I own a Scofield Bible. It is a loose leaf edition. I used it for several years but it is no longer usable. The binding mechanism has failed and it is just a bunch of loose pages. Before that I used a Thompson Chain Reference Bible for several years till it wore out. I like to mark Bibles and then when they are no longer usable I miss all those notes, etc.

By the way, there is a Scripture for marking your Bible. Jeremiah 23:18, (KJV of course) says:
"For who has stood in the counsel of the LORD, And has perceived and heard His word? Who has marked His word and heard it?"

More recently I have been using a CJB (Complete Jewish Bible) but it is getting to the point where I'll have to replace it. I hate that when that happens.

I don't know what you you mean by "longest legs" and by that statement.

That longest legs comment is really funny. The way A_POMO talks leaves me no doubt that he lives in California.

Recently read "The Miracle of Passover" by Zola Levitt. He was a Messianic Jew that I used to see on tv once in a while. It is a short book, only 38 pages, but it provides a Jewish perspective on the Passover and the Christian version of the Passover which we call The Lord's Supper or Communion.

I'd like to participate in a Passover Seder. I've heard it is pretty cool.

Regarding the disp 'long legs' . He meant that of all the arguments that he's heard against disp. this one is the one that is most credible, has the most legs. He has his explanation (which I can't remember since I had the flu and was zoning out) but says it's debatable.

I'm reading "The Way of The Shepherd". My husband got it at a Mine Management Seminar. Incredible read.

A PoMo: We had The Passover Seder at our church a couple of years ago. A Jewish Doctor in our town presided over it. It was a great experience. I, selfishly, wish he hadn't retired so he could do it again this year!

...

Look around. This time of year some churches have someone come in and demonstrate the Passover. There is an organization called "Jews for Jesus" that sends representatives to churches to do a Passover demonstration. There are some great things demonstrated. Things that Jewish people have been doing for years and don't even realize what they could signify.

Over the weekend I read three short books (more like booklets, the longest only had sixty some pages)

The Miracle of Grace by John Hagee
The Renewing of the Holy Ghost by Mark Hanby
The Bible Way to Receive the Holy Spirit by Kenneth E. Hagin

Re: What are you reading currently?
 
Here are three books I highly recommend:

1. Probably my all time favorite book, "The Fear of the Lord" http://www.amazon.com/Fear-Lord-John...6115677&sr=1-1


2. "Sufficient Grace" - http://www.amazon.com/Sufficient-Gra...6115767&sr=1-1

3. This is hard to get in fact I don't know if you can get it new, but it is very much worth reading, "The Walk of the Spirit - the Walk of Power" - http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Power-V...6115828&sr=1-2

just read two short books on the Feasts of YHWH (Leviticus chapter 23).
The Seven Feasts of Israel by Zola Levitt
and
The Feasts of Jehovah by John Ritchie

these were follow up to the Zola Levitt book "The Miracle of Passover" that I read last month.

Right now I'm reading a book by the late David F. Gray titled "The Mystery of Israel's Flag."

None of these are very large books.

I am reading the Yada Yada Prayer Group series by Neta Jackson. They are truly a blessing and I have felt a renewed purpose for my life. Not to mention that they are entertaining.

I recently read two books by the late David F. Gray. His son is a member of this forum. The books by Bro. Gray which I read were:
"The Mystery of Israel's Flag"
and
"The Way of Victory"

"The Mystery of Israel's Flag" was published by Word Aflame. I didn't see a copyright date in it. This copy was signed by the author. I got it through Amazon.com

"The Way of Victory" is subtitled "A Booklet for New Converts" and is only 16 pages. It doesn't have a copyright date either.

Right now I am reading "Addresses on the Book of Joshua" by the late Harry Ironside. It has a copyright date of 1950.

The attachment below is taken from the book on Israel's flag and shows the "shield of David" or "Star of David" to be made up of two triangles, one representing God and one representing man. The Star of David or Shield of David is Jesus Who is God and man.

I have just finished " The Power of Prayer and Fasting" by Rionnie Floyd and have been on and of reading "Jesus Freaks" by Voice of the Martyrs and Intelligence for your Life by John Tesh. I was reading a bok of quotes by Yogi Berra but i don't remember where I was when I lost it so it must be somewhere else... duh

I recently read a book by the late David F. Gray titled, "The Mystery of Israel's Flag." I may have posted that already because I finished it a while ago.
Today I finished a book titled "The Holy Spirit" by R.I. Humberd. I've probably had this book for 20 or 30 years and just now got around to reading it. There is no copyright date but I would guess it was written in the nineteen forties of fifties. It gives some pretty good teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit but is not written from a Pentecostal viewpoint.

I have just started reading Td Jakes book Life Overflowing 6 pillars for Abundant living . It is his study on the book of Ephesians.

One of my problems is that I spend too much time on this and other forums and not enough time reading. It took something for me to honestly admit that. I have been doing better lately but not good enough.

I'm not being sarcastic, but the bible is what im reading. I need a whole lot more of it too. I'll get on a plan soon to read the entire thing before the year is up! I'm a slow reader sometimes though, I guess sometimes it takes me several readings of a verse or passage to get what its really saying. I'm "special" lawl!
