Books Worth A Read?
« on: February 21, 2005, 07:03:38 AM »
I was in the Libairy just this morning and I'm not a big reader but I like to study abit about life & the meaning of things. So I picked up a book from Mitch Albom called "The 5 Persons You Meet In Heaven", it kinda explains that Heaven isnt a place, its an answer, I like this book but I'm curious which books are also worth it to give it a read in your opinion..

Thanks, Dieter.

1.  The Noble Qu'ran- by Allah- This is the supreme book of giudance for Muslims, Allah tells us in the Qu'ran that this book is a confirmation of what has came before it (the Gospel, The Torah, messages of all the prophets of the past), it offers an analysis on all things, and it is a giudance and a mercy to the believers.

2.  The Autobiography of Malcolm X- by Alex Haley-  From criminal thug, to black nationalist, to World renowned Muslim leader and martyr.

3.   Soul On Ice- by Eldridge Cleaver-  Basically this guy was just a thug and a rapist, then one day a prison gaurd ripped down the posters in his prison cell of white women, and told him that he'd only allow him to put up posters of black women.  He then realized he worshipped white women and wouldn't put up a picture of a black women, this thought angered and perplexed him, so he set out on a quest for knowledge to understand why he felt as he did.

4.   Makes Me Wanna Holler-  by Nathan McCall-  Another street thug turned intellectual type biography

5.  The Native Son- by Richard Wright-   My favorite fiction book, deals with communism and racism.

6.  The Celestine Prophecies- by James Redfield-  This book opened up the door to my spiritual quest almost 5 years ago, and it also taught me how to deal with others and experience life.

That is a very good book to read.  This might be off-topic of what you like to read, but The DaVinci Code (even though I disagree with it) makes some very good points about Christ.

why does that not surprise that this is your recomendation.

iraq would just get annexed by iran


That would be a great solution.  If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?
