Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxis (Nelson)

The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell (Random House)
“Honestly, I’m just not sure I have it in me to properly criticize a book by an author in possession of such a vast imagination/brain. I don’t think that with his latest book, Mitchell has created something perfect, but it sure is a beautiful (!!!), original, great story.” -Susie read more
“Great works, the likes of which this book is moving towards, in any artistic medium usually leave me with my mouth open only wishing to express my gratitude for their hard work and time they spent to give me this experience. READ DAVID MITCHELL.” -John P read more
Year of Our Lord by T. R. Pearson and Langdon Clay (Mockingbird)
“Year of Our Lord is about so many things: the amazing journey of Lucas McCarty and his decision to join an all black church and leave behind his Episcopalian upbringing, a little church out in the Delta with no signage but a heart bigger than you can imagine. It is about hope and community and loving others just the way they are.” -Lisa read more
