  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello,
I would like to ask for advice/recommendation if someone has any good books to read, they don't have to be christian, what is important to me is that there is clean language, no cussing, no meantioning God's name in vain way, thanks :)
I mostly enjoy reading Eastern Orthodox books.

If your interest is in fiction, I prefer Dostoevsky's books.

It’s HARD to find clean young adult and adult books! I think the cleanest I’ve ever read is the Host, and i think it has a few words in it and there are times when it says stuff about unmarried men and women sleeping together (but not having sex). I usually stick to reading kid’s books like Warriors

A few good books I've read recently:

Momo - It's a fantasy novel from the 70s. I've read it a bunch of times already.

Man's Search for Meaning - It's a Viktor Frankl book about his experiences living in a Nazi concentration camp. It's a beautiful and inspiring book even though it's mostly about such a sad subject.

Pedro Paramo - It's a Mexican fantasy novel from the 50s (another one I've read a bunch of times.)

I honestly don't remember if there's any cursing or mentioning of God's name in vein in those books. If there's any, it'd probably be in the third book.

Most books before a certain date have clean language. Not precisely sure what the cut off would be but it's probably about the same as with movies and shows. Looking for classics or books from earlier time periods should provide a lot of options.
