Letter from the Birmingham Jail

| Author | Athanasius of Alexandria |
| ISBN | 0913836400 |
I was pleased to find On the Incarnation remarkably fresh and engaging, still fierce and still passionate too. Such is rarely the case with works of theology, particularly when orthodoxy has robbed them even of the novelty of heresy, for dry-as-dust disquisitions on settled questions often summon...

Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World
| Author | Henri J.M. Nouwen |
| ISBN | 0824519868 |
While I love Nouwen, I was disappointed by this work. I found it to be a beautiful depiction of the Gospel message with one vital omission: Christ. He speaks of us as being (like the bread of the Eucharist) taken, blessed, broken, and given. It is a wonderful way of presenting the role we play in this world,...

| Author | Alexander McCall Smith |
| ISBN | 1846972531 |
As a comic novelist myself, I really ought to hate Alexander McCall Smith. Not because of his extraordinary success, though that's undeniably enviable; nor even because of his ability to churn out fine novels with a regularity that would shame a sausage machine; but because of the sheer facility with...
