Actually, I'm a pre-teen but I'm glad my parents got this book. So many books on music, TV and movies are uptight and not very balanced. My mom and dad and I have made a decision to make better choices as a result of this book. I like the way Mr. DeMoss helps us to think critically about entertainment and the media. I'll never be able to watch a commercial again without THINKING about what they're really selling. Three thumbs up!!!

Unlike books that whine about how bad all music, television and films are, Learn to Discern is a balanced and helpful resource. Tons of real life examples of how to make good choices. We have felt overwhelmed by the role of TV in our house, and we didn't know how to be fair with the kids about their music choices. Thankfully, DeMoss had the exact advice we needed! His humor really helped us tackle a touchy subject in a more relaxed manner with our children. Hats off!

I'm glad I found this book. It's about time someone told it like it is with respect to the audio and video media's influence in our's and our children's lives. The author does not come off as one condemning everything, but logically and factually demonstrates the hold that the media has in our lives. He provides a valid and timely warning to watch and monitor what we allow in our children's hearts. In reading this book, every parent, young or old, will discover some new and startling facts. A must read for those parents concerned about the future of their children. I can't wait to read the newer, expanded edition.

The author treats the media as if it is the devil. as if all tv, computers, etc are bad. This book wil surely destroy some child's life
