What was the last book you read and what was special about it?
My last book was The Shack. I found it to be very well written and some challenging concepts of God and God's love/mercy. I especially was challenged with my limited view of God. I was forced to see God as greater than my ability to describe Him.
I was also emotionally spent when I finished the book. Sections tackled some really tough questions about life, death, and life in between.
How about you?

my last book was in 8th grade! :-) Just kidding of course. WHEN SALT LAKE CITY CALLS is what I am presently reading. It gives a detailed history of the Mormon church's influence on political leaders. I am preparing to go back to Utah for a 5 month stay and I try and take one or 2 saturdays a month and go to the "temple" area in Salt lake and have discussions with the missionaries there. I am finding that you cannot discuss beliefs with them and get anywhere so this time I am going to just show them that Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were false prophets, liars and gangsters using documented information to prove it. I am going to try and have handouts available for them to go resarch themselves this time too. The book itself came out during the last primaries since Romney is a Mormon.
The last book I read (and currently reading over) is Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. It's a book about overcoming the negative thoughts that creep into our minds, and ways to take back control of your thoughts.
It has really helped me in my walk to becoming a better man, husband, father, and Christian. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get closer to God. You don't have to be struggling in the "mind department" to take away lots of great information.

I am reading Liberty's Blueprint by Michael Meyerson. This book centers on Alexander Hamilton and James Madison and how they wrote the Federalist Papers to encourage the adoption of our Constitution. The book also delves into their personalities, leadership style and how their relationship changed over the course of their careers. The author also discusses the importance of the Federalist Papers, and how they reflect our country's history and philosophy.

I read all day long for employment attached to a mouse and computer, therefore other than glazing over golf publications, not into the reading book thing! Funny even as a kid, I always read the last chapter of a book 1st, then glazed over the remainder, bsc my Mom made me read during summer vacation. Maybe that's why I have a hard time with a longer style service. I guess it's a little ADD thing! Cut to the chase type-of- person. - HA!
