Christian Books

Ok guys. I'm kinda new here and wanted to get involved in the forms. Well, come on guss. I want to know your fav Christian Book. I might have read it. I am a big time reader!Well, let's see how this goes.

 

When you say "Christian books", do you mean books written by Christian authors? Or books centered around Christianity?

 

both. If u saw this b4 I edited it, pay no mind to it.

 

Read 'The Traveller's Gift'.

 

Sounds good. I might have to do that. I am currently waiting for 3 books to come out. One comes out Feb. 16 and the other two.....the reliese date hasn't been announced yet.


(PS: If I ever spell anything wrong, forgive me. Spelling in NOT my strong point.)

 

"The shack" is great. : I you read it?

 

I know someone who has but I haven't. It's doesn't look like my style of book. I like the Christian fantacy more.

 

The Chronicles of Narnia is supposed to be Christian series.

 

I tried reading those but they were just too.......kidish for me. I'm not insulting them I am jsut saying wut I thought about em.

 

Sati by Christopher Pike.
I don't think it's really a CHRISTIAN book, per se, but it's a good read nonetheless.

 

Hm....I have never heard of it.

 

The general basis that a trucker finds a girl named Sati who claims to be God.

 

Ok. Well, she must b um........-can't think of the right word-

 

His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman.
Better known as The Golden Compass. It's not so much about Christianity itself than it is about the church. Some Christian/Catholic schools have banned it, others have made it a part of the curriculum.

If you've only ever seen the movie, you'll probably be like "whaaaa". They left out the controversial part when they made the movie. Which kind of sucked, because it was a pretty big part of the book.

 

The Golden Compass was written by an athiest AGAINST Christianity

 

Yes and no. Yes, it was written by an atheist. And yes, the author publicly says he does not support Christianity. Nevertheless, the book is still about Christianity. The story doesn't blatantly insult Christianity. It's just a huge metaphor. Many believe it should be a part of religious education.

 

Well.......no. I see no reason for a book with deamons as main poeple to be read by Christians. To each their own though

 

Well, if this is including Devotionals/Guidance Books I'd have to say "Do Hard Things" by Alex & Brett Harris and "Live Like a Jesus Freak" by dcTalk. Both are great books.

As for a fictional story, I'd have to say the "Left Behind" series.

 

My fav devotional in 'Walking With Frodo'

 

It's a million times deeper than it looks. It's filled with metaphors and parallelisms (Aslan is Jesus, for example).
And the daemons in His Dark Materials are not like the Christian concept of demons at all. You really should read them; it's good to get an outsider's view of one's faith.
