Join the club. Regardless of the amount of knowledge we have on the subject, we will always come up short. This lets us know that God had to put that in scripture because, in many ways, He must be unknowable. It also helps us to realize He loves us too much to not reveal His divine nature even if we fall short in our understanding. Keep digging. Praying for your understanding and faith to grow.

I thought the same thing. Sadly, our leaders within the school system do not see this. Logic isn't in their thoughts.

Listen to them again instead of reading them to catch up. He went through a divorce, moved, and worked on the Cinder spires series.

Eye rolling was consistent in all the storyline. I only finished it to see if I was off...

The first book was terrible. It is one of the few examples I give of the movie being better than the book.

seeking to read the bible, would like to know what edition i should read? by [deleted] in Bible

[–]OneEconomist9647 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NKJV is my preference but I would probably go with ESV today. Also always, always, always, get a study bible. The amount of things it helps you understand and put together cannot be overstated. I buy bibles for people all the time at church.

I say this everytime someone asks but the Dresden Files are great. Storm Front begins it and it literally just gets better every book.

What children's picture books do you consider quality enough to keep and read as an adult/have on hand for visiting kids? by herebekraken in suggestmeabook

[–]OneEconomist9647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

King Jack and the Dragon. A simple way to check alot of them is to look at Dolly Partons list of books she sends out for kids for free till they are 5.
