Which book are you reading?

[Grace2022]

Hi
In my case lots of books on the go, to further my Christian knowledge and faith, including my Bible on my Kindle. I don't want to 'waste' time on other books. I read during my lunch break and any odd moment. Cannot imagine life without reading.

Right now I'm reading 'Flight to Heaven' by Dale Black.
I love near death experience books. This one is really good. I've only just started it.

I've got a couple on the go, as well. Just reread most of CS Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia and have either started these or have them on the nightstand for next in line:

The Truth of our Faith by Elder Cleopa of Romania (Orthodox)
The Orthodox Way by Bishop Kallistos Ware (Orthodox)
Before the Door of God: an Anthology of Devotional Poetry by Jay Holer & Kimberly Johnson (eds) (Ecumenical)
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (a reread and one of my favorites) (Lutheran)
A Night in the Desert of the Holy Mountain by Metropolitan Hierotheos (Orthodox)
On the Jesus Prayer by Ignatius Brianchaninov (Orthodox)
Bearing Witness: Stories of Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship by Charles Moore & Timothy Keiderling (Bruderhof-Anabaptist)
Cries from the Heart by Johann Christopher Arnold (Bruderhof - Anabaptist)

That should keep me busy for awhile. I used to read a lot of science fiction and fantasy, but found I haven't had as much time recently as when I was younger.

I have quite a few books on near death experiences, as well, though not the one that you are reading. I find those stories fascinating.

Thanks, that's great. Interesting books you are reading.

"Book of Mysteries" by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn (Love learning about Jewish perspective on Scriptures because they have even more meaning then). Also, reading about the Courts of Heaven by Robert Henderson - again based on Scripture.

Lilly54, I like NDE books also. Just Finished "Imagine Heaven" by John Burke. Have you heard of it? Someone on CF had posted about it. Another person said they write those books for the money. In my case for that one, I paid $1.99. The author had included some Scripture.

Other than the Bible, I am not a big reader of books. My daughter recently gave me a copy of a book that she was reading though, and I finished it long before her, and it is 638 pages. "He Will Reign Forever" A Biblical Theology of the Kingdom of God, by Michael J. Vlach. This is an excellent book showing that "the kingdom" is one of the main themes of the Bible. I have read the Bible through many times, but since reading this book, it has opened my eyes to this great theme throughout.

When I am not studying my Chem texts I am reading IT by Stephen King

Books can be helpful but also harmful.
I like the ones that look at every possible perspective, not just the ones that fulfill a narrative.
But books that do that normally end with a list of questions rather than solid answers.
The ones that try and create a new insight or even a new doctrine normally leave out other perspectives and focus on the ones that fit the narrative. Thats why I don't like reading books.
I feel like the universe is incredibly complex and none of us really have it figured out. I think its great to CONSIDER the viewpoints of others but not to follow them.
I feel like we should be able to write our own books. If we turn off the radio and tv and teachers and just listen, God can and will teach us all things. I have learned numerous life lessons looking at nature.

I am reading Best Stories from Guideposts. True stories about people who have been in situations where they should have died, and kidnapping, and how these people put there trust in God and are calm and peaceful in a dangerous situation. Many tell the Lord that if they live or die, it's in His hands. It has reminded that no matter what the situation, I do not need to fret, but just to trust the Lord, and that even if I was in a situation with water up to my neck and it looked like the end, I would have God's peace and no fear.

I have been reading Bishop Ussher's book written over 500 years ago.
