I am reading lots of books right now because of classes, but the most influential and engaging one I am reading is called Love Your God With All Your Mind: The Role of Reason in the Life of the Soul by J.P. Moreland.

Other than scripture I pretty much only read fantasy/science fiction novels. So at the moment, I'm reading "The Demon Apostle" by R.A. Salvatore. Catchy title isn't it?;)

But, I am trying to broaden my horizons a little, so I'm also slowly making my way through "Beyond Convictions to Belief" by Josh McDowell. If the statistics are even half close to what this books tells, then there's a lot of people going to be surprised when they see God and He says, "depart, for I never knew you!"

I am "trying to start" this book for English called The Secret Sharer. The most recent finish was the 6th Harry Potter Book.

Philokalia--Collection of early Christian writings

Soul Eater--Mike Resnick

I generally have a fiction (usually SF/Fantasy) and non-fiction going at the same time.

The movie "The Order" with Heath Ledger has something to do with soul eating, but I don't know if it's the same.

I forgot to mention I'm about to start reading Grimm's Fairy Tales--Their original versions.

I am reading a book by one of the Women of Faith speakers Thelma Wells. I have been to two Women of Faiths conferences in Atlanta and loved every minute of them.

I love that book, I read it for an online class at www.bible.org (http://www.bible.org)

Who Moved My Cheese?

Had to read that book for work when I was at Gateway Computers. Didn't care for it much. We also had to watch the video that goes with it. It was cheesy to say the least, no pun intended.

Relativism:Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air by Greg Koukl and Francis Beckwith

Awesome book.

Awesome book.

I'm reading a book about the Reformation. The title is "Reformation - Europe's House Divided 1490 - 1700". Written by Diarmaid MacCulloch. The book won the Wolfsen Prize for History 2004.
I have been reading this book during my lunch hour at work and I have not been disappointed with it so far (I'm a history buff so I may be biased!). It is not a Christian book per se but it is a evenhanded book. I would recommend it for Christians.

_Rumors of Another World_ by Philip Yancey

I'm not in a book-reading mode these days, much. Last fiction was _I Am Charlotte Simmons_ by Wolfe. Last fiction that left me gasping for more was Kritzer's _Freedom's Apprentice_.

I just bought this book yesterday and started reading it. This seems like a good overview of the Reformation, which is what I was looking for. So far the histories I've read related to the Reformation have been focused on one particular aspect or person.

I'm also finishing up "John Winthrop: America's Forgotten Founding Father" by Francis Bremer, which is very good.

And I've recently purchased and begun "The Life and Times of Cotton Mather" by Kenneth Silverman.

Another book I've been reading recently is Augustine's "Confessions," which I started over a year ago, but never finished.

I just started trying to read "In His Steps" for the third or so time. Everytime I start, something comes up and I don't finish it. hoepfully, this time I can. I also like flipping through non-fiction books. Currently, flipping through "Kingdom of the Cults" ?? I think is the title. Interesting pieces about the "other" religions.

Same here. I bought a really old translation of Confessions and I just couldn't get through the english. Currently looking for a newer translation.
