RiseUp! discussion

Any other books we should talk about? List some.

Narrow door at colditz

Never heard of them. I'll make a topic for them.

I just finished reading Seeking Patience by Josie Riviera. A Gypsy man finds himself at the mercy of young widowed countess. Moved by her compassion and her strong faith and God, Luca Bolder finds his life transformed as he falls in love with the woman who battles to save him. This was such a fun, easy-read, book to cuddle up with.

Ok, Ill make it...

I'm reading a book right now called Hiking Through: One man's jouney to peace and freedom on the Appalachian Trail by Paul Stutzman. It is his true story about losing his wife to cancer, and finding his way again with out her while hiking the Appalachian Trail. He writes in a wonderful way that really shows his heart and faith. I would love to read this with others, and be able to chat while we read.

I made the topic.

The Dragons in Our Midst, Oracles of Fire, and Children of the Bard series by Bryan Davis. Also The Door Within trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson.

All GREAT Christian books. Inspired me soooooo much to love God even more!!!

I'll make a thread for Bryan Davis.

Ever read the "Reflections From The Edge" series by Bryan Davis.

I'm reading a series called Sisterchicks. Does anyone else read them?

Never heard of them. I'll make a topic for ya.

Okay, I'll make one.

Perhaps the Dragons in Our Midst/Oracles of Fire/Children of the Bard series by Bryan Davis?

Warrior Cats!

Sure, I'll make a thread for it.

The Narnia books? They're really Catholic.

I'll make one soon.

Well, Meli, that is debatable. Lewis was not a Catholic when he wrote them, but he was influenced by Tolkien, who was Catholic.
I just think of them as good Christian books, no matter what denomination.

Yeah :)
I see a lot Catholic stuff in them, though. My Youth group did a Narnia night, and then we turned it into a weekend where we just did Narnia stuff and talked about the Catholic stuff in them. It was pretty awesome :)

That sounds really cool!

It was!

I can't guarantee any of us has read it, but if you'd like to make a thread, go ahead.

Quick question, how old are you again Jenna?

Reading a book that helps me to seek the Lord more. The cool thing is that we limit God. "Unlimiting God: Increasing Your Capacity to Experience the Divine" by Richard Blackaby.

Relax reading for fiction is the Brother Band series by John Flanagan. I just started. Real interesting.

Oh, cool...

It is good reads for sure. :)

Does anyone know of a good book to recommend for inspiration when going through tough times? I have the one by Max Lucardo and was wondering if any were geared specifically for women going through the loss of a loved one (my dad ), divorce and starting over by myself in a new town. Okay I know that none would be THAT specific but maybe one that would be a comfort. I am holding on to God.

Here is a list of good Christian books dealing with grief and loss of a loved one. http://restministries.com/2012/04/gri...

Here is my book on life after death--the science and the stories:http://www.amazon.com/Glimpsing-Heave....
