So I went to the library today, and got a ton of books on religion, faith, and helping others through tough times. studying up, I guess you could say. I have so much to learn still, and reading is just the first step. I also have decided to read through the entire bible by the time I graduate, starting today. That's pretty much a book every 5 days. Though there are some really short books like Song of Solomon, but then there are the REALLY long books, like Psalms and Proverbs. I'm splitting up Psalms and Proverbs, and I'll read a few each day along with the other book that I am reading, so I don't have 5 days to get all the way through the dozens of Psalms. But anyway, that's my goal. If anyone is interested in doing it with me, feel free to tell me, I would love to fill you in :]
So the first BOOK book I am reading is "What Have You Got To Lose? [experience a richer life by letting go of the things that confuse, clutter, and contaminate]" by Stephen Arterburn. It looks really good, and I've been told he is an excellent author. I also have a bunch by T.D. Jakes, like "God's Leading Lady" and "Woman, thou art Loosed!" I also have one by Robert H. Schuller, who I've heard is a really bad author, but the book sounded really good. I got a few by Leslie Ludy, Debby Jones, and a few others that just sounded like ones that would help me help others while continuing to heal myself. I'm very pleased with my selection. I left the library with a total of 8 books, with a bunch more in mind that I will get as soon as I finish these.
Oh ya, and I also got Religion for Dummies.
:]
Well I'm going to go start the first one, hopefully finish it today so I can get all these books done and get my bible study in by the end of next week. That's my goal, anyway.
oh oh, and random fact of the day.
Did you know that the Bible is the book that is most sold and most stolen in the United States? that cracks me up. i mean technically it's a good thing; even if it's being stolen, at least it's getting out. But it is also one of the least READ books. 90% of homes have a bible, but very few of those people actually READ them,
it's sad
if you have a bible, go pick it up, flip to revelation. it's my favorite book, and it's also amazing. or read john. that one's good too :]
