This week’s Top Ten Tuesday centers on recommendations. This is a tricky subject because of times when people recommend books to me, interest ends with the conversation. I either forget to follow through or know it’s not something I would like.
Nevertheless, I do follow through every once in a while and here is a list of some my favorites. (Interestingly enough, a high number of books on this list are fairly progressive Christian nonfiction.)
1.) A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller
Recommended by: An aquaintence’s blog
2.) Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
Recommended by: Workers and fellow students at L’Abri Fellowship in England
3.) Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers

4.) Love Does by Bob Geoff

5.) The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
