So far, I&#8217;m enjoying it a lot.<\/li>\n<li><i>Dug Down Deep<\/i> by Joshua Harris<br \/>\nMy progress on this book has ground to a halt as each of us in this book club have gotten uber-busy with school starting up again, a couple of us getting new\/additional jobs, etc.  Don&#8217;t know when (or if) we&#8217;ll be finishing it up.  For those who&#8217;ve been wanting my opinion on it, since my review from a second read-through appears to be still a long way into the distance, I like this book a lot.  That&#8217;s why I suggested it for book club read-through.  Most of what Harris shares is just plain Orthodox evangelical doctrine&#8211;but it&#8217;s a good broad overview of Christian theology and why &#8220;average Joe&#8221; Christians ought to study it. <\/li>\n<li><i>A Farewell to Arms<\/i> by Ernest Hemingway<br \/>\nI  quoted this in yesterday&#8217;s <a href=\"blog\/2010\/20100927-5100.htm\">Week in Words post<\/a><\/li>\n<li><i>Founding Faith<\/i> by Steven Waldman<br \/>\nI&#8217;m nearing the end of this book.

I promise.<\/li>\n<li><i>The Kingdom of God is Within You<\/i> by Leo Tolstoy<br \/>\nA new book for my politically\/theologically inclined book club.  I&#8217;m so glad Randy decided to take up the baton and get us going for a second go-round.
