    "The Promised Land," by Mary Antin

    This is the story of what Mary found in the United States when her family immigrated from Russia to the US in the late 1980's. Everyone who loves this country and even those who do not should read this book. Her descriptions of why she fell in love with America are outstanding. The book was used as optional and required reading in most civics classes up until about 1949.

    I'll have to get it. I happen to believe he was America's Most Indispensible Man. Does it have much to say about his faith or lack there of. I read books about him that, some go one way and others go another.

    The Physics of Christianity, by Frank J. Tipler.
    Claims to be Physics written on a popular level, but is a good bit above that. If you've never read on quantum physics, you might be lost from the 5th page.

    Deals with singularities, and tries to demonstrate how that witnesses to the fact of a Trinity. Also deals at length with quantum mechanics and wave-particle theory, including constructive and destructive wave interference. Also discusses a theory of a "multiverse of universes" which I'm not sure I could ever buy into.

    I'm in the third chapter, and he has yet to do much to tie his theories in to how physics attest to the truths of Christianity. Will give him a bit more time, maybe he needs to lay a good deal of groundwork.

    Caffeine by Ryan Grabow available at http://www.egrabow.com/rm.php?e=Caffeine or search for it at http://manybooks.net

    "This is the official page for my debut novel, Caffeine. I am branding it as "my unashamed attempt at Philosophical (Christian) Science Fiction," which is indeed what it began as."

    "Brandon Dauphin feels like a dying ember. He’s jobless and feels worthless, and falling in love has only made his problem worse. In an authoritarian and overstimulated 22nd-century America, all he can do to relieve his pain is indulge in the computer-simulated fantasies of a network called Dynamic Reality, until a virus takes control of the simulation. Unable to return to the real world, Brandon finds that the virus shares his questions about existence, and that she will stop at nothing for her answers."
