The Jesus Quest: The Third Search for the Jew of Nazareth
Witherington's book is a bit outdated now that a few years have passed; however, it is still a good introduction to the value of Jesus studies. Skeptics may not like his obviously critical approach towards much of the scholarship that he presents; however, this is without a doubt the most conservative-friendly introduction there is out there. The greatest strength about Witherington's book is that it can appeal to conservative Christians and open many up to critical scholarship--I've seen this happen ot many friends to whom I've loaned the book. Thus, it is a great door through which to walk into the larger world of NT biblical criticism, which I believe has a great deal of potential in tempering some of the extreme, ridiculous tendencies present in conservative Christianity.
A Warm Moist Salty God: Women Journeying Towards Wisdom
Ms Gateley seeks to redress the imbalance in our traditional Catholic / Christian view as God. The Judge, the stern Father, the remote.She shows God's "warm, moist, salty" side, Her feminine side. (Doesn't the title evoke incredible memories of freshly baked bread being taken from the oven, its fragrance and tastes lingering in memory for years!)The book is short and segmented. It can be taken in small easily digestable bites, or raced through with glee and delight.If you want a different view, a different approach to God, if you wonder why God seems so far off and unattuned to your wavelength, give this book a chance. It's on my gift list.
A Warm Moist Salty God: Women Journeying Towards Wisdom
I enjoy Edwina Gateley's poetry and have many of her books. What makes this book so very special is her story of meeting a Beudouin woman in the desert. The title is a delightful look at what is held inside.

Diary of a sit-in
This is one of the best, most sensitive accounts of the early days of the civil rights movement written by a teacher and philosopher. In some ways, the ideas are sadly dated: His personal debate over what to do when a young tough flicked a cigarette onto his overcoat -- what is the proper non-violent response? -- may seem antique in the days of Dirty Harry but is a window on our lost ability to reason ethically. This book is highly recommended -- a hidden gem.
