The Mystery of Marriage by Mike Mason - deep meditations on the meaning of marriage; subjects include love, otherness, vows, intimacy, submission, death, etc.

A Man Called Norman by Mike Adkins - a classic story of what it means to love our neighbor.

A Christian's Response to Islam by James L. Garlow - the basic history and beliefs of Islam and how Christians should and should not respond to Muslims.

Thought for the day:
"A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face...It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy."
- Edward P. Morgan (American journalist)
