I haven't read it.  I have heard it's very good though.  It's by C.S. Lewis and is a parody-like book about a demon named Screwtape who writes to his cousin Wormwood about how to tempt Christians.  It's a pretty creative way of writing about temptations Christians have and I've always been interested in reading it since I first heard about it.\n\nFor a good synopsis of the book you can go to the book's website page on what it's about here:\n\nhttp://www.biblestudyinfo.com/screwtape/synopsis.shtml

Good book.  \n\n"At the same time, she takes white paper and glues it over the inside cover of the children's books, hiding the table that showed that the books used to be used by white students and were now issued to "nigras."\n\n They were so excited because they had an opportunity to read books only allowed for whites.

I read that book about a million times when I was a kid. I think it was written in the seventies? But I loved it, and it will always ring true, no matter what time you're growing up in. You should look up more of Judy Blume's books. I love them all.

The book is actually called "Behold a Pale Horse."  You can buy it at any major bookstore, and probably some not-so-major ones as well.  It was written by someone in the intel community from what I recall.  I'm not sure, though, as it has been a long time since I saw the book.

Very Insightful. Seriously I loved the series. Check out his book "God and the Evolving Universe" another great one. I forget who co-wrote it with him. I try to live with what I learn from reading different concepts and other peoples truths. This set of books has given me so many good lessons. The main thing I took away from it was a totally new way to interact with my children. I see them more as equals now than before. They have taught me many things that have made my life better. I think if people can use what they read in these books then it would be a really good thing for the world. \nLove & Light\nOne Planet = One People

This was my absolute favorite book growing up, I read it more than 20 times.\n\n1. It is ironic that Johnny and Ponyboy were involved in a murder because they weren't the ones who usually caused trouble.  They were minding their own business and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.\n\n2. Ponyboy had a problem cutting and dying his hair because hair was a major characteristic for 'greasers'.  It was something that distinguished them from the rest of the crowd.

There are many aspects of the book that might prove interesting to debate. One of the most controversial items that the book brings forth is the question of whether Jesus was married and had children. It has NEVER been church doctrine, that such was the case. However, some members and a few leaders back in the early days of the church have speculated on the subject of marriage. In the end, since we do not know, it remains, just that, speculation. \n\nOne of the biggest problems that I, personally, have with the book is that, in the end, Brown's theory seems to be more about Jesus being human rather than divine. I completely disagree with this viewpoint. Members of our church are generally well read. I can't see this book affecting the faith of anyone who has taken the gospel seriously. \n\nDespite Brown's claim that everything is "accurate," people seem to be forgetting that it is just a clever and somewhat interesting piece of entertainment. There may be bits of truth in it, just as in other fictional novels, yet it is still just a work of fiction. \n\nMany religious groups seem to be overly concerned about this book's message or impact. I am of the opinion that while the book may cause some few to doubt, there will be others who may actually start reading the scriptures to find out just what they say. Opposition is not a bad thing. Many people may find their faith strengthened as a result of all of this religious fervor. Is that such a bad thing?\n\nThis is just one "mormon's" opinion on the matter.

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

I'm reading this book right now\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0452285259&itm=1\n\nI just got it, so I haven't read too far, but so far it's very interesting and easy to understand.  Here's some others on my list\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0195142373&itm=2\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=019514743X&itm=5\n\nI would look on ebay or half.com, or even your library, first.\n\nI also think game theory and number theory are interesting topics, so if you or anyone else has a recommendation for those, please let me know :)\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI forgot this one, it's on my list, too\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?z=y&pwb=1&ean=9780691058542\n\nAnd I agree, good for you for expanding your horizons.

I will confess that I have not read Brian McLaren's book "A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey", although I did read the summary and some reviews on Amazon. I think that is enough to give me something to comment on. \n\n1. It sounds accessible to me. However, as a scientist myself, it sounds a bit over-simplified.\n\n2. When you ask about the church, it strikes me that "the church" is not at all monolithic, and that is part of the problem. It is fractured into literally thousands of quarrelling sects and cults. \n\n3. I have to admit I have been startled over and over at the attitudes I have found in American churches; incredibly inflexible and dogmatic and angry. And often very igorant of their own faith.\n\n4. I think it would be very healthy for American churches to move in this sort of direction. I do not think that they will. It does not sit well with the American psyche, or American culture, which is an angry culture and a culture of extremes. The US is like an adolescent, and is prone to temper tantrums, and it likes its religion like that as well. \n\n5. Although the book does not sound like it has much meat in it, I still think it makes some good points. \n\n6. Predictably, the noses of many of the American reviewers of the book on Amazon.com were put out of joint.

I have never heard of this idea that the cow is their mother before. It is a very strange statement, can you give a reference to this or is it just something you made up?
