- Peace Like a River, by Leif Enger. It took us a while to get into it, but it’s a good book that we haven’t quite finished (****)
- The Curate of Glaston, by George MacDonald. A trilogy of MacDonald’s books with a young curate common to them all. Very good reading; the plots are ok but the main attraction is MacDonald’s thoughts on God and life. (****)
- Miracles, by C. S. Lewis (****)
- Apologizing to Dogs, by Joe Coomer. Picked it up on a whim, didn’t like it. Maybe I’m just too serious. Empty lives, dirty little secrets, didn’t seem like a great comedy to me. (**)
- Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion, Edward J. Larson, 1997. Fascinating, Pulitzer Prize winner. (*****)
- The Bookseller of Kabul, by Asne Seirstad (****)
- Iran–Desperate for God, available at www.vombooks.com. Autobiographical sketches by seven Iranians who left the main religion. Interesting, thought-provoking, and sincere. A side of Iran not portrayed by the media. (****)
