What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, cause there ain't no disgussing the truth

Sorry that you felt like that Sweden. I have the book but only read the first 100 or so pages and found it to heavy going. What didn't you like about it and what made you so angry?

well... I didn't like the things with Mary.. that she would have married Jesus and they would have got a child together..
it was too much of female (godness?) and I could sometimes guess how the story would continue.
Plus it's not my genre...

Oh come on, the Theology was really, really, REALLY screwed up, adn the history was way out of wack, too, but the writing itself wasn't TOO bad, I didn't think. To me, the writting and idealogy would have to BOTH be really messed up for me to call it the worst book ever. With that in mind, the worst book I've ever read was Left Behind. Bad Theology, and bad writing, written just to play off Christians emotions and make MILLIONS for the Authors. Personally, I hope the authors of both these book share a cell down the hall from Satan.  |

Amen, Tibby. But I have trouble calling those books the absolute worst...
Those are down there, but for me, the absolute worst would have the be a book called Bless Me Ultima, which I had to read for school. Ugh. I'm sick of reading all these books about minorities in America, or hispanics in Central America. They're all so cliched.

I know what you mean! They get so old after a while. You can only read about so much made up injustice before you think "Come on now, NOTHING is that depressing!" I understand that some people have hard lives, but these authors write about average huan suffering as if it was the Holocaust! Having to live on 500 a week is ok, it is GREAT, but you can pull it off, if you have the self controll to have less then 20 kids! THe Pearl, the Grapes of Wrath, I know Stienbeck writes "American Classics" but they seem like well-written, pre-TV versions of those "For the price of a cup of coffee, you can feed a whole village in Africa for a year" commericals (Of course, with the price from of these coffee shops charge now a days, they might even have money left over to send the village kids to med school!) You wanna read a book that will REALLY anger you along the same line, read "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" Harriet Beecher Stowe never even when to the South when the wrote the many installments of it! Just reading about how much of a cruel hearted woman she was is enough to make you want to start the slave trade again, just out of spite! and I felt that way BEFORE reading the emotionally-manipulative piece of garbage propaganda! |

I LOVE the Left Behind books. I am on a fixed income and get most of my books from library but those I buy.
betty
I agree the DaVinci Code is a lie from the devil.

Yeah, I did, but I wasn't going to be the first to touch. LEft Behind is not what I would call "Bible truth" either.  |
