Here are a few of the best books I read this year:
1. "The Devil in the White City" Erik Larson. Magic and murder at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Hands down one of the most fascinating books I've ever read! Filled with the kind of detail and coincidence that makes for intriguing reading. National Book Award Winner
2. "In the Heart of the Sea" Nathaniel Philbrick. Another National Book Award Winner. Before the Titanic, this was the disaster everyone knew about. The tragedy that inspired Melville's Moby Dick. Thoroughly enthralling.
3. "Grace (Eventually)" Anne Lamott. The same razor wit, wicked humor, and honest humanity you'd expect from her, only better.
4. "Searching for God Knows What" Donald Miller. Like Lamott, honest, humorous, and insightful musings about life, religion, and Jesus. This time around, about a relational God.
5. "girl meets God" Lauren Winner. The engaging and often heartbreaking account of the author's journey from Judaism to Christianity (and sometimes back again), filled with interesting and personal perspectives about both faiths from the lenses of the other.
