Books...
Other books, other books...Hmmm. Well, if you're a Christian young adult (12-13 up?) you might consider reading 'When God Writes Your Love Story' by Eric and Leslie Ludy, and 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' by Josh Harris, and the sequel to it 'Boy Meets Girl' by Josh Harris. Very Very Very good books!!!! Please be warned though, they are 'mature' books. Not explicit or gross - I would never read something like that! They are just not 'little kid' books. They deal with issues that children don't deal with. I would NOT read 'When God Writes Your Love Story' untill you're 12 at least, and that with discretion of parents, and I would wait to read 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' until 13-14ish, and 'Boy Meets Girl' probably 14. However, different people are ready for different things at different times. I'm just letting you know. 
'For Such A Time As This' is a great Christian book for older girls (12+?), too, by Lisa Ryan. It talks about being part of 'Generation Esther' and being a Christ-like girl. It's very good.
And more books? Well, when I was younger (10-11 down?) I really enjoyed the 'Mandie Books' by Lois Gladys Leppard. Christian mystery stories of a young girl 100 years ago or so. Very neat!!!
Another book I recently enjoyed very much was 'The Robe' by Lloyd C. Douglas. Awesome book about the Roman soldier who won Christ's robe when they threw the dice for it. (Remember the Bible Story?) It may sound dull, but it is absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!! He also wrote a few othe books including 'The Big Fisherman' and 'Magnificent Obsession'. I haven't read either yet, but 'The Big Fisherman' is about Peter (from the Bible), I know that. I personally think that 'The Robe' is enough to bring a non-Christian believer to Christ. 
Weeeee!!!
Anyway, enough said for now, I should go finish my schoolwork,

Hi!

I think my mom will give me 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye' and 'Girl Meets Boy' when I get a little older. She did that with all of my older brothers and sisters. I'll have to get 'When God Writes Your Love Story' soon. It must be really good because you keep suggesting it, :) lol.
Right now I am reading 'For Such A Time As This' for the second time. It is really good.
I've read some of those Mandie books too! About 15 of them or so. I really liked them. I could read 1or 2 of those a day.
I'll have to get 'The Robe' too. Next time my mom orders from the book store I'll ask her to get that and 'When God Writes Your Love Story'.
Thanks for the suggestions!
