Clapton: The Autobiography
I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.”
With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring...

| Author | Francis Chan |
| ISBN | 1434767957 |
In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately,...
Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty
| Author | Morris Kline |
| ISBN | 0195030850 |
For what it's worth, the correct title is Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty, not just "Mathematics" -- and omitted line matters as it is this, truly that the book is about.

The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism
| Author | Edward Feser |
| ISBN | 1587314517 |
"The central contention of the "New Atheism" of Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens is that the centuries-old "war between science and religion" is now over and that religion has lost. But as Edward Feser shows in The Last Superstition, there is not, and never has...

| Author | David VanDrunen |
| ISBN | 0802864430 |
A great read on the subject matter. Covers the historical views from the early Church and pre-Reformation up to modern times.

| Author | Jonathan Edwards |
| ISBN | 0851514855 |
Very interesting. I'm going to be thinking for a long time about three ideas from this book: 1) that we do not truly love God if we have no actual affection for him in our hearts. Dutiful obedience is not love, knowledge about the things of God is not love. Love is love. 2) Edwards' idea that true love for God...

The Light that Shines in the Darkness
In the 1950s, A. W. Tozer saw the enemy within the church as the Evangelical Rationalists: those who believed that divine truth was confined to words and creeds, and if you held the right opinion on the stated propositions, you had the truth. Today there is...
Eyes That See, Ears That Hear: Perceiving Jesus in a Postmodern Context
| Author | James P. Danaher |
| ISBN | 0764814095 |
In his book, James Danaher successfully shows that a post-modern perspective, which questions the cultural, historical, and linguistic presuppositions involved in interpreting the Gospels, frees us to hear anew the culturally subversive, yet ultimately transformative message of Jesus' Good...
