  • 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.

I just finished "What every Christian should know about the Qur'an" by James White. I'm about to start reading through the 'Westminster Larger Catechism: a Commentary".

What do you think about J. White's book? Have you read Mark Gabriel's books? If so, which author do you prefer?

I'm reading A Hard Day's Knight by Simon Green. It's the next to most recent in his Nightside series which merges detective noir, fantasy, comedy and a touch of horror. One thing I like about Green is that while he is not a Christian writer he is respectful of Christianity in his books. For example, in an 'uncredited' role, (probably uncredited due to copyright laws) Aslan made a positive appearance in one of his books.

I'm also reading a science fiction novel titled One Jump Ahead (1rst in the Jon & Lobo series) by Mark L. Van Name. It's good so far, but I like humor in my books and while this one is well written there's not much humor.

Finally, The Summer of 1787 by David O. Stewart. Non-fiction about how our Constitution came to be written. It's very interesting.

Brothers by Bernice Rueben

The story of two families that escape the pogroms of Odessa to find themselves in the middle of the nazis. I strongly recommend this book. Many Jews who survived have never shared their heart wrenching experiences with their children. From what I've seen and heard, the atrocities performed on their husbands, wives, sons, daughters, grandparents were so deeply evil that their survival and not their loved ones survival brought a feeling of guilt. Bernice Rueben tells their saga first hand.
