More fun reading!

A good friend of mine recently admitted that he has found reading to be challenging in the season of Covid. I expect that weariness, distraction, and other challenges are contributors.


I inquired in a prior God Calls article about books you have enjoyed in recent months. Here is Nancy Becker’s reply:


“Dear Jennifer,

I have done lots of reading during sheltering.

Here are a few that I thought were exceptional:


The Great Good Thing by Andrew Klavon.  A deep, authentic and intelligent spiritual search by a nominal Jew.  a deep analysis of Christian theology. a very moving memoir


White Fragility:  Why is it so hard for white people to talk about race by Robin Di Angelo.  Sensitive and mind-opening treatment without any angry edge.


Two very good well written and insightful novels:


Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

The One in a Million Boy by Monica Wood


Many blessings, Nancy”


Good book recommendations from respected colleagues are always a gift.  Tell us more, friends.
