@Daeus soooo… I read Cry the Beloved Country. I absolutely loved it. It’s a really unique book— not just the odd original punctuation, but the style, and the relative flatness of the plot, and yet it’s such a stirring book. It’s like reading a poem or something. 😀 Also it was a thinking book, not a preaching book, which I love for obvious…[Read more]

@Daeus yes. Much better. I agree with @Jess that that sentence still seems to be having trouble— perhaps because all subjects of that sentence are not necessarily in the same categorical thought-family, if you know what I mean?— but otherwise I love it.

Ok, @kate-flournoy @emma-flournoy @dragon-snapper @ingrid @hope @jess @mark-kamibaya @his-instrument @anyone-else

Here’s take three. Tell me what you think.

Matthew is sworn to avenge a murder. His dedication to his wronged family is powerful enough to bring him through any trial, but his youth and inexperience hold him back. Setting out to find…[Read more]

@Audrey-Caylin not at all. I’m guessing this is probably something we all go through at one point or another. Glad I was in a position to help. 🙂

@Audrey-Caylin Awesome you showed up. (Though we don’t give trophies for that. I’m sure you’re fine without one.) And I have to be the first to welcome you to the bestistest place on the internet.

I know what you mean how the articles seem a little anti explicit Christianity in fiction. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the authors’ intents, but…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton *bows* Happy to be of service. 😉

Hello @Audrey-Caylin! So great to have you here!

And this is an awesome discussion. It never really gets old. ‘Christian fiction’ can actually be a pretty broad category depending on your perspective and definition, but I’ll do my best to give the short answer that pretty much sums it all up for me, otherwise we’d be stuck here until we turned…[Read more]

@Ethryndal yes, I’ll pray. I know it’s hard having to work family around difficult health issues.

@Christi-Eaton yes. I don’t think there was a single thing about it I disliked. The one thing I was a little miffed on for The Force Awakens was that the plot was basically ‘destroy this huge weapon that is blowing up entire planets’ which was pretty much the plot of A New Hope, but the plot for Rogue One was perfect. And perfectly executed. And…[Read more]

@Christi-Eaton yes! I know! I didn’t cry over it (for some reason I seem to have stopped crying about a year ago? 😛 ) but I was stumbling around in an emotional daze for the rest of the day. It was awesome.

Ha!

I don’t know, you do it @kate-flournoy. I only come up with the ideas.

I’m in. Where do we sign up to fund this thing? 😀

*lightbulb* New fad everybody! Forget adult coloring books, the new thing is adult picture books!

if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

@Daeus ha! Me too! 😀

@Daeus whoa! Easy there! It’s not that bad. 😛 And the forum doctor is not on call either, so settle down. I don’t want to have to be repairing fractured skulls on a moment’s notice. *shakes finger*

But I definitely recommend you definitely see this one as soon as definitely possible. 😀

I don’t like it when the illustrations look different from what I imagined them being, but I think I still like having the images even despite that. They’re generally at least close and if I get a book with illustrations, the first thing I do is go through at look at all the pictures.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGHHH!!! *bashes head against the wall*

I haven’t seen it yet. I think my health is declining. I might have to go to the ER if this keeps up.
