What's NewSome New Titles
PHILIP GULLEY, who will be addressing the FGC Gathering in Bowling Green Ohio this summer has a new book out. Provocatively titled “IF THE CHURCH WERE CHRISTIAN”. His contention is that Jesus had no intention of “founding” a church or indeed so many different churches after his death. And that the doings and machinations of the churches have gotten in the way of his message and his life. Like his previous books this can be expected to upset some folks as well as inspire others
Another of our customer’s favorite authors is JIM WALLIS and his new book REDISCOVERING VALUES: ON WALL STREET, MAIN STREET, AND YOUR STREET asks some very simple questions like “How does spending money we don't have for things we don't need make for a good foundation for an economy or a family.” He finds answers that might improve the economic well being of Americans (and the whole world) more than the conventional Wall Street wisdom. Lastly something more than a tad lighter FLOWERS FROM THE STORM is a mass market romance novel, but I have now found three blogs that think it one of the best romance novels ever written. The notorious “Rakehell” the Duke of Jervaulx has a mental breakdown and finds himself recovering in a Quaker Asylum being nursed by the timid Quaker girl Maddy Timms. Don’t ask me if it is really that good as I have yet to read it, but if you do – please let me know.
