    I just went into my Amazon digital account to look for the next book I'm going to read and see that I have 1544 books. :) I'd say I purchased less than a dozen of those. LOVE free books!

    OK - So I'm torn between An Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Butterfield or Running on Empty: The Gospel for Women in Ministry by Barbara Bancroft. Or maybe Tim Keller's Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God.

    Choices, choices!!

    Very popular book, but easlly way too much into self esteem/confidence/new way thinking!

    The book was published in 1936 - hardly "new way of thinking"

    The basic concepts behind it it were "chritianized" by Robert Schuller in His self esteem Gospel.

    How amazing Schullr was allowed all these years to teach his false Gospel message, and his teacing spawned the Joel Osteens ofhe world!

    Just because someone took something and made it into something it's not doesn't mean the original was bad. It's like saying because Jehovah's Witnesses took the Bible and made it a cult makes the Bible bad. Just doesn't work that way.

    True, but Dr Schuller Theology was rotten to its core, so any spawmed of that would be also?

    Some have said that the book "How to win Friends..." is a bunch of garbage.
    Part of the reasoning is that is that its about self-esteem

    Well, so many people say "I can't do it." Sometimes we need a positive attitude to help us.
    Even Christians will have a negative attitude. All Bible believing colleges and universities have secular books in their libraries. And it would NOT surprise me if these same schools had said book in their library.

    They have books in their library for research purposes. This does not mean that they teach from these books.

    There is a BIG differene between notbeating yourself up and wht Schuller an Olsten preach!
    They would say our biggest problem is that we see ourselves too badly, do not realise just how good we really are!

    My pastor has books on Mormons and JW in his library, and does not preach from them!
