  • 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 was wanting to give gifts to family members of a book that would explain the gospel. The shorter the better, however, the most "beautiful" and well written is the key that would really get me enthusiastic about it. It needs to be a great book for me so when I offer it, I'm not just blowing smoke.

Apperciate the input. I have no idea where else to post such a request. Suggestion?

The best candidate I can think of at the moment is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis. Its chief negative is that it's a children's book (or, at least, marketed as such), and that's off-putting to some adults. But it's one of the best descriptions of the gospel that I know of.

Lots of books at Living Waters.
Another idea may be to give them a book and a million dollar note that has the Gospel on it. Say the note can be used as a bookmark.
