Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Finished recently:
Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan (finally... started this series in January)
Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis
The first Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson
Listening right now:
Making Sense of God: an Invitation to the Skeptical, Timothy Keller
William Lane Craig's Defenders series (not sure that counts as a book, but close enough)
Next on the list:
Miracles, Eric Metaxas
Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, Eric Metaxas
How Should We Then Live?, Francis Schaeffer
The second Mistborn trilogy, as soon as the first book is available from the library
I'm on the library waiting list for quite a few audiobooks, mostly fiction. Good non-fiction, especially theology, is hard to find on audiobook.Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

Updated edition of The Strong-Willed Child, Dr. James Dobson (Rational Gaze wants kids, I fully expect them to be like him.)
A Peculiar Glory, John Piper

Audiobook
We Are Legion
32603222._UY200_.jpg
Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.
Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty.
The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.

Pretty humorous book.

The Four Loves, C.S. Lewis
God's Not Dead, Rice Broocks
Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments For God Just Don't Add Up, John Allen Paulos (This one was pretty bad. I had never heard of the author but the title intrigued me, so I got it. The author should have read a few books before writing one.)
The Complete Bible Answer Book, Hank Hanegraaf
The Everlasting Man, G. K. Chesterton (I ended up skipping this one only 5% in. I just could not follow his train of thought. Maybe I'd do better with a print copy.)
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi
Right now I am catching up on the Naked Bible podcast, and then I'll pick up where I've left off on my book list.Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.
