However, I have a hard time reading Bible Historical Fiction....because after time passes, am I remembering what the Bible says about the incident, or am I remembering what was written in the book?. God is not the author of confusion, and I am often confused after reading Bible Historical Fiction, because I can't remember what was actual truth or what was fiction. Just my two cents from an older brain with less brain cells.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104578977171429876.post-79178891413035880282010-01-18T11:38:26.444-05:002010-01-18T11:38:26.444-05:00I loved that book.

My favorite part was the end where it explains life being like the lotus blossom, that long after the lotus is gone, it leaves a sweet perfume. I want to live my life like that.Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03487980202707637014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104578977171429876.post-36332038789844807662010-01-17T17:17:30.253-05:002010-01-17T17:17:30.253-05:00Love the seasoning recipe, the baby legwarmers, th...Love the seasoning recipe, the baby legwarmers, the *rustic-chic* birthday gifts. Awesome.<br /><br />On a side note, I wasn't thrilled with Diamont's Red Tent. I have a hard time with biblical fiction that is, well, extrabiblical (which is, I guess, the dfinition of fiction, after all) I felt the book made the Patriarchs of old look like total buttheads and was *very* feministic- elevating the customs of women far above the principles of God. Specifically, it made Jacob look like a wimp. But that's just my two cents.Amy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13919917268741058474noreply@blogger.com
