More Lost Than Found
On 1/3 flaming-sword wrote: I have been reading “More Lost than Found: Finding a Way Back to Faith” by Jared Herd.

Why God Won't Go Away
On 7/27 flaming-sword wrote: Why God Won’t Go Away was a good book, and took me some time to get through because of how much of a thinker it was.

So Encouraging and an Excellent Reference
