Calling all Saint Ashley desciples! Hello? Helloooo? Too much static.
Perhaps these PDL connections only get through when the weather is clear.

I don't know why this has anything to do with the young lady who saved her life by reading this worthless creature something from
PDL. Why should this detract from what happened that night? She's
alive, isn't she? Shhhheeeesh, you people are heartless.
As for Brian Nichols, the bloodthirsty moon god can have him.

It may not matter in his case, but from what I've read most of the Islamic prison ministries are wahabbi (read Saudi) financed. I fear we have the potential of creating a cadre of jihadists of the Richard Reid varity. Someone needs to look closely at just what's being taught that causes someone to become a shoebomber on release.

Thanks for the ping! I remember the big deal about how this book was praised when that praise should have all been directed at God. God saved the hostage's life and he had and still has a purpose for Brian Nichols. I suppose Mr. Nichols sees Islam as a wonderful plan for his life. I was appalled that the press praised the book and the girl ( as being a natural born negotiator ) , God was not even an after thought.
This is what happens when unregenerate men put a carnal spin on a work of God.
The press loved the story .. even dragging out her past .
I did not hear Rick Warren praise God when they were interviewing him. There was no pointing to the source. He alluded to his surprise at its popularity .. and making doctrine understandable.. but no all the glory to God statements came from his mouth .
The change in the life of this young lady was a work of God.
The press made the story all about Nicholes when in Gods mind this may have been all about protecting the young Christian woman, not the conversion of the man .
Not one bird falls from the sky without it being ordained of God. God knew where Nicholes was and He knew the heart of the young woman. He ordained to preserve her for His purposes .
Nicholes will also be a part of Gods plan in a way we do not see or understand.(romans 9)
I hope God uses this event to bring some humility to Warren.
It was never about his book, it was always about the faithfulness of God to His children

Hear hear, a win all around for Rick Warren's Purpose Driven lie.

So I guess he never got through reading "Purpose Driven Life" Purpose Driven Life isn't Christian.

I suppose Mr. Nichols sees Islam as a wonderful plan for his life. Considering as how the book makes no specific definition of who God is and what the real Gospel is, it's not a surprise at all!

I guess the Christian witnessing in the apartment didn't stick... Oh, pullease.... that she read from the Purpose Drivel textbook doesn't mean she witnessed. She distracted him long enough at a point of extreme duress (for both of them) to slip away.

not because he's lost what little Christianity he seemed to display. What Christianity did he display?
All I heard from him was psychobabble. (alas, much like the book everyone heralded as so 'wonderful' in this story)

Thank God...he finally found a religion that suits his character... It's what Rick's book is all about! Find a religion that matches your 'felt need.' No surprise there.

Usually the conversion to the Religion of Peace comes first, and then the terrorist murder sprees commence. LOL!
Ever read about Rick's PEACE plan?... hmm....

The chapter of The Purpose-Driven Life that the gal read to him was about how "you were created to serve God." Divorced from the context of the rest of the book, that statement is consistent with Islamic theology Divorced from the rest of WHAT book? The whole Purpose Driven phenomenon is divorced from the rest of THE BOOK and is consistent with any theology you want to make it as long as you say the name Jesus once in a while and GOD even more often.

Wait a minute... wait a minute... has it been FORTY DAYS yet? Maybe this is a false alarm. Maybe he's been reading more than one chapter a day!

I shan't go find the articles, but the kidnapping victim gave interviews and talked about his interest in Christianity and questions he asked.
It may not be your version of Christianity, and you may not think much of the book A Purpose Driven Life, but from her interviews, he did seem genuinely interested in Christianity.
And isn't forgiveness one of the tenets of Christianity?

So if he was genuinely interested why convert to Islam? I think he was genuinely interested in finding something to fill his 'felt need' all right. But nothing that resembled Christianity.

BTW even Islam professes some esteem for Christ. I guess that means they're interested in Christianity.
