I’ve just read the first one and am off to devour the second. Despite the fact that he’s 12, Artemis Fowl is funny, smart, and encompasses all the human failings an adult story should. I especially enjoyed Butler, with his obsessive need to protect his charge and his wickedly effective and funny ways of doing it. Juliet, his sister, annoyed me but added to the overall effect of the Fowl household.

Holly Short, the fairy LEP officer kidnapped by Artemis, was far from the all-knowing fairy folk we’re used to, and in fact this story makes consistent fun of many of the old tales. Makes fun of and expands on their stories, actually, producing a new world to enjoy.

The supporting cast is generally well-rounded, if a bit stereotyped and I hope Mr. Colfer will expand on each of them. All in all, very enjoyable and I look forward to the rest of the series.

Jeremiah 14:14
Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries [a] and the delusions of their own minds.”

Jeremiah 23:16-17
16 This is what the LORD Almighty says:
“Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds,
not from the mouth of the LORD.
17 They keep saying to those who despise me,
‘The LORD says: You will have peace.’
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’

Lamentations 2:14

14 The visions of your prophets
were false and worthless;
they did not expose your sin
to ward off your captivity.
The oracles they gave you
were false and misleading.

In God’s pure goodness and love he does not want anyone to be left bound to their sin. This is why He paid the ultimate price to free us from sin. All we have to do is accept Christ, not just ignore our sin and pretend it doesn’t exisit. To say there is no sin and therefor no consequences is like saying “There is no such thing as fat in food, so eat up my friends! Enjoy! Rejoice!” Sure it sounds nice and is what we all want to hear, but is void of truth and will lead to complications and an early death. What we need is for our minds and bodies to no longer crave the all the fat, this takes an intrinsic change and a willingness to do so. What is traditionally know as sin is not really the problem, that is all forgiven. What is keeping people separted from God is the pride to not be willing to admit we NEED that forgiveness – that we can’t just have it any way we want, or wish our way out of turmoil and into peace – that we are NOT God, or even gods. We are not, and we cannot.

God is patient, he is waiting, calling, desiring your heart. I
