Touched by a Vampire: Discovering the Hidden Messages in the Twilight Saga
by Beth Felker Jones

People around the world are enraptured with Edward and Bella's forbidden romance in the Twilight Saga, a four-book serial phenomenon written by Stephenie Meyer. The bestsellers tell the story of a regular girl's relationship with a vampire who has chosen to follow his "good" side. But the Saga isn't just another fantasy -- it's teaching girls about love, sex, and purpose. With 48 million copies in print and a succession of upcoming blockbuster films, now is the time to ask the important question: Can vampires teach us about God's plan for love?

Touched by a Vampire investigates the themes of the Twilight Saga from a Biblical perspective. Some Christian readers have praised moral principles illustrated in the story, such as premarital sexual abstinence, which align with Meyer's Mormon beliefs. But ultimately, Beth Felker Jones examines whether the story's redemptive qualities outshine its darkness.

Cautionary, thoughtful, and challenging, Touched by a Vampire is written for Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and youth workers. It includes an overview of the series for those unfamiliar with the storyline and a discussion guide for small groups. (back cover)

My middle daughter talked me into going with her to the first Twilight movie - she had already seen it once - and then I talked her into going to it again with me. We then bought the video and loaned it to my sister who has since watched it too many times to count. She is also on the fourth book of the series and admitted to me that she probably hasn't read a complete book in 20 years! So - we are planning a girls night out to see New Moon (hopefully on opening night) - with me, my sister, my two daughters and any other women we can round up!
