by Gwynne Dyer
A
comprehensive overview of the subject of war. Dyer looks at the origins
of war, its history and development, and its meaning for human
civilization. It is both fascinating and disturbing. Thankfully it ends
on a somewhat hopeful note, but not before describing the horror of
'total war' - primarily illustrated by the two World Wars of the
Twentieth Century.

Take This Bread: The Spiritual Memoir of a Twenty-first- Century Christian
by Sara Miles
Perhaps the most interesting and unexpected conversion story I've come across. But as interesting as the conversion was, it is what follows that was both impressive and inspiring. Sara understands Communion to be more than a rite safe in the sanctuary, but rather a meal that transforms the sanctuary, and the people in it, to be servants of others. How she lives this out is inspiring.
