Orphans of the Sky - Robert Heinlein. I read a few pages of this - I'm about halfway through the book. Old fashioned science fiction. From a time when people were easily shocked by things that were different (mutants, loose morals, whatever). I enjoy Heinlein (not his brain tumour era, though). This book wonders how people would be if they had grown up on a world-size spaceship, with little historical memory of how they came to be there.
Proclaiming our Faith Workbook - TEE College I have to read this for my phase one studies. Very lightweight - but there is a legitimate place for that. I read carefully those bits that pertain to culture (which could be useful for my Masters dissertation) and about funerals.
God is Closer Than You Think - John Ortberg I'm rereading this - for maybe the fourth or fifth time. It still reminds me that 'it's all about Jesus'. I read about Job and 'winter in the Christian life'.
James ch 2 & 3. I'm doing a programme that takes you through the Bible in three years put together by Tim Chester. I'd put in a link, but last time I looked the document was not there. James pulls no punches in his writing. He tells it like he sees it. That is refreshing. Paul writes in a contorted way sometimes. James 2 says that faith without deeds is dead.
