    Brotherhood Of War-W.E.B. Griffin
    Since he is dealing with the military I have to hold my nose because of the vulgarity, but the storytelling is awesome.

    From Plotzk to Boston
    By Mary Antin

    This small, 80 page, book is a fascinating account of the journey of Mary Antin from Russia to the United States in 1889. You can download and read it on your computer, or read it online at:

    http://books.google.com/books?id=qR...CoDDS_v2JYr6M-uvqe4P&cd=3#v=onepage&q&f=false

    I definitely will read her "The Promised Land."

    Ted Dekker's "Red" and "White". One is supposed to read "Black" first, but it wasn't handy. The man has an imagination.

    I haven't decided if he is "good" yet.

    Some of his stuff is too intense for my taste. ("House" and "The Boneman's Daughter") The Circle series(titles above) is more science-fiction/fantasy. More to my taste, though I confess, I'm only reading them because they are what my kids are into at the moment.

    Revolution in World Missions by K.P. Yohannan

    Here is a link a free copy: https://www.gfa.org/offer/freebook/

    He has a valid belief that national christian missionaries should be supported rather than sending western displaced missionaries into remote regions. Nationals are more fluent in the custom and languages of those they are bringing the gospel message to and don't have barriers that are often in the path of western missionaries. Good book.

    His views about american christians and corporate worship and churchs are very humbling.

    I'm reading How To Read the Bible For All Its Worth by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart. It's a great resource for anyone wanting to learn how to better exegete and interpret the Bible for themselves. Great food for thought, too. I recommend it.

    Also trying to read Paulby N.T. Wright. Wright is an amazing scholar, perhaps the foremost New Testament scholar among us today.

    Also working on Mark Noll's     The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind.     Very good stuff.
