What are some great books that you have read?

Christianity is Jewish by Edith Schaeffer, wife of apologist Dr. Francis Schaeffer It is very good in showing how the bible is one unified book.


The New World Religion by Gary Kah. It has a great discussion of the foundation of New Age beliefs by the occultic Theosophy Society. It also talks about Lucius Trust, which has offices on Wall Street - the original name? Lucifer Publishing Company. It made me more aware of the occultic influences fighting Christianity.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. This book really moved me. He is a psychologist who was inprisoned in the Nazi death camp system. In one part, in discussing those who were giving up, he wrote (italics are his):

"We had to learn ourselves, and furthurmore we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us."

Now substitute 'God' for 'life' in that sentence.

The Apocolypse by Joseph Seiss. This book was a series of sermons he gave in the later 1800's. VEry good!

And the Band Played On by Randy Shilts. This is a journalistic work chronicling the AIDS epidemic from late 1970's to 1987. Should be mandatory reading for anyone in public health, for it shows how all parties (congress, Reagan White House , National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, the gay community, hospitals) all responded in a political way rather than a very needed public health way which would have saved many lives. And that the media let us down with the manner in which it didn't report it, or badly reported it.
