  • 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

Books,books,books, I like hard copy.
I don't know what I would do without books.

If you like reading you never get bored.

I remember when I was about eight and first joined the library I thought it was the best thing ever!
And it has never waned.

It is funny that I have very much curbed my reading of books now as I found it was taking time away that I could spend in the Bible.
Now I limit it to an occasional mystery novel and non fiction of something that interests me.
If that sounds extreme I was reading around five novels a week.

My Bible is first and foremost what I read and what's good is you may read it over and over and it is still new!

I prefer to read hard copies as it adds something to the reading experience which an ebook can't replicate. However, I will go for the Kindle version if the book is difficult to find and/or quite expensive.

I haven't done a lot of reading for leisure lately. However, I do prefer hardcover paper books. I hate staring at a screen for extended periods of time, ironically enough, lol.

I prefer paper books myself. I don't like staring at or sitting at the computer screen for too long at a time. But sometimes I do read articles, fanfictions, and of course stuff on CF and my e-mail on the computer. I don't listen to audio books unless you count @SarahsKnight 's awesome Let's Reads I've been checking out.

I used to read a lot, but I don't read as much anymore. Right now on a typical day I read some of the Bible and stuff on CF and in my e-mail and not much else. Once in a while I'll read a book if it interests me.

I prefer paper books and that is what I primarily read. A distant second are e-books. Some books are easier as an e-book due to their size, such as The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote. A very distant third are audio books. If I am going on a long road trip I will listen to an audio book sometimes
