I just found Biblos.com this morning as I was looking up a verse in Colossians, and was really impressed to be able to see so many different translations (and languages) on one page in an easily readable fashion. I thought I'd share it here since we all are at varying stages of study and thought to do with Christianity and it never hurts to have some extra tools around for investigating it's primary source material! I also have a few tidbits from current reading that I thought might be good for some thought or a smile, or whatever (emphasis formating is my own):

Mary, George MacDonald is one of my favorite Christian authors! Thanks for the quotes! Susan | ||

Mary, great quotes! Thank you so much! I "discovered" MacDonald about seven years ago...I had previously had no idea that he had influenced C.S. Lewis. (But what did I actually know about most Christian authors and thinkers in my "past"?!) Colleen | ||

ha! Colleen, that makes me think of the fact that I didn't know there were ANY great writers other than Ellen  Imagine my surprise when I discovered Spurgeon, Calvin, Luther. And now back to the subject. Mary...I must say you stretch my mind. That's good, I think. I'll let you know when I figure out what the quotes mean.  Patria | ||

It is amazing to find so many great authors. Patria, I'll be waiting to hear! (they stretch my mind too. That may be why I like them!) Mary | ||

I keep expanding my list of great authors. Three that I've recently found are: Alexander Maclaren who wrote a 17 volume exposition of the Bible, along with many individual books. George G. Findlay, a great expositor who was well known in the late 1800's. A.W. Pink, you can find many of his writings online at the ccel.org site. Have any of you read Alfred Edersheims book on the Jewish temple at the time of Christ? It's online at www.ccel.org That temple was one of the wonders of the world and after reading this book you'll know why! | ||

I, too, have recently discovered a good author...Andrew Murray. He was evidently a contemporary of Ellen White. I also recently discovered a wonderful website...www.librivox.org. You can listen to many audio books, the recordings of which are all done by volunteers. It's FREE to download them. Here's a link to "Absolute Surrender and Other Addresses," by Andrew Murray. http://librivox.org/absolute-surrender-by-andrew-murray/ It's read by a woman named Joy Chan, who has a delightful British accent.

Awesome HonestWitness! I've read one of Andrew Murray's books, but am glad to see the link to more of his material. His writings are very challenging to my thought processes . . . in a good way. Blessings, Mary |
