Another Interesting & Useful Site

 I really ought to post a list of some of the best Bible and Christian-related sites I know of. Maybe I already have? I will have to check. At any rate, I want to add the Carm.org site.

CARM - Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry - is a great resource for Christians and non-Christians alike. I am sure that non-Christians would find the section "Bible Difficulties" of interest. It covers topics with supposed "contradictions". Very interesting! Because every thinking person will have questions.

Under the section "Christian Theology", one will find a subsection of "Answers for Seekers". Another great resource for seekers and Christian friends of seekers.

The 2 sections I find myself gravitating to most are "Questions" and "World Religions". These are really useful when studying what other people believe or are involved in. It always helps to understand the people we are praying for.

So do check out CARM. 

I'm going to have to see if I have put together a resource list!

**BOOKS** November December 2021

NOTE: I don't know how often I will update these posts, but I wanted to start sharing books that I find especially good for the Christian reader.

To start off, here are some I have read in the past few months. By the way, I include Amazon links because that's where I get most of my books because they have good and cheap copies available used. You can also find a lot of them at Christianbook.com. All of these are available to listen to for free on my library's audiobook site. Check your library and see if you can find them in audio or ebook format.

• The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between (by Gregory Koukl) I have raved about this to family and friends because of the readability and clarity. I tell people that this is a book for anyone with questions about Christianity or faith in Christianity. The next book is by the same author so you can tell I like his writing style.
  
• Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions (by Gregory Koukl). I found that this one is very useful for someone like me: timid but anxious to share and/or defend my faith. Again, very readable.

• 
  Unparalleled: How Christianity's Uniqueness Makes It Compelling (by Jared C. Wilson). This has become my favorite book to gift to people who are considering Christianity but have questions. 

• Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices (by Frank Viola & George Barna). This one is (because I am still listening to my library copy) a bit mindblowing for me. It reinforces many of the personal thoughts I've had about church practices and addresses so many questions - why and what for - but never knew there was a book to delve into the answers.  I added a Preview link to this one on the blog sidebar. I will leave it up for a while so folks can have a peek at the book contents.

I may already have talked about some of these books here before. Never hurts to reiterate.

By the way, some people don't know if their local library has audiobook available. Check via the Overdrive, Libby, and Hoopla apps. Those are the ones used by my library. 

Peace
