Hello to all in Jesus name
I have a question regarding books that you read. I really enjoy reading and ever since I was converted (6 years ago) I have been trying to find "good" books that are worth reading. My convictions reflect the teachings of Jesus, so that really rules out most books. I am interested in finding a good selection of non-fiction, and I do find some historical fiction books to be edifying. One example of this kind of book that I just read recently was Uncle Tom's Cabin. I was blessed and encouraged by the struggles of the characters in the book, but most importantly, how God effected everything in their lives, and how the picture of what it is to be a true follower of Jesus was brought out by the character of Uncle Tom. I have read most of David Bercots books and have read many biographies like " The Hiding Place" by Corrie Tenboom. These are the kind of books that I am interested in, as well as books about historical events regarding American Indians, Slavery, and the Holocaust. It is just such a blessing to read about true christians in the past that overcame evil with good, and I would like to be able to allow my children to read some books like these when they are older. If you all have some books that you find to be simular in truth and in reality, please share the titles and authors with me. Thank you for your imput.
