    I agree, the Bible's the greatest :) The book "Reflections on the Life of Christ" is a pretty good book although I haven't finished it. It speaks of all the tribes at first and gives a great amount of reasons why Christ came down and why that period in time and it's a really good book. I believe there's a book called "The Good Human Being" by HH Pope Shenouda. I read a part of it and it was amazing. There's many other books I haven't read but heard were good. God bless.

    Actually, a while back I was on the Barnes and Nobles site and there was a few Coptic Orthodox books to my surprise. Most churches have book stores so that's the main source. God bless.
  • danydany
    cause now u got me all interested in reading a book like that aside from the bible, it seems like it's a good way to reinforce what we read in the bible, like things to think about or ways we should act towards certain situations etc etc...
  • Copt4LifeCopt4Life
    Life on the Edge by Doctor James Dobson... or any Josh Harris Book... such as "More than a Carpenter" and "I kissed dating goodbye"...they're entertaining and beneficiall.... I RECOMMEND EM! ...p.s. the way of the pilgrim is TOPS too...its by a Russian Orthodox Monk...real good!
  • jfranklinjfranklin

    Two of my FAVORITE books:

    Paradise of the fathers
    The release of the spirit by H.H. Pope Shenouda.

    For those of you who never heard of the first, it is the collection of wisdom thru stories about the Coptic church fathers, thier lives, their sayings, etc...

    Second book is better read in Arabic, they didn't do it justice in translation.

    There are many others, but those my my favorite

    One of the books that I've read that I really liked was "Islam Unveiled". I thought it was really informative.

  • jfranklinjfranklin

    .. umm naa i havent heard of her... but if thats a recommendation J, then ill check her out

    Yes,I highly recommend her music.I forgot to mention she has several books for girls and women.They say it's pretty good stuff...lol...She's famous{besides her music of course}for her message of sexual purity.Of keeping your body pure,saving yourself for marriage.She practices what she preaches.She's originally from Australia....a very godly christian woman....If only I could marry her...lol...oh well... ;D...just kidding.

    Seriously, if your interested she has a website at RSJAMES.COM.You can find sample clips of her music and other good stuff. :)
