For someone who doesn't enjoy romantic novels, The Time Traveler's Wife won me over.

The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin
The Janissary Tree

Kirk, March 8, 2009

Goodwin creates a wonderful world for a mystery series. Every character he introduces makes it more interesting. I can't wait to read the subsequent books.

Insight Dialogue: The Interpersonal Path to Freedom by Gregory Kramer
Insight Dialogue: The Interpersonal Path to Freedom

Kirk, September 15, 2007

This was the first book I've read which explained meditation in a way that I could easily understand. It's also for those who don't feel that their relationships are as fulfilling as they'd like for them to be. It will teach them compassion as they gain wisdom during meditation.

The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher by Debby Applegate
The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher

Kirk, July 16, 2007

A highly readable biography of a man who changed the way we practice and view Christianity in America. His orations and preachings throughout the country made him a 19th century superstar. The scandal late in his life is reminiscent of Jim Bakker. Applegate won the Pulitzer Prize for this biography.
