read between the lines
noteworthy i just bought a book yesterday called making today count for eternity, which is an extremely rare feat for me, because never in so many years has a christian book ever appealed to me enough to warrant buying it (or if it has, it costs too much). sure, it was on offer, but the fact is, what i read as i skimmed through the pages interested me enough to purchase it.hopefully that's a start of something good for me. admittedly what's on the christian section shelves these days seem, at first glance, rather dry to me and i take quite awhile to "get into it". usually (not always, but usually) reading the first few pages is a drag until the middle of the book, where my interest piques. i didn't always feel like this though. there was a point in time in 2000 when a new discreetly christian bookstore opened which had a stash of contemporary books and cds that really aroused my interest in this area. speaking of which, i dropped by the place last month and to my dismay, whatever that was christian of it has been totally wiped out and the shoplot has even been downgraded to a smaller area by far. |
