The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism
Timothy Keller
Dutton Adult, 2008
A masterful and clear explanation of Christianity
Not a complete explanation of God, of course. But it must be one of the most clear and comprehensive ones. The author relies heavily on the Christian writers C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. But he does not ignore the opposition. Timothy Keller also very clearly ...

Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life
Charles J. Chaput
Doubleday, 2008
A terrific read
I read this overnight and couldn't put it down. Chaput has an easy, engaging writing style, but don't let that fool you. He has a deep grasp of history and a forceful message about the role of Catholic faith in shaping and humanizing the public square. He deals with ...

I was happy to see that this book was added to Oprah's book club, this ment that millions who never knew of this book would read it or at least hear it's story. I read this in college as part of the debates on wither the US should have entered WW2 before 1941. When I ...

Mitch Albom
Broadway, 2002
A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of ...

The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books, 2008
Repent now, the end time is nearer than you think!!
This book is full of lies from the devil himself. The only truth is in the bible. The bible is 1/3 prophecy from God. Read it for yourself. The only way to eternal life in heaven is through Jesus Christ the son of God, who died to save us from eternal death in hell. ...

Beacon Press, 2006
A masterpiece of great dignity
While I have never really warmed up to the second part of Frankl's book, the "Experiences in a Concentration Camp" section has to be one of the finest examinations of meaning under terrible circumstances ever written. Frankl is insightful, unpretentious, incisive, ...

Henry Cloud, John Townsend
Zondervan, 2002
Good book... life changer
I am so happy I bought this book. It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that ...
