I imagine some of you have heard of the author, Dan Brown, who wrote two 
books that have been made into movies.  The two books I'm referring to are 
The Da Vinci Code and his latest one that just came out not too long again 
as a movie called Angels and Demons.  Going through the books recorded for 
the BARD program and put on the website for download in the last 30 days, I 
ran across Dan Browns books and just finished Angels and Demons.  I just 
started the Da Vinci Code today.  These are not Christian fiction stories 
but there is a lot of information based in truth relating to the Catholic 
church, the Vatican, secret societies, Freemasonry, and secret symbolism.  I 
found Angels and Demons an excellent read.  I remember the movie made it 
into the news because the Vatican protested it spoke out against the 
Catholic church but later recanted, apparently someone in the Vatican read 
the book and reported it actually supported the Catholic church, or at the 
very least, didn't put it down, and the movie wasn't band in Rome as the 
Vatican was first suggesting.  I am a big fan of adventure novels by Clive 
Cussler and his latest novel called Corsair; The Oregon Files, is another in 
the series of a mercenary undercover ship that helps save the day in every 
book.  If you thought the stories that had Harrison Ford in it, oh, what was 
his name?  You know, Raiders of the Lost Ark and those books put into 
movies?  If you think they were adventurous and have loads of exciting 
action in them, The Oregon Files series beats them hands down.  This latest 
Oregon Files story called, as I said, Corsair, was just release this year 
and I downloaded it a few days ago and just finished it today.  It has some 
interesting things weaved into the story concerning ancient archeological 
findings relating to Jesus that was very cleverly done.  Actually, out of 
the 30 plus books written by Clive Cussler, and now many additional 
adventure books written by co-authors, including his own son, I've only read 
one book I didn't think was all that exciting.  Clive Cussler used to live 
in a suburb of Denver called Golden Colorado which is only about 20 minutes 
from where I live.  The good guys always win in Cussler's books, too. 
Anyhow, the way I heard some Christians talk about it, I figured those Dan 
Brown books were sacrilegious horror stories with demons and all types of 
supernatural type things mixed into the stories but as it turns out, they 
aren't remotely anything like that but they are great adventure novels.  Oh, 
I just remembered Harrison Ford's character name.  Indiana Jones.

Phil.
