I'd recommend also reading Go Set a Watchman to find out if Scout's understanding of people actually does improve with age.

Just ordered to my Kindle - God At War by Greg Boyd. Watch some panel reviews on youtube and looking forward to this book as our teaching pastor is about to start a series on spiritual warfare. Anyone read this book ?

I'd like to read a book on the dangers/ influence of fundamentalism. Anyone have any other titles related?
May pick this book up, but not looking for too much on Mormonism.

I am presently reading, "The Jews in the Time of Jesus", by Stephen M Wylen
He is a Jewish rabbi, writing as a historian. Enlightening.

I'm reading Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson. This is by the founder of Equal Justice Initiatve, a legal practice dedicated to defending the poor and wrongly condemned. There are many stories in it about abuse and wrong condemnation in the US legal system. It's very moving.

Currently reading: The Writings Of Pilgram Marpeck by Klassen. Next on the list, Jorg Maler's Kunstbuch: Writings of the Pilgram Marpeck Circle.

Anybody else on here ever read much of Marpeck or his writings?

Have your read The Life and Times of Jesus, the Messiah? That's his magnum opus. It was originally published in several books, but you can get it as a reprint in one book (about a thousand pages). He has tremendous insight.

Not yet, I have it in my bible program but am looking for a print copy to read when I get done with this current book. Thanks Lester.
