Misshalfway Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 Yesterday I read a book. It's called "The Peacegiver" by James Ferrel. My assumption is that many of you have read the book and that again, I am late to the party. But I don't care. The book found me at the exact right moment that I was ready for it. I wish I could explain its impact on my heart, mind, and soul. I don't know if such is possible. Perhaps such understanding can only be between me and God. But I'll say this.... I think I became a Christian today. (breath.) Quote
applepansy Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 I loved The Peacegiver. I'm glad you enjoyed it too. Most of the people I've talked to who have read this book have had a similar experience. Quote
AngelMarvel Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 I just looked at it on Amazon and read the first few pages.... made me cry. Quote
MrShorty Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 When I read this book, I started a brief discussion that talked about some things I got out of the book. http://www.lds.net/forums/book-club/39809-peacegiver-james-ferrell.htmlOverall, I agree that it was a good book, with a real message about forgiving others their trespasses against us and allowing Christ to help us grant that forgiveness.

(breath.)I find the subject and doctrine presented in the book very powerful and something that is very important in believing in and understanding the Christ. But I find the endless dribble between the grandfather and grandson to be a distraction to the power in the ideas presented. None-the-less, I consider the book a must read for any person considering themselves a Christian. Just skip the boring repetitive non-important parts.The Traveler Quote

I actually appreciated and even needed the conversation led by the Grandfather. Quote
Traveler Posted September 9, 2013 Report Posted September 9, 2013 You must not like Socrates. I actually appreciated and even needed the conversation led by the Grandfather. You are like my wife - I am sorry but I keep forgetting that in reality I am the minority and that you and my wife are the majority. The Traveler Quote
Quin Posted September 10, 2013 Report Posted September 10, 2013 I haven't read it! (If it makes you feel better, I'm still at the 7/11 picking up bags of ice, texting to see if there's anything else I can pick up to cover that I'm not at the party ) Quote
