Misleading Books

How many books are there concerning war and bloodshed, which mislead the youth! As they read, Satan stands at their side to inspire them with the spirit of the warrior of whom they read, and their blood becomes heated in their veins, and they are stirred up to do cruel actions. How numerous are immoral books, which lead to unholy desires, and fire the passions of the heart, and lead away from all that is pure and holy! MYP 277.3

You have had your magical books, in which the very scenes and pictures were inspired by him who was once an exalted angel in the courts of heaven.... MYP 277.4
