Sure. Give me the books and I'll read them. I have no doubts about my faith.
Cheers :-)

Make the movies, then I may have the time to watch it, but I would rather see a life that is happy with what God has given him than read a book to change my opinion. Shaken is a word that many people really do not understand. Life being very hard and still believing is much harder to live than people that have life so easy that all they can speak of is reading books to get understanding.
Suffering for doing good things is the greatest teacher any man can have to learn patience and how to rule the world. Maybe you read the book three times and you imagine you have a understanding of the Bible but I have read some parts hundreds of times and I know there is deeper meaning than my mind can comprehend.
Everybody thinks they were born to be God's critic, but I tell you the truth there is not a book amoung men written more perfect than the Bible.

Courage has nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned but rather is it going to build me up or tear me down. Christians believe that we can do anything but not everything is good for us.
How can reading these books be good for me? Will they illuminate your beliefs so we can enter into a dialog or will they just confuse the issue? What is the nature of your books? Are they strictly spiritual with a kind approach as is the Bible or are they geared toward trickery and the twisting of ideas?
If they are the latter, which I assume they are by their titles, you're right, I have no intention of reading them.
You must convince me further of your intentions.

Have read all three. 99% of the arguments that they brought up have been around as theological arguments as far back as the ancient Greeks (Plato and company). And each as been answers hundreds of different ways over the centuries since. Nothing new in them.
If you are serious, however, about looking a books on religion, might I suggest you read CS Lewis' book "Mere Christianity". One of the best explanation of Christian faith and morality I have read.
Let me know what you think of it.

After reading some of your other writings in questions and answers, and the foolishness you have written, I wouldn't even consider wasting my time on your books even if you paid me. Courage has nothing to do with it. I don't feed my mind with stupidities and that is exactly what I'd be doing by wasting my time reading your books. But your reading The Bible three times has to be the smartest thing you have accomplished in your lifetime, if only you had the brains to grasp it and apply it to your life. So sad!
PEACE!!!

Just because you've read the Bible doesn't mean you understand it. It's only through the Holy Spirit that you can understand the scriptures, and even then it's a lifelong learning process as they continue to come alive and you find new meanings along the way. I could read your books, but what revelation would they offer that hasn't already been proven false by the Spirit of the living God?

Read them all. "God delusion is fair", the rest rubbish. None would shake the faith of a fifth grader.

With all due respect I didn't write the bible.
Reading one or all of your books would not take courage, it would take interest.
I might have interest, and I can assure you that my faith would not be shaken, as I have the encouragement of Christ Who strengthens me.
blessings :)

You might have read it three times, and it wouldn't matter if you read a million times; if you are not a child of GOD, then you will never understand any of it. sinners don't know what they read when they do read the BIBLE!
For the true interpretation of it, you have to repent of your sins, be baptized in His name and recieve the Holy Ghost.
