When I invited a Catholic friend to church with me and told her to bring a Bible, she was quite surprised. Even though she had grown up in a "Christian" environment, her Catholic church had not encouraged her to read God's Word. After the service she told me how different it was to read along with the pastor. She really liked the knowing that God could speak to her through His Word as well as through ordained church officials.

I'm not trying to judge you, that's not my job. I am just a seeker too, in search of God. Somewhere somehow this subject became taboo. I have no other way to communicate to you. This is all that I am, this is all that I have. Reminds me of some Sara Groves lyrics from her song “Conversations.”

I would have an easier time recommended just about any book to a friend other than the Bible. It's almost like separation of church and state has extended to church and *everything*.
