reason for God, by tim keller. i've been holding off on reading this ever since l'abri because i've just had so many other things to read! the plan is to start this over spring break (and finish over break?) so hopefully that can happen. i think i've been so excited to read this because i've heard such great things about it--that keller makes a very compelling case for God in a way that is relevant to our culture. i'm looking forward to seeing how this will help me in talking to people who really don't know God, and how my perspective will be enlightened.
the mark of a christian, by francis schaeffer. i got this book as a gift for valentine's day because the mark of a christian is... love! "it is possible to be a christian without showing the mark, but if we expect non-christians to know that we are christians, we must show the mark." whether we want to acknowledge it or not, christians do leave a mark on the world. sometimes we fail, sometimes not, but we need to respond to it with compassion and with a love and a unity that surpasses all else. i'm excited to read this short 59 page book. 
by demonstration: God, by wade bradshaw. i started this book yesterday, so it's not officially on deck, but it's on first base. so far, this book has been great. it's describing "fifty years and a week at l'abri," so it's all about the daily functionings of l'abri as well as some stories of the people who have come. i love the ideas it brings up and the daily demonstration of a reliance on the reality of God. fiction-wise i'm not sure yet, but i'm open to suggestions.
