Summer of Reading – Week 4

This week was another slack week for me – as far as reading goes, at least. Partly to blame is that I decided to start watching my Buffy DVDs again. ::Sheepish grin::

So I only read 2 books this week, which brings my 4 week total to 21 books.

First, I read Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. This was the second time I’d read this one, but it affected me so much more than it did the first time. It’s a Christian non-fiction book that could probably best be categorized as Christian living. All I can really do is recommend it (you can see excerpts from the book here, here, and here).

Then I read a Christian fiction novel called A Skeleton in God’s Closetby Paul L. Maier. This was also the second time I’d read this book (the first time was several years ago). It’s a novel about an archeaological dig that allegedly finds the bones of Jesus. It goes into what would happen to the world if the foundation of the Christian faith (the resurrection) is proven false. It’s a stressful book to read, that’s for sure, but well worth the read.
