i am sure i read somewhere he is suing Dan Brown, claiming Dan Brown copied his work and did little modification. Probably abt $$$ issues since Da Vinci code is a best seller now.

his book "holy blood holy grail" "messanic legacy" i have flipped thru b4....info like cathars being persecuted etc can all be found inside.....i think by choosing this book as his research, Dan Brown has little credibility (dun think he can say based on historical facts as even the weird guy author had said in the interview :When I write i write as "Pple said" "it was said"......)

Dan Brown's research mostly based on urban legends i believe....a mixture of true and half trues make his fictional book a bestseller....pple are always interested in conspiracy theories and care little abt the truth...that's why tabloids sell fast earn big $$$

I do sell some Christian books on my online bookstore (please check my profile for the website link), however these get sold out really fast - if anyone is interested, I still do have a few books available (under Non Fiction/Spiritual).

I am currently reading Streams In The Desert, by L.B. Cowman - I am keeping this beautiful book for myself and my other half. I am just starting to know God and Christianity better, & this book is simply amazing and inspirational. I think the author wrote this in 1925 when she was tending to her dying husband. Very beautiful words which keep me going, especially on hard days when i feel in despair at life's difficulties and just wanna break down weeping, I whip this out, and it pushes me on to be strong, be brave and forge head Smile

Get the Hardcover edition, it's been updated and revised - contains 366 daily devotional readings. Even though it's a little bulky for my overseas travelling, I'm keeping this copy as my faithful companion Smile

Give Thanks SG

One book i strongly recommend...IN THE GRIP OF GRACE by Max Lucado. It is one of the most practical and powerful Christian books written....IMHO....the grace of God is not simply one of the topics in Christianity....it is the basis, a fundamental even, on the whole message of Jesus and the Cross...and this book has been written succinctly and beautifully on the wonderful love of God. And the author has written it in a fun-to-read manner....very refreshing!

After reading this book, i gained a deeper understanding of the Gospel and fell deeper in love with Him....coz He first loved us!

But somehow, this book is not readily available....try looking around though...

Cheers

Have to agree, Max Lucado is a very good writer... try searching on ebay, you may turn up a copy or two.

Also like I said in my earlier post, And God Came Near... also by Max Lucado...
