The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
By J.R.R tolkien

The lord of the Rings trilogy is (as you most likely know) a fantasy adventure about the Fellowship of the Ring as they try to destroy the One Ring of Sauron, and they end up fighting in massive seiges and battles for the realms of Rohan and Gondor.

The reason I chose the book (this is about the third time I've read the trilogy) is because it is the 'starting point' of modern fantasy and I also love the detail put in the world and in the various maps that Tolkien drew.

It's for this reason that when I've read this book, I'm going to read the History of Middle-earth 12 book series.

In my religion reading today I read about how the prophets gave 'clues' to the Jews so that they would be able to recognize the Messiah.

The book I was reading then briefly covered the two parts of Jesus' life: His 'hidden life', when He didn't preached and lived with Mary and Joseph and also His 'public life' when he preached to the people, which first started when He was baptised in the River Jordan by St. John the Baptist when the Holy Spirit came down.

My religion book then covered briefly two heresies: Docetism, which is the belief that Christ wasn't man and only seemed to be, because the body was evil.

The second heresy it talked about was that of Arianism, which is the belief that Christ was the Messiah but wasn't divine.

That was all of mt religion for today.
