If I could recomend any Christian book other than the Bible, it would probably be The Shack by William Young. Check the site out:[x]
If you've read the book, I want to hear what you think!

-My opinion-
I thought it was amazing. The Shack is one of the best books I've ever read, and I read alot. I even cried a few times. It's a very touching book, and I hope whoever reads it is touched also. =3

Yeah, I listened to it on CD when I went to my grandparents. I think that having the different voices helped me understand things a lot better. My favorite part has probably got to be when he is talking in the cave with Sophia and the incident directly afterwords.

Ha ha so i actually have a funny story that belongs on this threadthis happened about a year ago . So I was at small group (high school girls) and we were winding down from the night we'd had a bible study and had been chatting it was pretty late and i was sleppy so i was pretty spacey kinda in my own litle world when i heard the person next to me saying that the Holy spirit was a large Asian woman
(for those of you who've read the shak you know its the woman in the story who is the role of the Holy Spirit i of course was spacing out and had no idea they were talking about a book).
i kinda snapped out of it and im just like WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT. and everyone laughed at me and then explained to me it was a book but now its a big inside joke with everyone. =D

ok random storytime over. razz

Ooh! I'm going to save money to buy it then. Hehe.

Yeah, Heveanly Man. An autobiography of a Chinese Pastor. And with the word Chrinese, i think you has the idea already. He and his family, and his churchmates as well, and other Christians, are being persecuted and killed.
I think they still do this somewhere in China. You cannot make an assembly of Christians or even bring the Bible about. But his faith is just so incredible. They've inserted needles right under his nails (and we all know that's really really really ..ugh... OUCH.) but still he didn't rejected Christ. his story really inspires me.

I think they have something like the first church of china or something now. But it's completely run by the government so there are many underground churches still.
