Da Vinci Code: Building my faith
May 1, 2006
I read The Davinci Code.
Frankly, I couldn’t put the book down. I read it in 12-hours, from 7pm to 7am. The book is just that darn good. No wonder it’s been on the bestselling list for almost 2-years.
My sister urged me not to read it.
“Your faith will be challenged,” she said. “If you’re not strong in God, that book will cause you to question him even more.”
While many Christians denounce that book as being heretic, blasphemous and downright disgraceful, I see it as a wondrous way to build character in Christians. If we’re not challenged in what we believe, then our religion simply becomes a habit. And once a habit, it’s very hard to break.

Got something to say?
I have not read the book, so I would not denounce it as “heretic, blasphemous and downright disgraceful”. My curiosity is -what makes it such a ‘darn good book’. Is it because it challenges the Word of God why it is so appealing to so many?
I have not read the book myself, but if it challenges one’s faith, I’m glad for it. I Peter 4:15 tells us that we should be ready to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you….If this book makes you search the bible for answers, then as a Christian, I welcome this urge to open the word of God to not only challenge but also subdue the cunning cratiness of man, whereby we know, he at times speaks and writes with the goal to only deceive.
