All I keep thinking when I read this is Aesop's "Fox and the Grapes." “These women are college graduates and we all know how smart that makes one.”

But...next time will be different. I usually just get so mad...it's why I don't go in "Christian" bookstores ever if I can help it. How truly pathetic. It is really sad that these kinds of things provide many Christians with their theology. Thanks for sharing...very thought provoking. in grace, Kathy I have to admit, I throw this catalog away without looking at it. But…next time will be different.

I used to peruse this catalog, hoping for something great--now I pitch it without breaking the seal. There ARE a few greats--Francine Rivers is the one that comes to mind--but VERY few. I loved the first Left Behind, liked the second one, thought the third one was okay, but each one got progressively less appealing. Why can't they just let a series DIE, anyway??? (can you say "cash cow?" :roll: ) Too funny! I used to peruse this catalog, hoping for something great–now I pitch it without breaking the seal.

You have pricked a nerve here. I've often wondered how much of this junk gets published, it's so poorly written. I have, however, found an author in the "Christian fiction" market who has a lovely way with words and who manages to portray her characters in a three-dimensional manner while conveying the gospel message by means of believable situations and circumstances that are common to all men. Her name is Jamie Langston Turner....perhaps you have heard of her or even read one or more of her books? No comment on the Left Behind series, just....~shudder~ P.S. We love the Thin Man movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy. They're available as a set on DVD. I've never seen any Dashiell Hammet at a book sale, wonder of wonders, which is where I collect the majority of my fiction, so I've never read the Thin Man novels. Are they as wittily written as the dialogue in the films? Perhaps I shall add them to my Christmas list. Thanks for the tip! Oh Cindy, this would be so funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

JK!!! I've never had either...just knew the names. A “White Russian” or a “Black Russian”?

The only one I keep is the homeschooling catalog. I've found just a few great writers of "Christian" fiction. One is mentioned on my blog from yesterday (Book Ponderings). Those two books are Inklings and Expectations... (VERY GOOD!) I almost missed them because I don't buy Christian fiction very often. I found the first of the series at a library sale. Paid full price for the second! I threw my catalog away, too. The only one I keep is the homeschooling catalog.
