The world's largest on-line bookseller now offers a book which promotes the repulsive act of men having sex with young boys. "UNDERSTANDING LOVED BOYS AND BOYLOVERS" attempts to portray men who prey on young boys as "sincere, concerned, loving human beings who simply have a sexual orientation that is neither understood nor accepted by most others." "They can call themselves anything they want, but the truth of the matter is that they are child molesters, pure and simple," said AFA Vice-President Tim Wildmon. "Anyone who uses children to gratify himself or herself sexually is socially and spiritually perverted. For Amazon.com to sell a book justifying such actions is repulsive and irresponsible." Jeffrey Bezos, chairman and founder of Amazon.com, is not a stranger to controversial books being sold by his company. Last year, protests from concerned consumers prompted Amazon.com to pull another pedophilia book, Varieties of Man-Boy Love. According to Wildmon, Amazon.com posted three pro-child sex reviews of that book, reviews that say laws protecting children from sexual predators are outdated and that "boylove" deserves a place in society. ACTION NEEDED: Please contact Mr. Bezos at Amazon.com and politely ask if he has children or grandchildren? Ask Mr. Bezos if he would be comfortable with these "Boylovers" reading this Amazon.com book in the presence of his child or grandchild? Ask Mr. Bezos to stop this attack on our children.

Prayer Focus: Pray that Mr. Bezos and Amazon.com will put principle over profit and stop poisoning our culture with books such as "UNDERSTANDING LOVED BOYS AND BOYLOVERS."
