Why?<BR/><BR/><I>Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern Libertarian Movement</I> by Brian Doherty. Because I didn't realize how many people I had heard of were deeply connected with each other. Also it made me want to study Austrian Economics.<BR/> 2. What is one of your favorite childhood books?<BR/><I>The Voyage of the Dawn Treader</I>. I just re-read it recently. I always liked Reepicheep, but he struck me as an even better character than I had remembered.<BR/> 3. Do you have a favorite book of the Bible? Do tell!<BR/>Genesis. We did a marathon reading once at church. Amazing book to take in through your ears in a single sitting.<BR/> 4. What is one book you could read again and again?<BR/><I>The Everlasting Man</I> by G.K. Chesterton.<BR/> 5. Is there a book you would suggest for Lenten reading? What is it and why?<BR/><I>Let God Be God</I> by Philip Watson. Deep theology that will warm your heart like a devotional book is supposed to.solarbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506179756577015681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-27621278904750702642008-01-18T21:29:00.000-06:002008-01-18T21:29:00.000-06:00Yes, I expect I'll revisit Middle Earth any number...Yes, I expect I'll revisit Middle Earth any number of times, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-41193783686146312252008-01-18T19:23:00.000-06:002008-01-18T19:23:00.000-06:00although, you know, I have read the Hammer of God,...although, you know, I have read the Hammer of God, and liked it way back then.<BR/><BR/>but, I'm Swedish too.<BR/><BR/>Read Kite Runner last year and loved it.Diane M.

Cool. Okay, here's what I'm gonna say:<BR/><BR/>"I have read many books in my life, and this is definitely one of them. With this work, Rev. Johnson has constructed a narrative that sets him apart from his colleagues—many of whom are distinguished, and great writers to boot. I couldn’t recommend this book any more heartily—read it, and you too will be able to say that you reached the end of it."LutheranHuskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982382351776657088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-52055471480947174872008-01-18T14:26:00.000-06:002008-01-18T14:26:00.000-06:00oh i waded thru The Hammer of God once upon a time...oh i waded thru The Hammer of God once upon a time... gotta be lutheran to fully get some of it i'd say. all that swedish...<BR/><BR/>LP, Tripp & Matt would do excellent reviews... but where's the women? just sayin...Hot Cup Lutheranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125425492709186198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20942227.post-3885048123336611172008-01-18T12:51:00.000-06:002008-01-18T12:51:00.000-06:00You are the second person to suggest Hammer of God...You are the second person to suggest Hammer of God. Have to check it out- even as a RevGal, but mainly as a Lutheran. BTW kids really do not get less labor-intensive, it just changes. Like your book idea, but of course my blogname probably says that.
