Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.

Review: Help! Mom! Hollywood's in My Hamper!

Medium ImageWritten by Katharine DeBrecht, the same woman who did Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!, this book takes a kid-friendly crack at Hollywood’s influence on our children. Hollywood “look-alikes” (ahem) keep popping out of the closet and advising children that their lives are wrong! The Hollywood elites tell the girls what to eat, what to wear, how to act, and the combination of all of these directives makes the girls look silly, act silly, and go hungry all the time. Very amusing and your children will love it.

The book isn’t quite up to par with the Liberal Under My Bed book; I’m not sure if it’s because I read more about Liberals and am more immune to the influence of Hollywood, so if you can only buy one, but the Liberals Under My Bed book. The two books together make a nice set though.

    The Dad side of me liked it. It will give those 10-15 year old “fashionistas” pause. Who decides what goes into the Limited 2 stores anyway?

    I hope that the book will help kill off the belly shirts anyway….

    How old does one’s daughter need to be before she can wear a belly skirt?

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
