Books

Can we please have a thread thingie for Christian fiction and non fiction books where people can discuss them recommend them etc?
Im craving some new theological books and I'd love to know if others out there no some good ones. Ive got a few goodies to share as well. I also have a few ebooks which I'd love to share as I think their really useful..

Just a thought..

So, Apparently there are not many readers on CC or atleast not this late at night or something. But anyways...
I love books. I am not sure exactly what your looking for but somethings that have been on my reading list recently are:

Relentless God by Francis Chan oh and Crazy Love by him to I started it and it's wonderful.
I want to finish reading Captivating by Stacy Eldredge
I want to read battle field of the mind by Joyce Meyer
And when Boy meets girl by Joshua Harris.

Basically these are all books taking a look at our own lives and applying the word and what gods says about us and the church today in a different light...

Lol Ive read 3 of those books and I own Captivating (made me tear up its so good!)

Yeah! I love reading! Quite often I go through a bible commentary/biograpy/novel cycle.
Currently Im reading the biography of a guy called William Tyndale who was the first to convert the bible to English for peasants but got murdered for it. A true martyr I rechon.
Another good one is by Coretta Scott King (Martin Luther Kings wife), she talks of his ministries and his civil rights stuff really well but also talkes of her own ministries as well with such humility which I think is lovely. In the appendices she adds in quite a few of his sermon transcripts which are a fantastic read!
A book Im currently on the hunt for is called "The Indestructible Book" by Ken Connolly. Its about the history of the persecutions the bible and its translations went through from the early church to today.

If your looking for a decent book of biblical dating/courtship send me a message and I'll email you an ebook called "Boundaries in Dating" by Drs Cloud and Townsend. Their take on courtship is way better that Josh Harris. I prefer to trust people with PhDs and hard experience in relationships than a young guy who thinks everyone should do it his way. Everyones different..

I'm a reader. I'm actually the Manager of a large Christian Bookstore here in Australia.

I'm a Fiction lover though, npt much good with theological books, but give me a Genre, and I'll throw you out some titles I can recommend.
Ones I have read, or best sellers/popular lines etc.
Katie

I'm a reader too

Katie, you're blessed with such a job! Did you read Ted Dekker? If you love fiction, you'll love to read his books! I'm reading the last of the Lost Books Series by him right now. After that, I have two more books waiting to be read: "Kiss" and "Adam". Read "Burn" during our last vacation.

Derek Prince has a good book about finding a spouse too: God is a Matchmaker
(to avoid confusing about which Derek Prince, as I understand there are two well known writers by this name, here's the link to Amazon: Amazon.com: God Is a Matchmaker (9780800790585): Derek Prince, Ruth Prince: Books)

Derek Prince has a lot of very good Bible teaching, we have several of his books.

I've read Crazy Love. It's good, but Walking With God by John Eldredge spoke to me more.
Captivating was good, but Wild at Heart by John Eldredge again, spoke to me more. lol
Reading I Kissed Dating Goodbye now.. it's amazing. Boy Meets Girl is next on my list, after I finish Private Worship by Nancy Missler. It's even better than Walking With God. It's so good I gave it away before I finished it... to a guy I worked with who was crying at the first chapter. Wooo!!!!

I found a Christian FREE ebook site at the Plough.com, and I downloaded "Provocations" by Kierkegaard. Anyone read it already?

Try "The Least of Prophecy"

I've been thinking for ages how to best reply with recommendations.

There are so many genres/topics and so many books in each I could recommend.

Instead of rattling off a thousand different titles, I have posted a link to the website of the company I work for.

If you see something on the site that interests you, then feel free to ask me about it, and I'll let you know what I know about that book. Obviously there are the popular/bestselling Authors/Titles, but sometimes it's hard to know about a product (especially a book) without actually looking at it, or reading the reviews etc.

**disclaimer - I am not trying to sell anything by posting the link to this website, it's purely for information purposes on available/popular books for anyone interested**

Happy Reading..
