Ha ha funny, that's so "Greek" of you to make puns of someone's name.
No one can discuss your post if they cannot understand it. You didn't say anything in that post that anyone could respond to.

ONTOPIC:
I read another book about Sarah, I think it was "Sarai" by an Israeli author. I'll have to see if I can find it again. I like the historical stuff myself rather than the Left Behind books (too... something) or other things that fall into "Christian Fiction" so to speak.

ThetaPrincess24 04-02-2008 12:39 PM

So now I'm hooked to the Left Behind series. I just finished the first book in the three volume pre-quel of the series.

I am getting ready to start the second one, The Regime.

Your more than welcome!

So, my spelling is wrong so the whole thread or posting is wrong?

What is amazing is the the few, proud, and hallowed want to jump on this instead of discussing the post?

Other than miss typoing, what was wrong with this post I made?

The idea was there and you cannot understand it?:rolleyes:

Little minds are in the eyes of the beholders.

Drofile I could actually could care less what you think.:rolleyes:

You aint stuff.

catiebug, why do you not get with it instead going with the path?

You wish to talk, then PM me instead of putting words out?;)

Have a fun Biblical Day!:D

Dude, seriously.

The only question you asked was whether the Bible is "true or false" (or whether it is "fiction") - unless you count the interjection "Stranger than fiction?" to be a real question, but I can't imagine it was anything but rhetorical.

This isn't really a point for discussion for the following reasons:

1 - wrong thread (not even close to the thread's intent)
2 - it is a false dilemma (there are other options than "true or false" or "fiction or nonfiction")
3 - it is unnecessarily pejorative (depending on where you start, one assumed side is actually offensive to the other)
4 - there's no discussion, just non sequitur

Additionally, "Little minds are in the eyes of the beholders" is just surreal in terms of comedy, irony and being cryptic, but that's neither here nor there.

So either post better and resolve those 4 problems, or don't act like everyone else is the idiot. At some point, Occam's Razor dictates that it can't. be. everyone. else.

I also like Beverly Lewis and Karen Kingsbury, but I find both of these authors repeat their plots a lot.

Well, Kingsbury does get kind of annoying when her characters keep singing "Great Is They Faithfulness" at the end of every book, no matter what just happened to them. Now come on!

I remember Angela Hunt's nonfiction book on adoption and infertility from 20 or so years ago. Really good!

What's ruined? I'm actually still laughing. :cool:

I am so anxious for Flame to get here. I'm also reading The Chronicles of Narnia. When I was a kid, I read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and The Silver Chair. So now, I'm reading the whole series, in the order Lewis meant it to be in. I'm really excited, it's quite good. I'm working with a 9-year-old who is also reading them and even though that's slightly weird, it gives us a lot to talk about! lol

ETA: WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! My book just arrived!

CrimsonTide4 04-03-2008 06:33 PM

In junior high and high school, I read books by Janette Oke that were set in the pioneering days and centered around Marty, Clark and their children. One day I hope to read them all over again from start to finish.

The Chronicles of narnia is a great read!!!! Just an aside, husband and I have advance tickets to see Prince Caspian next month :) AND if you like Chronicles of Narnis be sure to read The Lord of the Rings if you havent already. it has similar themes. Tolkien and Lewis were both in the same literary society and often traded ideas for stories and character development.

Those were some of the first "adult" (outside of the children's section) books that I read! I love them and to this day they are still some of my favorites!

Have you seen the Hallmark movies based on the books? The first one had Katherine Heigl in it!

Drolefille 04-04-2008 12:17 AM

Madeline L'Engle's books also have a lovely blend of religion and philosophy worked into them. She's a cool Lady.

carnation 04-04-2008 07:26 AM

Oh, I adore Madeline L'Engle! The Wrinkle In Time quadrilogy (is that what you call a set of 4 books?) is the best. A lot of people don't even know about the 4th one, Many Waters.

The Narnia books are incredible. I read Prince Caspian with the kids in my ESOL class and they loved it! Their grade is going to go see the movie when it comes out next month. The first book and the last are some of the best works in Christian literature.

I've never seen them, but I saw a commercial recently for them. One day I hope to actually watch them.:cool:

Wow! I didnt realize how fast I was moving through the series. I've now completed all three pre-quels and am now half way through book six, "The Assassins." I cant slow down! It's like an ever running movie and I have to keep reading to find out what happens next!

Funny, never answered the question?

Is the Bible a truism or just a book that has been changed over the years?

If you can answer that question then you are a numero of all!

As far as I can see, there are no answers to those or any questions?;)
