Advice for an absolute MUST read book list?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I guess it doesn't have to be a book. This is the list of the ones I've read/listened to so far that I think are tremendously interesting or important (I know, it's a short list):
World Without Cancer, by G. Edward Griffin,
The Creature from Jekyll Island, by G. Edward Griffin,
Borax Conspiracy (article: https://pforlife.com/borax-conspiracy.html)
Currently I'm listening to Tragedy and Hope 101 by Joseph Plummer (if you're familiar with Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley, this is just a synthesis of that long and difficult to find book.) Additionally I'm planning on reading The Real Lincoln by Thomas DiLorenzo next.
If you have any strong recommendations, please share!
I can see a certain appeal to KJV, due to the somewhat poetic nature of Old English and some verses coming across more biblical than plain modern English - it just doesn't "hit" the same.
Our pastor last Sunday, pointed out some differences in the original Greek vs the ESV translation, with a passage in Ephesians (believe it was that book). I appreciate that kind of commentary, that someone might not understand was "lost in translation" over to English, literally lol.
I guess a person can argue for and against different translations, but for a newbie just starting out, reading and getting the gist of the entire Bible is more important than breaking down the semantics. It's hard going off of translations of translations and humans are clearly not perfect. Personally, since this is The Great Awakening and all, it wouldn't surprise me if new information is revealed about the Bible once the Vatican is dismantled....
Really appreciate you taking the time to educate me and provide your thoughts on everything literary :) A lot of great people and educated minds peruse these boards. God bless you fren!
