For English 2 summer reading I am getting a head start and reading into thin air by John krauker. Good book, don't like some of the language in it.

If you like Into Thin Air, I would also recommend Mawson's Will by Leonard Bickel...if you can find a copy.

Let's see...my wife read The Harbinger and told me I had to read it...so I did and just finished it. A good book, though it did raise some questions with me. I'm getting ready to start Decision in Philadelphia, dealing with the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. In the Scriptures, I'm reading the Psalms. It used to bore me to "plow" through, but the praises grab me now more than they ever have.

Anybody reading "The Final Pope is Here: Petrus Romanus" by Tom Horn & Cris Putnam?

Eye opening to say the least--my worldview about a lot of things have been shaken.

I haven't read it, but I thought this portion of an Amazon Book Reviewer's comment was interesting:

"The glaring 'achilles heel', in 'Petrus Romanos' is, to me twofold: (1. all the 'prophetic eggs' for the book stem from an extra-biblical 'prophecy' or 'vision' which is, at the very least questionable, made by an Iris Catholic monk over 800 years ago! From my viewpoint, the authors spend WAY too much time and effort attempting to validate this 'prophecy' (which as I mentioned may be little more than apocryphal 'folklore') in an attempt to give some weight and merit to their book." - Amazon Book Reviewer

A hardcover book--
This book "So help me God" by Roy Moore covers the gamit from his salvation on page 1o to his 1st date,marriage,lotsa pictures of his youth,parent dying and of course an in depth detailed account of what really happenned during his battle with the 10 Commandments and having it sit by itself for all to see and ponder.

Here are some quotes from the book:

When the acknowledgement of God is removed from public life,life itself is not defined as a gift of God,but it begins when the government says it does.

Since man,s law must be based on God,s law,it cannot contradict God,s law.

I have lived a long time (Ben Franklin) and the longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God governs in the affairs of men,and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice,is is probable that an empire can rise without His aid??

God is not finished with our country yet,the United States was a special nation founded on the laws of God,and not just any God.We were not founded on the faith of buddah,or the hindu faith or the faith of Islam,but on the faith of Jesus Christ.

A just law( Dr.King) is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.

They are saying you can acknowledge God only so long as you do it in the manner in which the federal courts say that it can be done.

If the 10 Commandments are removed it will be because they are "too religious,but if they are permitted to stay it will be because they are "historical"and have little or no religious value.You can never reach the right result when you start from the wrong premise.

The irony of this battle is that Roy Moore declaired the 10 Commandments to be special and not to be surrounded by other distracting historical documents.The government was saying in effect worship God is ok but add him to the other things we worship not set apart as this brave believer did.Many other displays of God are allowed by the government and the aclu because they mix spiritual with secular--this is dead wrong.

This man is today an active speaker on tour in churches and crowds and has founded "The foundation of moral Law"that can be found on facebook and on the net

They do dwell on it, but not to the extent that the above reviewer states IMO. It's a highly researched work that explains dozens of different people's theories regarding "the prophecy" over centuries. It also flash-forwards to todays news headlines and shows there are many within the Vatican actually vying for the spot of Petrus Romanus believe it or not. The web of deceit & vengence is also at an unreal level within the Vatican walls. There are also about a dozen other "prophecies" they detail regarding 2012 (not only the Mayan). I don't think the scenario's they discuss are so anymore.

Just finished "The Harbinger" and am now reading "The Tehran Initiative". Both excellent!

I'm about a third of the way through it right now though some parts are pretty heavy going. Also some of it was info covered in Apollyon Rising.

Working on "The Long Road Home" by Susan Gregersen. She's a really good author.

Is it okay to list three books, if we are actually working on all three? Just last evening, I started A.W. Tozer's 'The Pursuit of God,' an outstanding book that I definitely recommend. Anything by Tozer is usually quite good. Earlier in the week, I've begun reading a book by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne about preventing and reversing heart disease with a plant-based diet. The third book, The China Study, is by Dr. Colin Campbell, who, along with Dr. Esselstyne, appeared in the documentary, 'Forks Over Knives.'

Does anyone recommend The Harbinger to read???

[Lynn]

There is an excellent review of The Harbinger in this month's The Berean Call newsletter: http://www.thebereancall.org/content...al-discernment
You won't be misled by Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon. Very solid biblically.

I will simply suggest taking a look at the Portal page of RR. The Portal page is always good reading.

[iSong6:3]

Thanks, iSong6:3! I actually read the thread here on RR, and that's what inspired me to read the book.
I can't recommend this book enough!

Same here. I will never look at the RCC the same way again. Wow a real eye opener and the history of the Popes presented in this book is very detailed. Cris Putnum put a lot of time and research years into this book and I recommend it. Whether the papal prophesy is accurate or not remains to be seen but the book is worth the read just for the papal history and up to date now with present day Vatican conspiracy/events now unfolding in Rome with Pope Benedict XVI.

While my 12yo granddaughter is in Europe with her other grandparents she lent me two of her absolute favourite books. They are part of a trilogy written by Trenton Lee Stewart called The Mysterious Benedict Society, The Myst. Ben. Soc. and the Perilous Journey and the third one ... and the Prisioners Dilemma. In the first a peculiar ad appears in the newspaper that says "Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities" - who wouldn't respond to that and when dozens apply only four are chosen after a series of mind-bending tests. Turns out the children had to have been orphaned or alone in some way to undertake a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete.

Although written for children, the author has not written *down* to children and if you are in a library some day and have fond memories of loved childhood books, you may well enjoy these.

Also just finished John by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins in the Jesus Chronicles and about to start Mark.

Recently read The Harbinger and quite apart from what I thought of the premise covered, I didn't enjoy the writing style.

Poppycat, your post made me curious about these books by Trenton Lee Stewart, so I did a bit of looking around and decided to order the set of all three. Apparently, many others have enjoyed them as well, and I look forward to having some good books to read while I'm recovering next month from a 'procedure.'
Thanks for the recommendation.

You're welcome Lynn, hope you enjoy them. Not too taxing a read while recovering but just complicated enough to keep you interested. Another novel I would choose to read while convalescing is The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. Have you ever read it? I found the oriental way of layered thinking facinating and often layed it down to think about what I'd just read. So full of symbolism and the movie of the same name focuses on this.

Will keep your 'procedure' in mind next month.
