Subject: Reading
- Denny Bolen:I have just finished Don Johnson’s (friend from church) book, How to Talk to a Skeptic. Great read and helpful because I’ve never interacted with people about their world view. Plus I’m very jealous of him having such a great agent. I’m now reading Amanda Luedeke’s book, The Extroverted Writer…very interesting and contains great book marketing ideas.
- Eleanor Lugo: I loved When The Heart Waits by Sue Monk Kidd.
- Michael Mendoza:
Michael Mendoza I am currently reading Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity by Nancy Pearcey. Her thesis is that Christians have fallen into the trap of secular v spiritual dichotomy which is a faulty worldview. The Christian worldview is a total world view that touches every area of life. Our views of career choices, science, history, culture and presuppositions must be captive to the word of God. One interesting point she made when writing about Christian view of molecular biology is that a single cell was once considered the most simple form of life, but recently scientists have discovered that the simplest single cell is packed with information. What makes this interesting, as she said, is that the word LOGOS in the Bible can also be translated information. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. Through Him all things were made.” Surely, this should be on the Christian’s mind when we study science.

Carol Karaszsewski My selections from 100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library for this month included Slaughterhouse Five and a reread of Catcher in the Rye (why did they make us read that in high school???). From the NY Times NF Best Seller list I read Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson. For entertainment I indulged in Full Black, Foreign Influence and The Apolstle by Brad Thor and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.
