Thanks everyone for joining the Bright Ideas from Bestselling Authors group's live chat.

Gather Editorial selected their favorite question from the chat:
These online bonds don't seem as permenant as real-life ones. It's easier to 'dodge' someone online - don't log in, change a screen name or 'lie' because you don't have to see them face-to-face. Is this change in social structure considered anywhere near as haelthy as the real-live in-person friend or is it creating a weaker social structure for interaction in your opinion? Disposable friends and relationships as it were. -Submitted by Nick H.

Good afternoon Gather.

Welcome to the chat with Dr Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan. For the next 30 minutes we'll be discussing their new book, iBrain. You may jump in at any point with a question.

Let's begin the chat with a question from Patricia G. She asks:
With all of our technology advances becoming more and more rapid, do you see a point in time where people start treating technology almost like an extra sense--going from an optional part of life to a borderline need (at least in people's minds)?

Thanks everyone for joining the Bright Ideas from Bestselling Authors group's live chat.

Gather Editorial selected their favorite question from the chat:

I am the type of person who does not know what I want. I love so many things and I cannot figure out what to do with my life. The job I'm at is okay, and the people are great but it will not achieve the things I want.

I want to do something I have passion for, but my passion always fizzels so quickly that as soon as I've explored it, I'm already on to something else. So my question is How do I create a life for myself based on my passions, when it doesn't seem I have one that sticks? by Lisa H.

Nina, do you think that this book will encourage more people to believe in Christ? Or to believe in the historical accuracy of the Bible? What do you hope the readers of this book will walk away with? by Susan Budig.

The following question was submitted earlier by Mary Bradley McCauley:

Am visiting family for the holiday but what I'm trying to achieve most in life is focus on marketing my writing and knowing which of my works are best to promote. I'm not sure how to put that on a vision board.

Nina,

What made you decide to research this book. Has religion always been a fascinating topic for you?

Good morning everyone. Welcome to the chat Nina Burleigh. For the next 30 minutes we'll be discussing her new book, Unholy Business. You may jump in at any point with a question.

Let's begin the chat with a question from Christine Zibas. Nina, she asks if you:

"…have any suggestions on how average citizens might distinguish fact from fiction when it comes to stories arising out of Biblical discoveries?

Add to the mix the recent interest in all things Biblical with the release of the book 'The Da Vinci Code,' and how does one determine new facts vs. fantasy?"
