  • 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

Hey, I just had an idea. I've got a bunch of books lying around that I have already read and probably won't need to read again. Most of them are not really reference material per se, but could be edifying to others. In the past, I would just give them away, but I thought that if others were thinking to do the same, perhaps we could instead have a book trade or exchange. I then thought that it might be a good idea if the whole forum were able to get in on it.

So, I thougth I might start this thread to see how the idea might go over. Is anyone else interested in trading some dusty old books?

I was going through my collection and could easily bear to part with these:

Why I Am Not an Arminian, Robert A. Peterson & Michael D. Williams

The Doctrines of Grace, James Montgomery Boice & Philip Graham Ryken

Wild at Heart, John Eldridge

The Mark of a Man, Elizabeth Eliot

Keep in Step with the Spirit, J. I. Packer

Future Grace, John Piper

Debating Calvinism (Five Points, Two Views), James White & David Hunt

Scripture Alone, James White

The Essential Arthur W. Pink Collection (The Attributes of God, The Sovereignty of God, the Beatitudes, and the Lord's Prayer)

The Bible Jesus Read, Philip Yancy

The Book on Leadership, John MacArthur

The World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle, James C. Hunter

Men of the Bible (One-year devotional), Ann Spangler & Robert Wolgemuth

Don't Date Naked, Michael & Amy Smalley (this one is fairly stupid, honestly)

When Good Men Are Tempted, Bill Perkins

The Way We Work, Cynthia Ulrich Tobias

Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth: A Critique of Dispensationalism, John Gerstner.

Jon, that's a great idea, a lot of my books are currently boxed up. If you have no takers online here, perhaps you'd be interested in the above site. They need more books that we can offer them -- they currently have a very limited selection as I looked for anything by Ryken.

Thanks, Jules. I'll check them out.

(By the way, I'm done with Ryken's City on a Hill if you'd like to read it. :) )
