DIVERGENT

I’ve been wanting to check out this series and our son is already on the second book, INSURGENT. So, if I am going to take him to the movie version of DIVERGENT, I certainly need to read the book first.
BOOK-ALICIOUS MAMA is offering a read-along on her blog. We can read and discuss it together just in time to go see the movie. Even though my reading list is LOONNGG, I am going to do my best to keep up with her reading schedule. You need to have the first 12 chapters done by February 10th. In 15 days, I should be able to read 12 chapters. Right?
Would you like to join in the fun? Just click HERE for all the details. Jennifer at BOOK-ALICIOUS MAMA will be the host, but I will share my thoughts here on my Facebook page and on Twitter as well. If you haven’t read DIVERGENT yet, now is the time!

HISTORICAL FACTS BY FAITH
Why do I believe that the Bible is God's truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Why? Because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ! Why do I believe in the resurrection? Why? Because it is a historical fact, recorded in the Bible. There are no living eye witnesses to the resurrection; I accept the historical record in the Bible, by faith.
CAN HISTORICAL RECORDS BE TRUSTED?
Most men accept that Hannibal was born in 247 B.C. and was considered the greatest military tactician and strategist in European history. Why do men believe this? There are no living eye witnesses, so the historical record is accepted, by faith.
George Washington was the first president of the United States of America 1788-1797. Men accept this as fact, by faith, because of the historical record. There are no eye witnesses who are still alive.
1 Corinthians 15:3-8 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and at last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
I believe the Bible to be God's record for mankind. I believe it because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. I accept this as accurate historical facts, by faith.
THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS FROM THE GRAVE PUTS HIM IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF!
MEN ACCEPT SECULAR HISTORICAL FACT, BY FAITH.
WHY DO MEN NOT ACCEPT GOD'S BIBLICAL HISTORICAL FACTS, BY FAITH?
