Recently Read and Recommended

Great reads, these:



When Sinners Say "I Do": Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage -- by Dave Harvey --

I think this is the best book on marriage I've ever read. Dave's a fine writer, often humorous, and always honest and transparent. His book helps us center marriage on Christ and the cross in a thorough, daily way.



China Road: A Journey into the Future of a Rising Power -- by Rob Gifford --

Fascinating, highly informative, and extremely well written. For six years, Gifford (a Christian) was the head correspondent for NPR in China, and he's been a lifelong fan of China. This book looks especially at the changes now taking hold in the common people of China, who will ultimately determine her destiny.

Tolkien: Author of the Century -- by T. A. Shippey --

A must read if you're a Tolkien fan. Shippey will help you appreciate more than ever Tolkien's talents and labor, and especially all that went into the creation of The Lord of the Rings.
