O jeez, I do not want a sad book. I usually do not read much fiction. But picked this one up.

Tea with Hezbollah by Ted Dekker and Carl Medearis.

It's an interesting book that teaches a genuinely Christian ethic, decorated with some mildly warped Christian theology.

They go around the world, drink tea, and interview some of the people that would scare Christians the most --- and get some surprising results. (Jesus did say to "love your enemy" in Matt 5 ---- and he was really clear about what that meant).

That said, I think Ted Dekker has some bizarre ideas about Jesus - (he wasn't crucified for promoting peace - although it did irritate some of the leaders from his time). I'm willing to set those issues aside - at least long enough to read the book.

I do think that we should be taught to love our enemies (a lesson many of us seem unable or unwilling to learn).

As Riv mentioned above, I'm nearly finished with Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley,
and also have started a book called Betty Cries, by a friend of mine Jim Leyshon. I
am intentionally crawling through Old Path, White Clouds by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Anyone who want a very interesting book, read 'This Present Darkness' by Frank Peretti. It deals with spirtual warfare, and it will keep you hooked. The only book I have read more than twice.

Since I just got around to it, and wanted to read it before I saw the movie -

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (methinks movie will be a lot different than book) Just finished.

Stack awaiting my attention:

book on Sand Creek Massecre
Bite M by Christopher Moore
Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters
American Fantastic Tales:terror and the uncanny anthology
Digging Up the Dead:A History of Notable American Reburials byMichael Kammen
Denver's Extraordinary Faithhealing Messiah by Bill Blanning
The Winds of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson (carrying on dad's work)
Children of the Western Plains by Marilyn Irvin Holt
A book about graves of the infamous in the west, which is currently buried at the bottom of a bag and I'm too lazy to get.

And a book's worth of research on Jennie Rogers and Mattie Silks, andother book's worth on various towns and Soapy Smith. These I have to read first.

Just finished Stephen White's 'Dead Time.' One of his more interesting books, I thought.

Before vacation, I was reading 'Mayflower' by Nathaniel Philbrick, left off at part 4 to do some lazy reading. I'll go back to it next.
