Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book
| Author | Walker Percy |
| ISBN | 0312253990 |
I have read and reread this book half a dozen times. No doubt that number will reach a dozen or more during the course of my lifetime.

| ISBN | 0824525035 |
The Rule of Benedict was originally written more than 1,500 years ago. Chittester's book reproduces the rule (73 rules actually)with commentary for the modern reader.
The material is good and I would have given the book five stars if not for Chittester's insistence on making everything "gender...

Speaking Christian: Why Christian Words Have Lost Their Meaning and Power - And How They Can Be Restored
