Real Christian discussion

This is where we talk about books(:

Nightmare City by Andrew Klavan is an extremely great book. I recommend it to everyone. It was a different type of book than I'm used to and it was a bit mysterious at first, but everything gets summed up perfectly at the end. I also really loved the main lesson behind it.

Wow that sounds wonderful Caitlyn!!!!(; I am so gonna look into that(;

Awesome, that's great :)

Thanx:D

No problem ;) Have you ever read anything from Andrew Klavan?

No I haven't. Is he good?

I read The Homelanders series by Andrew Klavan and have been wondering about his other books because that was good. I had a question though. Based on the descriptions for some of his books they look horror stories, is that true, or are tgey just spiritual warfare. I think he's Jewish or something.

I've read The Homelanders series, Nightmare City, Crazy Dangerous, and If We Survive. I also have Mindwar, but haven't gotten to read it yet. I loved all the ones I read, except for If We Survive. That one had a good story, but was really slow for me and the charaters were annoying. I loved Crazy Dangerous soo much. It's a great story. The main lesson sort of thing throughout it was 'Recte age nil time', which means 'Do right. Fear nothing.'
The books aren't horror at all.

The Homelanders is fighting Islamic extremists that were going to attack.
Crazy Dangerous is a schizophrenic girl that sees things weirdly and it's hard to explain >.<
If We Survive is missionaries stuck in Central America and they're trying to get home and protect the civilians there.
Nightmare City is super strange at first because it's like the main character woke up in a ghost town, but it makes sense as the story goes. I don't want to give anything away.

Ahh, okay. Cause I don't like horror, but I don't mind spiritual warfare. I read House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker and it was pretty creepy. I'll definitely look into more of Andrew Klavans books because I loved The Homelanders! And sorry, but I have another question. Do any of his other books have innapropriate content? I wondered that too from the descriptions on the books.

I've read the Homelanders and If We Survive, I loved both.

What's your definition of inappropriate?

I read Swipe! It was amazing! I have read 2 out of the 4 books in the series! They are Christian and I highly recommend them!

OOooohhhh(; they sound wonderful!! I've been wanting to read them(:

Caitlyn. Anything with sexual content that's not appropriate for teens or young adults is innapropriate, also any suggestive explicit themes. I don't mind if it has an edgy subject, as long as it's handled with a godly perspective and doesn't go into detail.

Those books do sound really good btw, I just want to be careful. :)

Oh sorry guys!! I was only replying to Avery Joy.. I have no idea wat the other books are. Lol. But I agree with Tamara.

I love the Swipe series!! You really should read them.

YESSS! Swipe is amazing! I need to get the 3rd from the library!

I'm currently reading Killing Christians: Living the Faith Where It's Not Safe to Believe

Haha(; I need to!!
And wow Matt that sounds interesting!!
How are you liking it?

It's a hard read, like using the Voice of the Martyrs devotion. Shows how the believers in some places really need prayer.

Wow!! I hear ya about the hard read though. Many devotions I have seen are very hard. But of course it sounds like a good one(;
Keep us updated on how its going.

Amazing=Entwined by Heather Dixon. It is a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and is one of my favorite books!!

Hhaha!!! Cool Haley!!!

Alright, then they're all fine.

You should be okay with my The Fractured Earth and others in the series then. I like the genre but not the language and such that usually goes with it. Hopefully others will feel that way and like the series.

Okay, I'll look into them then! :)

Books by Melody Carlson. She writes christian books. They all have important lessons in them.

Really! I will definitely have to look into those(;

I want to read:
We Hear the Dead
Death by Toilet Paper (awful title, interesting premise)

Haha. Really! Those sound intrigueing though(;
I will look into those:D

Really enjoying The Divine Nature of Music !! Fantastic read on how the theory and science of music can prove the existence of God! Some fantastic "divine parallels" between music and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Strongly recommend. New video discussion on book too: https://youtu.be/gwfSg2QD5RU

Oh wow! Thanks!! That looks very thought provoking!! (:

Thanks for your kind reply, Mary Kate!

Always(:

Have any of y'all read anything by Wanda L. Dyson? I wondered because a friend loaned me a couple of her books, but I've never heard of her so I don't know if they're really any good or not...

Oh sorry. I haven't):

I started one of hers last night... Kinda weird and creepy. Surprised I got any sleep last night because I didn't want to stop reading. But I was too tired to fight sleep. ;P

Hahaha wow really!! Sounds interesting!!(; Keep me updated on how it is!!(: What's it about?

It's about a serial killer who is kidnapping & killing little girls. The head detective on the case is forced by his superior to bring in a psychic to help them find the girls (dead or alive).
It's... captivating to be sure.

Oh wow! I don't know if that's my kind of book *scared face* Lol But it does sound interesting(:

Yeah... I'm not sure it's my kind of book either..... The tag on the front cover sounded interesting, though. It says: "Where is God when nightmares come true?" We'll see how it goes, I guess.

Haha. gotcha! That would've intrigued me too :P
Haha(: Yea maybe it'll go good!!

@MK- Well, I finished that book: Abduction by Wanda L. Dyson
You can see my review of it here if you want: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Yay! Wow you are fast!!! *shocked face* Haha
I will read your review soon(:
Thank you (:

Hm... Took me 3 days, not all that fast for me. I really think I could have finished it in one day if I'd had the time to just sit & read. ;)
I thought about moving on to the second book, but I think I need a break before I do that-- maybe read something happy & light-hearted. ;P

My school participates in a program called AR. Basically, you take quizzes on books and get points for a grade.
My latest read was worth 9 (Changeling)

Hahaha Aery!! Wow you are even faster then :P
Ohhh that is so cool Raevyn!! I bet that's a lot of fun!!!(:

Thanks. :)

I'm reading Dairy Queen. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty good.
