No one, to date has shown anywhere where the content of the book is against the word of God. Don't you think that the content of something is far more important then the cover? First off. I want you to know that I agree with you. Next. I don't think this topic was ever about the book. I think someone got all offended by the title taking it to mean something demeaning about men. And last but not least. I am not taking any of this seriously. Edited September 11, 2017 by LadyKay Spelling Always Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting here is everyone is so quick to judge the book by its title...but no one has bothered to make a single comment as to the content of the book... Its a christian book about finding a husband. Im not saying the books content is wrong. Just the titling comes off as insulting- Why cant i find one.

I realize the topic wasn't necessarily about the specific book, I was addressing those who made it about the book without so much as bothering to open it.

I read a book in college called men are like waffles women are like spagetti. Similar naming style, it caught your attention just like this one and it was an excellent read. Creative titles catch more peoples eye and they sell better. I got no problem being called a bus. Only I'm a bus with only one stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know that Christ wrote a book called " If men are like Buses ". In Bible it says mariage is for men and woman , because they need each other . It also says that God will provide you all that you need , your wife or husband is included in all you need . You can pray to God for wife/husband or read bunch of garbage written by man , your decision . Edited September 11, 2017 by Amazing Horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, your statement that you shouldn't read anything but the bible and everything else is garbage is both false, and pure unadulterated legalism. Because I can guarantee you you read more then just the bible, your reading this text right here. And nowhere in the bible does it say you can't read other books. It just says be mindful and compare what you see elsewhere to what's in the Bible. 9 minutes ago, creativemechanic said: no. ... picture this- yure sngle and a friend gives you that book. or this one. How would you feel or what image do you think would they have of you Well, I can see your point, but the issue here isn't the title persay but the subject matter, and where wisdom plays in. If its a very close friend that you know has been sufering with rejection, then a gift like this is unlikely to offend. If its a much younger person and/or someone you don't know to well it may come off wrong. May come off as dropping hints etc. Its one of those know who your giving it to and use wisdom, and prudence in how you present it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should care what i have to say im sinner man and should be in hell if not grace of Christ . By what i wrote i mean , untill you understand bible , you should not waste your time on man's writtings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
