I personally loved the Left Behind series. I have only three left. Also, Touchpoints for Women is good, and I am currently reading "A Grief Observed" by C. S. Lewis and "Why Bad Things Happen To Good People" by Harold S. Kushner. I recommend both, even if you are not currently battling with loss and confusion over why God does some things. They really make you think. 3nodding Yay!
Honestly, I'm actually waiting for something bad to happen... maybe that's not a good thing... but I need to feel some sort of loss/cruddiness so I don't feel so protected. I think I just want to experience it... *idiot me, eh? Pray for meh please*
As for the Left Behind series, I love it!! The last one is pretty cool. For the movies, though, I didn't think much of the first one. I'd like to see the second, however.
Bwahaha, me and my commas!!! COMMAS!!!! Jeho, some time or another I'm going to send you a pm with all the wrong homonyms, just to spi-make you mad. Angry. Delusional. Insane. BETRAYED!!! I'M GONNA USE BAD GRAMMAR!!--for what I don't know, last time I used Grammer for something she got mad at me. Huh.
(Sorry, weird post, pray for meh, it's gutter month)
Lets see, books... Now, I don't necessarily recommend this reading for... information. Instead use it as something to strengthen your faith when you find all of its impurities and... mistakes.
The DaVinci Code.
Now I understand that you guys have probably already read this, but it's a good mystery novel. Sort of. It has a car chase it in.
However, it's kind of strengthen my faith because of its mistakes. Like, when he talks about Mary Magdalene in The Last Supper. DaVinci himself, in a sketch of that painting, pointed out that the 'woman' is actually a man, one of the Disciples. Forgive me that I forgot his name.
Also, even in the 'gospels' that aren't in the Bible, there is not evidense, proof, or even inkling of a marriage.
Although Jewish... people were supposed to be married at a certain age, there were some exceptions. A lot of priests and... other important Jewish people were not married.
There are many books about the DaVinci code out, and most are good to read. I'll come up with some titles in a different post, I can't find the books.
Before I end this long, almost-seemingly meaningless post, my source is an unbiased religious scholar, not a Christian who looks at the Bible (and books 'related' to it) in a certain light. So I think that the words hold pretty true, don't you?
