It left me with my heart pounding and stayed with me for months.

My first thought as I was reading your post was "The Blair Witch Project". I used to watch horror movies with my friends at sleepovers and they never scared me so I thought that movie would be "fun" to watch too. I couldn't have been more wrong. I didn't sleep well for a week afterwards and kept having nightmares about the movie. I'd also get real nervous anytime I was outside after dark. It took a long time for me to get over it. Actually that was 6 years ago and obviously it affected me enough to think of it first now. As for the things that have given me that feeling in a positive way or at least not in a terrified way I can think of a few. The movie "The Notebook" is one that leaves me crying everytime, "Forrest Gump" does also but not in the same way. I read the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", it definitely changed how I think about things. I'll call this a side note just because I'm not sure it quite goes with what you were asking...the church I used to go to decided to do the "Purpose Driven Life" series. It changed a lot of people but not necessarily in a good way. Since doing that, the church has basically fallen apart because of too many people seeking out THEIR purpose and disregarding the needs of the whole church. Honestly, I'm one of them in a way. I realized the direction things were headed and got out early because I didn't want to let church politics affect my faith.

Yes, I am being greatly affected by what I am reading - the Holy Bible, and I hope that you include these in your reading. I am a Christian, a child of God, baptized into Christ on October 1, 1989 and I belong to the Church of Christ founded and headed by Christ as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am given the gift of knowledge and understanding Bible Greek and I translate the Word of God from Greek to English PLAINLY - Greek word into its English equivalent with additional words for grammar purposes written in italics so that readers may delete them when they so desire. I have already published GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS (Greek-English), THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin I have seen the versions being circulated worldwide and they are generally admitted to be 80% NOT translations. My translations are 99.99% translations and I see the truth, beauty, and sweetness of the Word of God. I hope these books could also help people understand the Word of God and be saved. May God bless you. SEN
