Free Press, 2006
An Honest Discussion by a Leading Scientist
+ Interesting synthesis of science and religion + Not Convinced Yet
Francis Collins is perhaps the world's leading scientist. His writing defeats the myth that science and religion are not compatible. They actually are similar in methodology and in their concern for truth.

Enrique's Journey 51 reviews Sonia Nazario
Random House, 2006
Enrique's Journey
+ Enrique's Journey + An Enlightenment
This book was hard to put down as well as hard to read. It evoked the full range of emotions. The inhumanity of some mixes with the incredible generosity of others. It is a story of the best and the worst that humans can be. It puts a human face on the problem of immigration. You will never look at ...

Where God Was Born: A Journey by Land to the Roots of Religion 24 reviews Bruce Feiler
William Morrow, 2005
Very Interesting and Enlightening
+ Where God Was Born + Great physical & spiritual walk, but in the end reverts to the secular
Since I have a great interest in Israel, Iran and Iraq at this time, I was very pleased to read a present day personal account of Bruce Feiler's journey to those places. He made me feel as though I was there with him in each instance. I appreciated his spiritual search as well.
