Eclectic reading

Today is library day. We go to the public library in Appleton in the 45 minutes between Wild Man's reading lesson and the kids' piano lessons. During the week, we sometimes also go to the library in our small town and the nearby larger town, but I love the Appleton library because it is larger and I can spend time browsing. Today, I checked out five very different items.

1. "God Wills It" Understanding the Crusades - Lecture series by Modern Scholar. I have listened to several of these lecture series and loved them. I hope the kids will listen in on this one since we're studying the Middle Ages.

2. This Common Secret by Susan Wicklund - The autobiography of an abortion doctor.

3. My Fundamentalist Education by Christine Rosen - The story of one woman's childhood education in a Fundamentalist Christian school.

4. The King James Only Controversy by James R. White - An overview of the arguments about using only the King James translation of the Bible.

5. Revolution by George Barna - Why are so many Christians abandoning church?

The next few weeks promise to be quite interesting as I delve into my new set of books. Have I mentioned how much I love the library?
