The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life von Terryl Givens
This book is so dense that I had to read it in chunks, as opposed to my usual devouring approach. Both Terryl and Fiona Givens are academics, so it's no surprise their vocabulary takes some getting used to (especially when I spend most of my time reading YA fiction). But I loved so much about this book--they bring in poets, philosophers, religious scholars across faiths to paint a picture of an accessible and loving God.

I really really do read more than religious non-fiction. This was assigned for a directed readings class I'm in and it does a nice job straddling lines. I love the scholarship that was obviously involved in the creation.
But I still like Chesterton and Lewis better (as far as original thought is concerned). But this was well worth the 4 stars.

The Christ Who Heals explains why words like “judge”, “sin” and “advocate” can either draw us closer to Christ and God the Father, or push us away. I discuss it on the Jesus in Books podcast: http://jesusinbooks.com/getting-to-the-true-character-of-god/
Another wonderful book by Terryl and Fiona. I review it on my podcast Jesus in Books: http://jesusinbooks.com/mystery-behind-meekness/
