What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Has anyone read the Abraham Lincoln book by Carl Sandburg? I bought it at an estate sale and it's my next read, having just finished my Pretty Boy Floyd biography by Michael Wallis...great historical account, well written...highly recommend!
I love biographies and I'd much rather read one than a romance or fantasy novel.
I am reading a Christian apologetics book my brother gave me, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" by Geisler and another guy. Liking it so far. It is an easier read than " Evidence that demands a verdict" by the McDowell guys, but still very effective.
I agree, and it's better in some ways than On Guard, by William Lane Craig. Read all three, and I agree, Evidence is a Longer and harder read, mostly because Josh McDowell wanted to cite all his resources.
The SauceFag in me likes that.
I agree, I prefer to have the sources myself, but it makes the book more of a tool for Christians than a book one can give to a seeker, unless that seeker is someone who wants sources at his or her fingertips. (as I would)
I have a couple CS Lewis books to read. I need to up my book intake.
Screwtape Letters?
Maybe. I started that one, I think, at the library in the church where I used to work. I never got to finish it.
My mom loves that book
Evidence That Demands a Verdict is a tough read, would probably be better as an audiobook (would make sense, since it is a compilation of lecture notes).
Another good one that's a bit easier of a read is The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.
I've read Lee Strobel's "The Case For Christ" and, yep, I agree it's a good one.
I did read "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" cover-to-cover when on my search for TRUTH in 2017-2018 timeframe. It is very comprehensive and yep, audio book might have helped these old eyes get through it.
My decision after all is that it is reasonable to be a Christian. I knew for sure when the Holy Spirit of TRUTH came calling on my heart.
This one is 742 pages and I'm not a fast reader, so it will take me awhile to compare if I even get to. I always find something else to do other than read! I don't want an audio book, either. I should spend less time on here, broadening my horizons, and just read a good book. ;)
