Book Reviews
The Universal Christ (Book Review with Quotes)
He went to bat for things I care about: stewardship of the environment, women as spiritual leaders, original innocence and goodness, and Jesus as the way-shower of the highest ideal, rather than a mistake fixer for God, or God himself. This book deserves applause for all that.

Looking for something lighthearted while not stupid? You might enjoy this one.
