I've also enjoyed reading Christopher Wright's "The God I Don't Understand" and Bauckham's "Jesus and the Eyewitnesses" The best book I’ve read so far this year is “Heaven is a Place on Earth: Why Everything you Do Matters to God” by Michael Wittmer.

I look forward to reading a few of them now. I'm really enjoying Comeback Churches by Stetzer. Great list of books – several that seem off the radar and I’ve not heard of.

I am currently using it in my daily devotions to remind me what is the most important thing. Also, another book I am finding fascinating is "Flannery O'Connor and the Christ-Haunted South," by Ralph C. Wood. Regards, Les Joe,

I am not endorsing anything here. :) And for the record, with a sentence like, "Twilight was well written (you have to admit)" now invites everyone here to engage your pick by pulling quotes from literary critics regarding the merit of the Twilight series. :) Everyone’s recs made it.

"Edwards" and "Twilight." They have a lot in common really. Both are long. Ummmm maybe that's it. But seriously I love Murray's Edwards book and Twilight was well written (you have to admit). Yes!
