    Non Fiction. Its about scriptures written before the Bible, that the Catholic Church removed and chose not to include. Due to there being many more prophets before Jesus and that most of his spoken word along with others was twisted to fit there liking. Basically, God is really in all of us and inner peace and prayer is for your soul, and not to please an entity that doesnt exsist.

    ^NOTE^
    These are not my personal beleifs, nor am i bashing religion in any way. This is simply an explanation about a book i have read.

    I find it "mind blowing" because i enjoy studying other cultures belief systems. I find it interesting how there are so many stories and information about them to be learned. Pros and Cons.

    That does sound interesting.
    Thanks for explaining. Is it a newer or older book?

    I have heard good and bad about it. Most good, but some say it's poorly written?

    :eek: Who thinks they are bad? I haven't heard one single woman who has read them say that. I loved them, couldn't put them down, they were awesome. Not a read for the men maybe, but go get them for your wives, doubt you will be sorry. :D

    I've been noticing a lot of the issues have been due to the original story being based off of twilight. I guess it was a fanfiction that was kicked off the website for being too dirty.

    Although twilight was the last thing on my mind whilst reading.

    And yea, I cried at the ending. Must pick up the next book lol

    Just wait till you read the other two! I have never seen twilight, so maybe that helped. Didn't ever have an interest in that.
