  • 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.

What book are you reading?

Mary Called Magdalene, I like biblical fiction. I also try to stay in the WORD everyday. I am in Ester and John there :)

I would be interested to know who wrote that book.

If you enjoy biblical fiction you should try the Francine Rivers series about five woman in the lineage of Christ, if you haven't already.

I am not too sure what you mean by biblical fiction. Is that as opposed to secular fiction. Dee Henderson writes good fiction stories, with a message. I have found the series I am reading very interesting because each one of the characters questions if Christianity can work for them, but in different ways. The one is a doctor and medically the resurrection doesn't sound plausible. She then deals with that through other characters and uses scripture.

Hi Dee. With Biblical fiction is like historical fiction, which I also enjoy. It is setting is durring biblical times, ususally with biblical characters.
Thank you for the heads up on Francine Rivers sounds right up my alley.
I just looked at some of her books on Amazon.
Mary Called Magdalene is by by Margaret George.
Again, thank you.
I read a lot! The more I have to read, the happier I am!

Breaking point - Karen Ball.

Rather an emotional book at times. If you enjoy psychology, there is a bit of that too if you look for it.
Mostly though there are characters and their relationships with God and each other.
Was going to post a warning, but maybe I shouldn't. If anyone is interested in the warning pm me.
