These are the books bought by me that i'm always re-reading them with pleasure.Of course,now i read more online but a real book is much more valuable.. In my library you will not find something else othar than religious books. If i'm trying to read a novel,i always think : do i know everything about christianity? And the answer is no,of course. So how can i spend my time reading something that is not even real and is just the invention of the author? I feel does not help me in any way.
Of course,i have my moods when i want to escape from this reality and to project myself into other world so i read novels. I always live what i read and when i close the book and return to reality,i feel like i want to go back and live with those characters.
The queen of my library is of course
the Holy Bible. I read it again and again and i always learn something new.It's amazing,it will completely change your life ( The Holy Bible deserves a special article,so i will write more about that in another post).I have many Bibles but this one is special because my mum found it thrown in a garbage.Even if she's not religious,she took it ,sometimes people who seem they don't have faith in God,show more respect for Him than many believers. I love this book as an abandoned child..
The Holy Angels is a book written by a nun,converted to orthodoxy. It's very interesting to read about all the angelic apparitions in the Old and New Testament.
Cleopa is speaking to us is the first pure orthodox book that opened my heart and my eyes and made me to fight more with temptations and to start to have a clean mind without any negative and sinful thought. I've learnt how to pray for real and how to feel the love of God in my heart. Has been an amazing period ,but i have fallen again....
Steps to Salvation is a theological book about the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ ,very interesting and well documented. For who does not love theology,might be hard to understand it.
Just the facts of love last is written by an orthodox serb,it's kind of hard to read it's translation because the phrases are so long that you can loose the sense but you can find interesting things about how to be strong in faith,about fear,egoism,how to help your neighbour and how to be devouted to God.
The future in the light of the prophecies -I love this book because i love the biblical prophecies about the future.It analyzes the future of the christians and of Israel based on the Bible. Many of the prophecies have already been fulfilled. That's amazing and frightening...
The life of the Virgin Mary contains facts that you might don't know about the Mother of Christ. There is a Gospel -The Gospel of Jacob that is not included in the Bible because it's not inspired by the Holy Spirit but that does not mean it's not a true book.
Serghei Nikolaevici Lazarev books I've read 6 or 7 of his books,the first i started it when i was 14 years old,these are the books that have changed me and have made me to practice christianity,not just to believe in it.I don't have them anymore,they can completely change your life because it's about amazing true facts and experiences of life but,step by step you will realize they contain some practices against christianity (most of them derived from yoga) so,if you are truly interested in christianity then it's better for you to pass at the next level and read pure christian books. I mean take what is good from Lazarev but then read pure christianity.I would describe these books as the initiator of me to God.
The life of the saints presents the attrocities our beloved christians have suffered in God's name and for His name. Lots of miracles and christians who accept with love to be killed for the "sin" of believing in Jesus Christ.
The last words of Jesus . You have to be careful before you buy a christian book because are many fakes that caim to say the truth but they are nothing more than "Dan Brown type of books" - just to earn money and to provoke shock. This book is one of them ,if you don't have some knowledge about the Bible ,you can fall in this trap.
Christianity as a mistical fact and the mysteries of Antiquity . My first love is philosophy ,i've tried so much to understand every philosopher that i almost feel i have met them ... This book tries to explain christianity in a philosophical manner but i think you can't understand it through philosophy or science,but just through faith ,you just need to look into your soul . So thsi book cannot help too much but for who loves philosophy,it's a good lecture
10 conversations with Elder Cleopa . He was a saint of our days and his speech has been recorded and written in books. He speaks about how to be a good christian,about faith,love,suffering,prayer and how to fight with temptations that are separating us of the true way of God.
The Saudis I still didn't finish this book,it's written in english ,it's about the saudi history and saudis in general. I hope to can finish it...
Me,Aicha ,the wife of the Prophet . It's strange to me that this book is written by a muslim because i find it very bold when is about the prophet Mohammed. It's based on the stories of the Quran and 7adith ,about the life of Aisha,the 6 years old girl married with the prophet. For me the fact itself it's repulsive and when you also read the details given by Leila Mounir - about their sexual relations,it's even more repulsive.. It's a fictional book based on real facts but i think it's not a good book for the muslims ,nor for those who dislike islam because does not present the reality (just partial)
