I think you, Abraham, would like Nick Hornby’s The Polysyllabic Spree. There are a FEW references to breasts, but still, it’s good.

The Philosopher's Playground is a very good place to spur up good discussions, even if I don't agree with most of the points of view purveyed.

Picked up a new release at the library on my day off.

It’s quite amusing (but some language is bad).

Title:
Quiet Please: Dispatches from a Public Librarian

Author has a great sense of humor that has left me LOL many times.

A book called Graffiti – Learning to see the art in ourselves. Although it was written by my lovely wife as a youth pastor I know it is a must have for the girls in my ministry and for women of all ages.

Urgency to Rise – a call to the American ‘church’ by Jeremy B. Strang

This book is a challenge to every professing Christian in America. Will the challege be answered?

“It is my Urgent cry that all professing Christians respond to God’s calling and seek to understand the deeper truths of Jesus Christ. In the future, American Christians will face physical persecution and the immanent righteous judgment of God will be fulfilled. No one knows the exact moment these truths will begin, therefore there should be a real Urgency to Rise and turn to the full truth of our Lord and Savior. This book is written to shock dead hearts, through the power of the Holy Spirit, into new life. Every professing Christian should examine their faith, understand their depravity apart from God, seek the Lord with all diligence and put their faith into tangible action. The Urgency to Rise is upon us!”

There are quotes and thoughts in this book from John Piper, Paul Washer, Jeff Noblit and others. The message in this book is not easy, but it is necessary.

The Hawk and the Dove, by Penelope Wilcock.

This is a absolutely beautiful story about redemption and repentance and day-to-day faith. It is about a monsastery of Benedictine monks and their learning to live together and to love each other and God. If you love George Macdonald, you’ll love this book. The writing quality is also very excellent.

Knuffle Bunny is good; so is practically EVERYTHING by Sandra Boynton! In particular, I'm referring to Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!, Birthday Monsters, But Not The Hippopotamus and Blue Hat, Green Hat—oh, and her A to Z is great, despite the generic title. Yes, the young Seitlers in our home are fed generous portions of Boynton. It's part of a healthy diet! (Hmm, maybe I need to check out that Jennifer McLagan book mentioned above...)

“The Last Year of the War” by Shirley Nelson. A powerful novel about a girl’s “dark night of the soul” during her first semester at a thinly veiled Moody Bible Institute in the 1940′s. Well written and spiritually rich.

Abraham, you might like SAVE ME FROM MYSELF, the recent autobiography of Brian “Head” Welch, the former lead guitarist of Korn. It is the story of his accent in metal music, his descent into drugs, and his turning to Christ. I picked it up off the shelf at the library for a long flight to Africa.
