Touched by a Vampire: Discovering the Hidden Messages in the Twilight Saga
Praise forTouched by a Vampire“Like many who care about young adults, I’ve puzzled over the recent vampire craze. I applaudTouched by a Vampire for shiningits brilliant light into a somewhat dark and mysterious world. Utilizing the existing teen fascination of the Twilight books in order to spark an open discussion about love, life, and faith is both smart and savvy. This thoughtful book is a much neededtool for parents, youth leaders, and teens.”—MELODY CARLSON, author of the Diary of aTeenage Girl series“‘But Mom, you’dlike this vampire book. It teaches that true love waits!’ They knew which pitch to give, and Felker Jones hastheir number. This book is itself a page-turner, diagnosing vampiric love as meager fare. It turns out true love is not so muchabout waiting for Mr. Bite, but being abundantly blessed at God’s banquet.”—AMY LAURA HALL, associate professor ofChristian Ethics, Duke University, and authorofConceiving Parenthood andKierkegaard andthe Treachery of Love
