and believe it is real.  You 
haven't read it and still say it isn't real nor are we real for believing 
it's true.  I still think you are just plane afraid to read it for fear of 
what you will find.

Phil.
