  • 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

I’ve always wanted to read 1984 it seems like an interesting book
It really is. Right to the last sentence, which is chilling. One summer the 1990s, I read 1984, Brave New World, and We. All were good. But 1984 is the best.

I’ll have to buy that book or check it out at my library

Well of course the Bible, Foxes book of Martyrs, pretty much anything by CS Lewis, D L Moody, A W Tozer, and a few others
Good to read about the martyrs, indeed; good to link what they suffered to specific Biblical truth.

Hinds Feet in High Places and Mountain of Spices by Hannah Hurnard
How to be Your Own Selfish Pig by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (love C.S.Lewis)
Lost Horizon by James Hilton

Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton

(The latter C.S. Lewis credited as the key contemporary book in his conversion to Christianity. Also, Dean Koontz described reading "Orthodoxy and it had a powerful effect. Then I read The Everlasting Man, which I think was the better of the two. Together they were like a one-two punch.")

I also love Life of Christ by Fulton Sheen.

(The Bible, I take, goes without saying as being at the top of the list.)
