** I'm a Christian, too, but I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am FAR from fanatical, and like I said, i read the book as a "good book", not as a piece of nonfiction. :? A lot of Christians I know refuse to even give the book a try because of Mr. Brown's claims that much of it is 'fact'. They think it's heresy, so they won't read it. I think it's up to them, but for myself, I enjoyed it as a good piece of fast-paced fiction. I just wish I knew more of my church history. :? That's one good thing about the book, imo. It prompts people like me, who aren't well-versed in their church histories, to go find out more. :? Like the Priory of Scion, and the > Free Masons and > stuff. He totally twisted their history. ** Have you read "The Holy Blood & the Holy Grail" by Michael Baigent? I'm about to. I think. ;P I got it out of my library. Since I'll be rereading THE DVC later on this year, I thought it might be interesting to read THB, THG as a companion. A friend recommended it. > As I said, read "The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code" > by Richard > Abanes. It was very informative. ** I've been looking for a book like this, but they've put out soooo many in the last while that I wasn't sure which to go with! :?
