Read this: What the crap?


This is unbelievable...fortunately my mom knows Dekker (not personally, but she knows he is a Christian author), so I'll probably be allowed to see it, but what gets an "R" rating for terror? No sex...no nudity...according to Dekker, the only swear word used is hell, and it is used appropriatly, not as an explitive...this is an outrage!

It looks good, from what I've heard of it. I want to see it if it comes out in this country. What book is it based off? I've never heard of it, but I love a good horror film, so I'd probably be able to get my youth group along. We all look fifteen, so unless it gets 18 over here I'll go. xd

LETS START A RIOT.

Its based off of "House" by Ted Dekker and Frank Perretti. (2/3 Dekker, 1/3 Perretti...if that. the plot is Dekker, the Names are (Definatly) Dekkers, the Style is....both)

Looks pretty good. I'll try and find it in a bookshop, or in the library. Would it be in the children / teenage section, or am I gonna have to search through the adult section? (I've never actually found a book I've been looking for in the adult section, there's too many books!)

I looked Dekker up. Wow, he writes like James Patterson! (lots of books, and he cowrites with lots of people...) I'll try and get some of their books, 'cause I write Christian stories... well, two. And I haven't finished either of them, but that's irrelevant. XD

Do they publish on secular publishers?

That's messed up. It's just another example of people trying to repress Christianity. But hey, as long as you have someone 18 or older with you, you can go see it.

If you want an order to read the Books of History Chronicles(most confusing series ever....if you have questions, ask me), go:

Black
Red
White
Showdown
Saint
House
Skin
Sinner
Chosen
Infidel
Renegade
Chaos
Green (not released yet)


Thought if you like James Patterson, I reccomend
Thr3e
Adam
The Martyr's Song Series
and the Blink Seris

There's actually a whole bunch of mini-series inside that one big one. It goes Showdown, Saint, then Sinner. I want that book soooo badly!

He looks like a pretty good author. I wanna read the one that Wiki says was too demonic to be published... I like depressing books. I'll try and get Black then, it seems to be the first... Wiki seems to say it's good.

Doesn't it go in that order (I copied and pasted it... wikipedia is my friend) If they're all the same series how can- actually, no, I'm not going to ask, I'm just going to read them. xd

Books of History Chronicles
The Circle Trilogy

Black (2004)
Red (2004)
White (2004)
The Paradise Novels

Showdown (2006)
Saint (2006)
Sinner (September 200 cool
The Lost Books

Chosen (2007)
Infidel (2007)
Renegade (May 200 cool
Chaos (May 200 cool
Other

House (2006) (with Frank Peretti)
Skin (2007)


Anyway, let's talk about the House movie. (From Wiki)
wikipedia
The makers of the movie are doing something a little different with the music that is going to be played in the movie. The makers have made a deal with Tooth and Nail Records, the record company largely responsible for Christian rock, punk, hardcore, and other such bands and music. Exactly what kind of deal is not yet known, but chances are it will play some rather heavy Christian songs, or possibly just the music, in the movie. Also, there were rumors that some Christian metal songs would be in the ending credits, but the movie ended up containing solely songs by the band Anberlin.[citation needed]

Yay I like Anberlin. I'm listening to them at the moment... this had beter not be an 18+ in England! Films have to be really bad to get 18+ over here... like, Saw kind of bad. I'm still gonna see it even if it is 18+ ...not too much violence, right?

EDIT: Just seen the trailer... looks good.

I don't want to say that, though you could.

If you want to read it in that order, it would DEFINATELY work, especially if you read House before Skin in the "Other", so...

Oh, I don't know about England, but here in America, they have a book that has Black Red and White all in one (it's a big book)

I know. That's the one I might be getting off Amazon, but it's cheaper on this other site, but it says it's paperback.

big books are better in paperback, otherwise it's hard to read physically.

They fall appart if you have them in paperback though. They're mucho bettero in hardback. At least you get to read them through before they fall appart. xd

I just watched the trailer and from what I can tell it looks like it should be rated R. Maybe it's different from the book.
