Books

Warning: I have many books listed here, they are each good in a specific context. For instance, I may like a certain writer's stance on a certain issue, but not agree with his theology. It is best to ask me personally.

nothing like a list of books to thrill me from head to heart to toes! you've got a great resource here - keep passing on the word about your library!

i've finished reading "Basic Christianity". but alas, classes have started, & it will take much longer to finish "Why I Still Believe".

oh, & i forgot to get "Cross-Centred Life" from you, but i'm sure i can borrow it from someone here in Brisbane.
