Hello,

My Name is Ben, and I am from North Carolina, USA. I am now retired after having served 10 years in the Army, and the remaining years in management. I have no idea as to how many books I have read, many were forgetable, many were wonderful. Some of those books are on my shelve.

    Hey Ben, What did you think of "The Last Templar?" Was it good? I am curious as this topic is one of my interests. Jann

    What goes around...comes around. I have a daughter who steals my books, except I am in NY and she is in Seattle!

    Hi Ben
    I have found no real evidence of this, most talk of her as the prostitute even though this is not stated in the New Testament, or her relationship with Jesus, but I have found this
    Gregory of Tours, writing in Tours in the sixth century, supports the tradition that she retired to Ephesus, with no mention of any connection to Gaul.

    Gaul had Celtic connections, other early fathers say she fled to Europe during the christian persecutions. I will look further.

    I DO like Military books. I have been reading them for as long as I can remember! I find them fascinating. Now I have two grandsons in the Air Force, and I am so very proud of them.

    My Dad was a voracious reader. He had books everywhere! When I saw he had something new, I would read it. Sometimes I would steal a book he hadn't finished.... well I had to wait to read it and I would whine at him to hurry up!

    The Egyptian was a great book, although the women characters in the book had a strange conception about love. I also gathered a number of quotes ...
    Now I'm halfway through the River God :)

    I thought you would like the info on environment wiping mankind off the face of the earth. It could be a good discussion point.
