The Purpose-Driven Life by ummm...that one dude....

To all you fellas out there reaching or post puberty, check out Every Young Man's Battle. There's also Every Man's Battle. Haven't read that one just yet. An interesting one on dating is I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris.

Hey, man, we're all close to the same age group around here, and I got through puberty fine. Of course, there was that one time...never mind...

Well, I'm just saying it's a good read for those reaching or past puberty. More applicable for the older but not yet "adult" crowd. I don't mean 18 when I say adult.

this is a good book for the fantsy lovers. it isnt really about God but it is about overcomming stereotypes and learning to look at people for their personality. its about a dark elf who travels to the surface world and has to prove that he is different from his evil kin. all the R.A. Salvatore books from the forgotten realms involving Drizzt Do'Urden are VERY GOOD.
yea, that's a great book, i loved it soooooooooooooooo much...i highly recomend it...and the purpose-diven life is a great thing to read, it helps you understand alot and i'm almost finished with it...so yea...i guess that's all i've got to say about that....


awsome to c another Salvatore fan out their. his books are amazing to say the least. everything a good book needs from love to action, pain of loss, and reuniting with old friends.


wats their titles?

Another good book is 2 Die 4. It's a really quick read, but it's great! It's about possibly laying down your life for Christ and what being a Christain really means.

Under the Overpass is a good book too. The author actually came to our church and spoke to us about his time being homeless.

Some other good books that will hopefully come out soon include:
Kredditt and the Motleyy Cruee by Professor...I'll get back to you on that name...
93 Questions you should ask yourself and probably more than that (also known as Questions of the Day and the answers too) by Jon Garcia
The House of the Fodues by Ohio Stevens

Those are the three books that I am working on right now. I still need to finish them all, though.

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?
