chased by and elephant
the gospel truth about today’s stampeding sexuality
by janice barrett graham
that is the monstrous title of a new children’s book about to be slapped onto the shelves of god’s market aka walmart. the children’s book was written by the wife of anti-gay Standard of Liberty president Stephen Graham and is being carried by over 100 Walmart stores. hopefully the title alone will turn people away…unfortunately it is quite a clever title from someone swathed in such ignorance. below is a description of the book and a very heavy article from qsaltlake. we found this article through the gay america blog and the note from john said it best ‘Not enough suicides for you, Wal-Mart?’.
Overgrown jungles? Mad elephants? Tarzan and Jane?
That’s what LDS families will find in this book to help shed the clear light of truth on today’s dark and tangled ideas about male and female, proper gender roles, the law of chastity, and the God-given sexual appetite. Even more important is the emphasis on developing relationships with each member of the Godhead and the basic principles of the gospel this book illuminates, which children can learn to apply every day and which will protect them from sexual sins like nothing else.
Walmart Carrying Anti-Gay Book for Children
A children’s book written by the wife of anti-gay Standard of Liberty president Stephen Graham is being carried by over 100 Walmart stores. Chased by an Elephant, the Gospel Truth about Today’s Stampeding Sexuality by Janice Barrett Graham was written to “help shed the clear light of truth on today’s dark and tangled ideas about male and female, proper gender roles, the law of chastity, and the God-given sexual appetite,” according to Janice Graham in the book’s introduction.
“The number of our young people involved in sexual sins has greatly increased in recent years. Some of the most stalwart-seeming youth find themselves involved in pornography, fornication, promiscuity, homosexuality, and the like,” Janice continued.
According to the Standards of Liberty Web site, the book is available at 104 Walmart stores in the Intermountain West, the Brigham Young University bookstore, and through its sister sites.
“This charming, unique, and important book is a must-read for leaders and parents to use as they see fit that stunningly and resoundingly echos the truths and warnings presented in President Boyd K. Packer’s conference talk this past Sunday,” the announcement said. “For the sake of our children and youth, we can no longer afford to be silent on this topic. Given the licentious world around them, they need to be purposely taught the correct information and attitudes concerning human sexuality and God’s law of chastity.”
The Grahams claim that their son, Andrew, successfully changed his sexual orientation and is now a happily married man.
Andrew Graham wrote the book, Captain of My Soul, saying that he was “lured into same gender internet pornography during his high school years, and recruited into cursory homosexual experimentation with older men while at Brigham Young University.”
Andrew says he is shedding light on the “deceitful and predatory nature of the ‘gay’ lifestyle.”
The book’s introduction says Andrew’s “story ends happily with his subsequent deliverance and healing through family support, expert professional counseling, truth, and repentance through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Included is a lengthy introduction by expert on overcoming homosexuality.”

It’s funny how they pass judgement while they themselves are living, believing, acting out in hate. Call it in the name of God or love all you want, it still comes out the same. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and the blood that’s left by all these ‘terrorists’ (because, that’s how I view them) and the blind eye of Wal-Mart will forever be a stain on our flag. You desicrate AMERICA and all it stands for, Janice Barrett Graham. And Wal-Mart, you can kiss my ass.
