Book Notes: April 5, 2023 - Christian Religion

 Welcome! I'm glad you're here. In today's post, I want to share a couple of books on religious topics. My husband and I read these two aloud together. I hope you'll want to give them a try, whether you are wanting to know more about the Christian life and belief, or if you're goal is to deepen your own walk in faith. 

Book Notes: Are People Basically Good? by R.C. Sproul

Are People Basically Good? by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Written Well and Thorough

This short booklet was very well done, easy to understand, and filled with pertinent information backed up with scripture. If you're looking for something to read on the Christian faith, this would perhaps be a good book for you.

Book Notes: What is Repentance? by R.C. Sproul

What Is Repentance? by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent Study on a Necessary Topic

Repentance is something we aren't hearing much about in many churches today, yet it's so important in a Christian's life. I highly recommend this short booklet if you'd like to have a better understanding of repentance. It's clear, thorough, and doesn't take too much time to read.

These books, or booklets really, are from a collection called Crucial Questions and are intended to provide clear, concise answers to many of the questions people have about the Christian faith. They serve the purpose well. And Dr. Sproul doesn't sugar-coat anything, which I like. Give it to me straight, you know? I like this author's credentials, and his integrity. His own story is pretty neat, though you won't find anything but bits and pieces of it in these books. As I said, he keeps to his topic well. 

Just Keep Writing: Wednesday Whimsy

If this is your first time participating in this kind of writing exercise, you're in for a treat. If you've done this with me before, just keep scrolling for the prompt.

Rules:

1. You can use any/all of the words and/or the photo in the prompt below to create a unique written work. Fiction or nonfiction, poetry or prose, even lyrics are acceptable.  
2. Please keep the material you write clean (ie. nothing R-rated or worse) if you wish to share the link to your work here, as well as if you link back to my site. I strive to keep my site free of such things. My readers know and expect this. I respect your right to write whatever you feel you need to write. And you're free to use my prompts. But if your material is graphic, I'd rather not view it, and most of my readers will not wish to. 
3. Have fun! This type of exercise is perfect for growing in the writing craft, or for helping through a rough patch in your current WIP. If you're looking to push your author limits and you normally write in nonfiction prose, try a whimsical collection of lyrics. If you normally write poems about real life events, try your hand at a fanfic. Give yourself some room to explore.

Don't forget to leave a link to your creation (unless you're writing graphic material) so my readers and I can check out your work. I'd appreciate a link back to this post to help me reach more readers, but it's not required. 

I hope you find these words helpful in your writing exercises. 

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time on the scenic route today. Your support and encouragement mean a lot to me. I hope you found something new to add to your TBR list. Maybe it was the prompt you came for, though. If so, don't forget to share a link to your work in the comments (as long as the work is clean). 

Tomorrow, I'll have another word prompt to share with you. Hope to see you then!

Until next time,
