  1. Amy (Hope is in the Word) keeps hollering about Unbroken as well. Thinkin’ I shall run off and buy it soon enough. =D

    Heard that the book blogger get-together was a hit! Can’t wait to hear more about it!

  2. Seth,

    I’ll be writing about Orthodoxy in a week or two during my Lenten series: 40 Inspirational Classics. Short version: entertaining paradox and verbal gymnastics, some of the controversies are somewhat dated. Recommended nevertheless.
