my husband wants a divorce after 12 years- we have 2 kids- 12yr old and 8yr old, and I’m looking for some Christian books or guides to help them through this process
The Bible talks about it pretty well.
She wants me to read some books by Lee Strobel and Norman Geisler. For each book I read, though, I’m allowed to ask her to read a book from the atheist point of view. Which ones should I recommend?
And don’t suggest science books or anything like that, because she already knows that stuff. Some of it better than I do.
The god delusion by Richard Dawkins, and God is not great by Christopher Hitchens
so I am looking for a Christian book that will help me prepare for a guy girl casual dating relationship…oh and if it helps I’m a teen male.
I recommend books by Joshua Harris.

So for my English class we have to choose our own book and read it. I need some good book suggestions. I don’t like girly, girly novels. I can deal with a little romance as long as it is not like kiss kiss all throughout the book. The book needs to be long, not as long as Harry Potter books, but longer than a kids book. It’s for an 8th grader. What are some intriguing books that you just loved to read?
The Hunger Games, although that may be a little mature for you? I think it’s aimed at 14 – 17 year olds though also City of Bones falls into this category – both are excellent though!
Ender’s Game
The Giver
Gathering Blue
Walk Two Moons
One of Those Hideous Books Where The Mother Dies ~ make sure you teacher will accept it, it’s written in poetry style, so has low word count
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
All of these were really good, I read them (except Hunger Games and City of Bones) between 6th and 9th grade
If you were an author, would you go against having your book published in electric format?
Sandey, I love the smell too, people look at me weird when I stick my nose between the pages and take a good sniff haha
It is inevitable yes… I think that technology has to firm a grasp on our every-day lives to revert back now. I also love the smell of a good book and the texture of nice print paper but sadly in the end it won’t exist as we have known it and grown up with. I as a reader would be sad to see pressed books go, but as an author it opens numerous gates of opportunity, plus a money saver for publishing companies. From a readers angle I can’t see to many good things about digital books, they might be handy, the might be cheaper and you might be able to store and carry more than you ever could in pressed books, but all-in-all you loose the quality of what a "book" actually is… to me it all just becomes words on the screen, with the digital versions I just loose the adventure and the interest in the story, I find it harder to invision the story in my mind and get involved. From a buisness angle technology is the way of the future for any market (be it music, movies, fashion etc.) and like many others, the book industry will have to adapt to survive. I’d rather digital eBooks than no books at all.
Hopefully in my lifetime books will still exist as I’ve grown up to know them. I’m sure generations down the track hard pressed books will be something of an antique oddity.
