pickSince it doesn't yet have a post:
These men confront not each other, but the issues of apocalyptic perspective, abortion, women in the Church, violence and much more. They recognize these issues not as polemics to be tossed back and forth for endless bantering, but as fundamental to outlining a definition of “humanity.“ Both men are scholars and people of faith, aware of the cultural and social millieu around them. Excellent.

I just got a new phone and Litsy didn't transfer. I went to download from app store and it's not there. Can anyone help me.
pickThis is a book for everyone, so you don‘t have to believe in something specific in order to read it. I liked it more the second time I read it. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He diversified the religions or his interviews. There are no conversion requirements. I am still not religious, but I feel like it was worth reading.
pickThis was dense but oh, so very good. Probably one of the best books I‘ve ever read. William James, a psychologist of the pragmatic tradition tackles religion in a series of lectures. His argument, drawing from the accounts of countless psychologists, authors, swamis, theologians, philosophers, laymen and madmen, convinces that objective seeking of the why and whereabouts of a god ring useless next to subjective religious experience.
pickInteresting book (500+ pages) I would have liked to read more slowly, but the library wanted it back.
Science and religion are not the mutually-unintelligible strangers/enemies they're often assumed to be, but more like siblings who at various times support and want to throttle one another, with frequent squabbles over house room. NS has it all boil down to two questions: "What is the nature of man?"* and "Who has the authority to decide?"
pickOne of the best things about “The God Delusion“ in audiobook form is that its arguments are just as relevant now as they were when first published. And it offers a scientific and reason-based approach to the concept of spirituality.....

I decided I needed to read this book again. Unfortunately I gave away my copy years ago. #ThriftBooks to the rescue!
