Notes From Various Books

Every now and then, I take notes on a book if it offers up such well-expressed insight that I know I'll want to review it later, or of course, if it is borrowed from a friend and she wants it back! Anyway, I thought that these bits and pieces might help someone know whether or not they might like one of these selections, or at least, to just enjoy the notes themselves.

• Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?
  by David Bentley Hart (problem of evil)

• Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading by Eugene Peterson (mix of subjects by the theologian who did the NT paraphrase The Message)

• One Life Solution: Reclaim Your Personal Life While Achieving Greater Personal Success by Henry Cloud [on general life principles]

• People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil by M. Scott Peck (problem of evil)

• The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth by M. Scott Peck [life principles]
