Books

I’m wanting to deepen my relationship with Christ, but can’t afford to go to the Christian bookstores to buy the books. So I am looking for ministries and such that offer free books, magazines, and information that I can receive in the mail. I look forward to receiving information about Jesus in my mail everyday. I need more..he is so good!

Bro I would study the bible to get a better relationship with Jesus. Scripture is powerful and it discerns thoughts and intents of our heart, It will convict us where we are wrong and encourage us in that which is good. A magazine is a second hand witness where the scripture is an eye witness. Study the whole thing form Gen to Rev…Jesus said you study the scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life but it is these that bare witness of ME…here are a few
foundational verses that I like to consider
…without faith it is impossible to please God.
…faith comes by hearing, hearing the word of God
…apart from Me you can do nothing
…without love I am nothing.

if all of your thoughts and actions have the pursuit of God int hem and you build upon the foundation of the word of God you will know Jesus personally very well, because you will become like him. God bless I hope you at least test this out for a couple weeks before getting stuck in magazines.

I am home producing my R.N. memoirs and wish to bind the finished booklet.

Some paperbacks at least use "padding compound" to hold the pages together.
You can buy it, or you can make your own from permanent white glue.

If you’re interested in more info on that, check out this page at my site under the category called NOTEPADS:

There are lots of ways to "bind" books (and booklets) though, from simple to complex-and-fiddly!

I have a large science fiction and fantasy collection that I am breaking up and want to sell. I am wondering the best way to sell these books online. These books are mostly paperbacks in mint condition (I read the books at the library and then bought them at Coles for the collecting). I have a paypal account so I can do Ebay, but what are some alternatives? If Ebay is the best way, what is my best options for selling them?

As a seller the most important thing to consider is the size of your potential market. To wit, a basic business tenet is ‘The greater the potential market, the greater the potential to maximize profits.’

Your largest potential market is eBay worldwide, not just the USA.

HOWEVER,

BOOKS ARE A TOUGH SELL. 99%of books don’t command a great deal of money. Before you waste your time, visit larger used book booksellers on the web such as Abe’s Books:

http://www.abebooks.com/

For each book, see what the booksellers are asking for the book. Then you may want to establish your guidelines as to whether you want to list the book or not. Perhaps these guidelines may work for you:

If used booksellers are asking $5 or less for the book, don’t bother. Selling items for $5 or less at eBay, in my opinion, is a time and energy waster for little return. If this is the case, you may just want to group a lot of 3-5 books in one auction listing and categorize your listings either by author or subject matter.

If used booksellers are asking $5-$10 for the book, I’ll let you decide.

If used booksellers are asking $10+ for the book, list it.

If you don’t see the book listed at Abe’s, then:

1. It is extremely rare and worth a small fortune

or

2. It is worthless. (‘Gently’ place it in your recycling bin or donate it.)

I love funny books, but where I live we mostly only have used book stores. And I dont like paying full price for books lol. So what are some funny books I can probally find in a used book store? I really like fiction

And I mean like teenager/adult books.

Thank you!

Look out for Janet Evanovich books, especially her Stephanie Plum series. They’re fun and often turn up in the second-hand book shops I look in.

I’m making my little brother read more because I don’t think he reads enough lol. He says that he’s interested in mystery or "scary" books. Any suggestions? Please. He’s going to turn ten, so don’t suggest books the size of Harry Potter books. Thanks.

Nine and ten year old kids are still very much into Goosebumps for the scary aspect.
The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney is fantasy with a definite creepy feel. Perfect for that age.
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart is a good mystery type series with a lot of puzzles that give you something to think about.

I used to buy books all the time, and many of them I haven’t even read but don’t plan to anymore. The ones that I have read still look brand new. So I’m wondering if there is a good way to get rid of them and maybe get some money back for them or support a really good cause. Are there any organizations looking for book donations, or good sites to sell them on, or something?

You could take them to a used book shop. They usually have a trade policy.

Your local library would love to have new stock.

A public school library or hospital would also be a good choice.

There are book swap sites where you can trade your books that you no longer want. Try http://bookmooch.com/

I have always read fantasy books and such, but I want to start reading Christian Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I recently have started reading the Dragon Keeper Chronicles by Donita Paul and I love it. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I absolutely love reading and would really appreciate your suggestions!!

Zenna Henderson’s the People stories, and that is one recommendation you will not get easily.
The usual suspects:
Narnia, LOTR, Screwtape letters, Canterbury tales, the stories by Joseph F. Girzone, (joke: the book of Morman as Bible fanfic), etc.

I have a books a million gift card and i dont get how i buy things online with it!!! Can you give me step by step instructions plz???? And Only answer if you know!!!!

you can go to any website like amazon.com, flipkart.com or any other site. Register there, select your book, add to cart, and pay via online banking, paypal, debit/credit card or any other mean that the site supports. done!!!

There seem to be a lot of questions here about where to access copyrighted books (ie: those not in the public domain) online for free. Is this becoming an acceptable practice in general society?

No. No more than it’s acceptable practice to walk into a bookshop and steal a book. It amounts to the same thing, and most people over the age of about 16 realise that.

Hi, I’m in a 7th grade accelerated reading class, and I need to get a mystery book. What are some good mystery books for my level that I could read? Thanks!
