Book/Bible study recommendations for college age?

basicly it's almost summer (only 2 more days of finals between me and summer break) but i am a Christian college age girl and i want to know what books or bible studies anyone else would recommend someone my age to read, i'd like to get a lot of reading in over the summer and also grow in my faith and use my mind to study God, church history, etc...

Book/Bible study recommendations for college age?
Well John MacArthur came out with a good book recently called "The Truth War." Anything by Ray Comfort is good, especially "The Way of the Master", "Hell's Best Kept Secret", and "How to Win Souls and Influence People". You can get book by Ray Comfort at http://www.livingwaters.com or you can have a book store to order them, like Barnes n' Noble. Not Borders though cuz they for some odd reason can't get them. Also anything by Charles Spurgeon like "All of Grace" is good, as well as other famous writers from the past like John Wesley, George Whitfield and the like. And if your looking for a nice little program to do, that will educate you like you wouldn't believe, focusing on the realm of evangelism you can go to http://www.biblicalevangelism.com and take the online course. I hope that helps ya out.
Reply:It your looking fro a fun book I'm reading "Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock" by Andrew Beaujon. I don't think he's a christian either but I've found it very interesting.
Reply:Send for my free Catholic Resource CD.





It has more stuff on it than you could read in a dozen summers, it includes the best theology and religious scholarship from the last 2000 years, and the price is right.





If you don't like it, I'll even give you double your money back!
Reply:www.apologeticspress.org has books for all ages for sale that are sound in Bible. Check it out!





They've got Bible topics (faith, baptism, etc), science and Bible topcis, evolution and the Bible and all kinds of interesting things.

Reply:Hi Erica....I really encourage you to sharpen your mind and your faith by continuing to read and study.


As a writer and continuing student of the Word I would highly recommend a KJV Bullinger Companion Bible. I would also encourage you to do a "google" on E.W. Bullinger to find out who and what he wrote. He also wrote some amazing article on the constellations and how our Heavenly Father placed them in the sky as a witness to his Word. It has absolutely nothing to do with astrology (occult) and everything to do with the astronomical evidence of God's awesome plan. Then there are some very interesting books written by a professor of anthropology by the name of E. Raymond Capt. One book I just finished a short time ago was the Traditions of Glastonbury where I had some pertinent questions about Jesus' life before his ministry began and his relationship with Joseph of Arimathea. Have a great summer and God Bless!
Reply:You like bible studies, ch by ch and vs by vs, so you get Meat and not milk. Here's a couple.








http://www.theseason.org/ has both old and new testaments

Also i find its a waste of time to study any book about the bible. It's better to study "the" bible.
Reply:I don't know if you'd like it, but Asimov's Guide to the Bible by Isaac Asimov is good (I never finished reading it because I didn't get time before I had to return it to the library). Keep in mind that he was an Atheist and a very intelligent man, so he looks at the bible in a very scientific and historical way. If you can handle that, than its a good book from what I've read.
Reply:Sacred Origins of Profound Things: The Stories Behind the Rites and Rituals of the World's Religions (Paperback)





Mostly for the actual facts about the bible and other religions.
Reply:Hi... Thats great you want to read more and learn more about your faith. I love sharing books and i would like to post you a free book.





email chatfreak29@yahoo.com.au if you are interested!





luv katie
Reply:STUDY..not just read your bible...buy a "strongs exhaustive concordance"..this is extremely helfull in studies.
