Not military, but I'm reminded of Rewind by Ken Grimwood. And I
haven't mentioned my VERY favorite one - Thrice Upon a Time by
James P. Hogan.

I looked up Ken Grimwood and saw the book 'Replay' which looks really
interesting! I'm gonna have to find that one. I also haven't read
'Thrice' and that one also looks very interesting! Thanks for those
suggestions!

Replay - that's it - sorry :-) was going by memory only :-)

Lee Child - Reacher series

Loved the first movie and the television series. Thought about
reading those. They are worth it?

They are hit and miss as far as the story lines go. Some of them
'connect' and some don't. I really like the way Lee Child writes
though
so even the ones with less 'connecting' story lines are fun for me to
read. The ones that 'connect' are excellent. The first movie was based
on the book 'One Shot' which was a pretty good one. If you like the
movie, I think you will like the books as well.

I will short list them then for sure. :-)

Thanks for your reply Jimmy! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for yours as well!!! Have a great one!

Quoting Jimmy Anderson to Cougar428 <=-

We have been watching Leverage on Prime Video. Always heard it was
good, and we are up to season four. Same sense of justice. :-)

I've seen trailers of the series and it looks interesting. I'll have
to
give it a watch and see how it is! Thanks again for the suggestion.

My wife and I really like stuff like this. :-) It's something we can watch together. She doesn't care for the Star Wars stuff, and less so for Marvel,
but something like this we enjoy together.

We are up to an episode that's very "The Office" in tone. :-D

Could be. Have you seen Nefarious? When I saw it, I didn't
know it was written purposefully with a Christian point of
view. I just heard that it was a good movie and thought it
hit the Christian worldview perfectly! Then I heard about
the making and filming...

There is a stigma over faith-based films. And.. most of them
seem overly preachy. But the secular ones get scripture
completely wrong. Watched the trailer of the film. That theme
is not my cup'o'tea right now.

Understood! It's powerful. And yes to the stigma... I saw a review
(more like a lasing out) of the film and instead of talking about
the salient points of it and spiritual warfare and such, their
review (blasting) was that it was just an excuse to push pro-life.
I was like - WOW - that's all you got out of it...

And yes, secular ones get it wrong. It's bad enough when you
watch something and the tech is wrong, or the guns are wrong,
but when they get the Bible or theology wrong... That hurts
on a different level.

I do like commentarys that explain in one mans words what has been written. But again they are mans words.
Never had the desire to read the Bible cover to cover.

Honestly, same here. I SHOULD read it cover to cover, just to know
what's there, but at the same time I know if I just do a 'cover to
cover reading' that I'm not going to retain it all. So I concentrate
on portions, but not in a dogmatic sense.

well nobody retains it all. it's still a good idea to do it. doing it any other way is a poor method.

Which is why I mentioned chronological order - more like a novel, building
on the previous content.
