SMC:

^{[s]I don't care what you believe. It is definitely a book. [/s]} Isn't the Bible also referred to as "the Holy Book"? Hmmmmmmm.

Thank you o my brother. Abeg Help me ask am.

The Holy Bible is not a book.

The Holy Bible is a compilation of many books.
The Bible contains 66 books.
39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.

Orikinla:

How did I know you will come up with that lame argument?  You are predictable that's how.

The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines the Bible as -

"the holy BOOK of the Christian religion, consisting of the Old Testament and the New Testament"


Also, The American Heritage New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy defines the Bible as -

"The BOOK sacred to Christians, which they consider to be the inspired word of God. The Bible includes the Old Testament, which contains the sacred books of the Jews, and the New Testament, which begins with the birth of Jesus."

I addition to the foregoing, YOU yourself Orikinla have described the Holy Bible as a BOOK on June 01, 2007 at 08:11 AM in one of your previous posts which is inserted below from your thread titled "Proverbs 31 In Full Colour Print And Audio Media." This was less than 16 hours before you did a volte-face and changed your stance. It seems you simply delight in opposing me unnecessarily albeit with little success.

Orikinla on June 01, 2007, 08:11 AM:

I am working on the fully illustrated in colour version of Proverbs 31.

The book of Proverbs is my third most favourite books of the Holy Bible.
The New Testament, the Psalms and the Proverbs.
My life is being built on the foundation of the Word of God.

I work with two books, the Holy Bible and Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

I love Proverbs 31, because the words speak volumes to me. And God has also sent me my own Virtuous Woman of verses 10-31.

The fully illustrated book Proverbs 31 should be ready for Christmas with an audio CD of it included in the package and downloads will be available.

NEED I SAY MORE? I Rest my Case!!!

I've got a chart buster. i just read a book titled

The doomsday conspiracy by Sidney Sheldon.

I think this book is the bomb and it's my favorite now.

yes! yes! thanks. now i remember. I love that book. i knew smone wld come to my rescue sooner or later. thanks, girl.

harry potter!

The best novel I've read so far is 'gower street' by claire rayner.The most interesting author of novels in my opinion is Dean koontz. I love the humour in his works.

The Sicillian by MARIO PUZO. Classic literature. the man at his absolute best.

"The adventures of Tom Sawyer"!

"Animal Farm"

"A Quiver Full of Arrows"

"Thorn Birds""

"North and South"

"The Shell Seekers"

Chasing Destiny - Eric Jerome Dickey

Men crys in dark


Are you afraid of the dark- Sidney Sheldon

intensity by dean koontz definitely lived up to its name. i couldn't put that book down until i finished it. and it left me with a lingering feeling i've never experienced before. for a week i was still thinking of the characters in the book and what they went through. it really draws u in and the whole time, u feel like u're actually one of the characters in the book! very intense! definitely worth reading over and over again. the book was made into a tv-movie i believe and there was another movie that was also modelled after it called "high tension". very graphic, if u like gore!

i've become a fan of his over the years and his books just suck u in and feel so real.

dats some gud ass book

Addicted by Zane
Chasing Destiny by Eric Jerome Dickey
LovePeddler by Tanika Lynch
Skyscraper by Zane

I'm not sure I have any favourites

my favourite book of all time would be either David Copperfield by Charles Dickens (i've never cried over an issue as i have over that book!), or all Enid Blyton books. Enid Blyton is my favourite author of all time, i've been reading her books since i was 4 and still love them.

i used to read african novels when i was in secondary school but have since stopped because i don't see them anywhere these days. i think Cry, Beloved Country by Alan Paton, or so, would be my favourite african novel.

Reading books since when u were 4?Lol;u must be some sort of whiz-kid back then

This is a difficult choice for me. I have a 1st & 2nd degree in Literature so I naturally have had to read a lot of books!

But guess what, i am choosing a non-literary book.

Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence people is the book that turned my life around in many ways and set me on the path to becoming the person I'd always wanted to be. So I guess that's the got to be the one!

left behind, dont know wich one

compared to now, yes i guess i was a whiz-kid then, though it was mostly because i had no choice. my parents gave us lots of books and no time for TV.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is my best.

harln coben - TELL NO ONE
thats my all time best

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Leo Tolstoy's book Anna Karenina

a tragic love affair in Russian words ,i read the translated book an amazing story

its strange how love storys that end with a tragic stick more to our heads than the happily ever after

If Tomorrow Comes[/color] by Sidney Sheldon[color=#770077] is my all time favourite.

I have read so many that i've lost count but the two that come to my mind right now are:

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers - a story of unconditional love

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks -

The Thorn Birds -----------------Colleen MacCullough

The beach house by james patterson

FINGERSMITH by SARAH WATERS
