A little kid ran up as we were passing, pointed to him and called back to his parents "Mom! It's Jesus!" The CM cracked up too!

As a Christian your everyday living either grows you or it doesn't; no book or excessive focus on spiritual matters should be needed.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance If only they made one of these for Disneyland. You know, it's all well and good to joke around about this, but think of the poor kids whose parents will actually buy this and attempt to make their WDW vacation a living hell. It'll ruin Disney for life for those poor souls.

I also am a christian, but I am not always looking through that prism in regards to every experience in life. I guess that is important for some. In regards to publishing a christian quide book to WDW. They have guide books to WDW for many, many different people. I have no problem with someone publishing one for christians. However, this website as well as other online resources, I would think, would be more than adequate.
