the History of Astrology, by Zolar.

Seriously.

It's just a simple survey book, I'm studying the ancient Chaldeans. Anybody want me to read their palm? :laugh:

 

Our church's worship team leader recently left her position to pursue other interests and the call of God. The team members put on a going-away luncheon for her and afterwards, she personally presented a copy of this book as a thank you to each and every member on the team. My hubby (part of the team) hasn't had the opportunity to read it as yet because of his own time commitments, so I'm temporarily 'stealing' it while I can. I've heard that it's a great read and I'm looking forward to enjoying.

 

John's Story The Last Eyewittness. LayHaye&Jenkins

 

For a week, once or twice a year my co-worker has a temporary fill in for him while he vacations.
Each time she visits, we share some of the books we have read.
I gave her a copy of the The Shack last week.

It makes a great gift but you'll have to have tissues handy.

Ussher's Annals of the World. I finally found it for less than $50.00 (not that it wasn't worth $50.00, but I didn't have it at the time, you see).

 

I know you were just joking but as a former professional astrologer (before being saved), I have to say that astrologers do not read palms. Both astrology and palm reading are divination but are different. Astrology is actually very complicated - a lot more than people realize - which is one reason many are attracted to it.

I guess one reason I am posting is that many Christians dismiss the occult as silly and fail to realize how many people are caught up in it and damaged by it.

Also, there are many different views and disputes about the history of astrology. Some things are known but many are not as astrology was practiced before anything much was written about it.

Check out my website at www.christiananswersforthenewage.org to read more about this stuff - or my book, SpellBound: The Paranormal Seduction of Today's Kids, which covers these topics. :wavey:

 

"The Shack" by William P. Young :: books, emergent, reviews, theology :: A Ref

Deacon, please look at this review of The Shack (it's at challies.com).
He has a completely different view than you seem to.

good book.

 

Just finished reading The Shack, I am reading He Loves Me again, and also started reading Reimagining Church.

 

(Reflections of) an American Idiot by R F Koustas, yes he is related, he's my brother. yes, it is an autobiography of sorts. This book made me laugh...and made my cry. if you can get past the table of contents...it is a very entertaining read...I give this book 4 thumbs up:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

Now I'm on to "The Forgotten Ways" by Alan Hirsch.

He has learned some great church planting lessons from his church is Melbourne, Australia. Good book.

 

Old Testament Theology, Volume One
Israel's Gospel
by John Goldingay (2003) 940 pages!

 

Just started 'Spiritual Leadership' J Oswald Sanders, a gift/loan from my Pastor.

Also if I'm allowed to count Books on CD... 'The Word of Promise, New Testament, NKJV' read by 120 some odd voice actors,with sound effects.. WAY Cool! I had been wanting a replacement for my 'bible on tape' for a couple years, when I saw this for 24bucks at Wally World I couldn't resist.

 

The Bourne Legacy
by Eric Van Lustbader

I thought this quote was interesting:

 

The Lords of Discipline: I watched the movie years ago but I am finding the book to be much better.

 

At first galnce I thought you said "The Lords Of Flatbrush" which starred Sly Stallone!

 

I just started reading The Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan. So far, so good! I think I'm going to enjoy this book, and should give me a little bit of familiarity with the basics of economy.

Also, reading God's Problem by Bart Erhman. I'm not to smart, and I've already been able to find a lot of errors in the arguments of liberals like Erhman against God's Word. It's a challenging book, but his case if way too overstated.

I've been hearing a lot about J Oswald Sanders, I may have to check that out...
