Read this weekend:

The Grave Robbers by Michael Hari
Describes the changes in rural Illinois between the 1800s and now in the context of a bizarre crime that the author investigated when he worked for the local police. The book offers an interesting hypothesis for the decay of American culture, namely that American Christianity stopped emphasizing the fallen nature of Man and so stopped seeing a need to fix Man through education and proper family upbringing.

Germania by Tacitus
I read this because I was curious about pre-Christian German customs. It turns out that their morality wasn't far from what the Bible advocates. Their gods were abstract, not idols. And they had strict morals including monogamy and sexual morality.

I was looking for this topic under "Written Word". Found it under "Other".

Evolution's Achilles' Heels

One of the better books of it's sort that I have run across. Nine authors, all PHd's and experienced in their topic.

I am presently reading, "Why I believe" by D. James Kennedy.
Just finished, "The Gospel Code", by Ben Witherington, which is an evangelical response to the Davinci Code, by Dan Brown. Witherington is a well respected scholar.

Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer, which is about the dangers of fundamentalism, specifically within the Mormon church.
I'm also constantly re-reading the book of Romans.

Absolute Surrender by Pablo Yoder. Up next is "A Vision for Kingdom Christianity" by David Robertson. Has anyone read this book? Who is David Robertson?

Read that first one (well, I've read the second, one, too!), and now am reading a similar one on Kindle, "Escape." The leaders figured to follow the originator of the religion closely. We assay to follow "the author and finisher of our faith" closely; not the same.

Neil Anderson's "The bondage Breaker." I am reading it - not yet studying it. Is it good? Is it questionable? Is it beyond question?

David Robertson is a Charity minister from Manitoba. Good brother. I have the book, but haven't got it read yet.

Later Writings of the Swiss Anabaptists, 1529-1592.

I am not yet into the main part of the collection, "A Short, Simple Confession," c. 1590, but so far there is very interesting material in this collection.

My library sometime this year placed nonfiction audiobooks on their own rack, in front of the nonfiction book books. As I am a major fan of the genre, this pleased me greatly. I decided to pick the longest one sitting on the shelf, and consequently ended up with the 33 hour-long 'Clouds of glory : the life and legend of Robert E. Lee'.
