Looking for a good book to read besides the Bible
Hello, I am in the search for a good Christian Book to read besides the Bible, you see I go to a book club at my local library and this month's book is not to my liking at all.
As of late all the books the ladies pick -they are much older then I am- seem to want the romantic, love books that make my stomach flip with the idea of touching one! I mean seriously these books should not be in the hands of anyone, they are trash!
Anyway I am looking for a good Christian book, I love fantasy and fiction but love a wonderful adventure and wish these ladies would take a hint for me and guard what they think is 'good' reading.
So help me out in finding a good book, I do not mind even if it is young adult for I have read Dragons in our Midst, Oracles of Fire and Children of the Bard all by Bryan Davis.
I am so ready to put down a book list as long as a yard if I have to, need a good read to really set my summer off. ~Bonnie

Re: Looking for a good book to read besides the Bi
When I was growing up in old time Pentecost there were 3 acceptable things to read;
1. Bible
2. Reader's Digest
3. Louis L'amour Western novels

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I like Kirsten Billerbeck (she sent me a free book last year), Melody Carson (humorous authors) and Dee Henderson (suspense). You can Google these authors.

Fox's Book of Martyrs.
Either that or Ted Dekker.

Re: Looking for a good book to read besides the Bi
I just answered you Post on another Thread, so I'll put it here also.
I have just finished the best book that I ever read on praying in unknown tongues.
“The Walk of the Spirit, The Walk of Power” by Dave Roberson
It is free on Amazon, to read on the Kindle. (Not sure about paperback0
The Bible tells us to walk in the Spirit, and we won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. If people would get serious enough to crave to walk in the Spirit, they will see a great change.
