Fascinating, a must read!

The Great Emergence: How Christianity Is Changing and WhyThe Great Emergence: How Christianity Is Changing and Why by Phyllis A. Tickle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fantastic! It is a must read for anyone at all interested in Western Christianity, from those who are believers in it, to those who are disgusted with it. This book provides a broad yet detailed survey/overview of the significant changes underway in Western and North American Christianity, with just the right amount of depth; not too shallow, and not too detailed. It traces the history of the major turning points for Christianity, and relates them to the changes taking place now. That being said, the author covers much material which i found fascinating and interesting. I found myself not wanting to put it down. This is the best book I've read on this subject. It is excellent, and a must read!

over-the-top outrageously zany!

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's GuideThe Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide by Douglas Adams

I'm on page 471 of 815 of The Ultimate Hitchhiker's:

This story is over-the-top outrageously zany! This particular volume is a collection of 6 shorter books which are part of the overall story. I've decided to stop halfway thru this collection, after the 3rd book. This is just too much fun to experience in a single reading! I'll pick it up later to finish.
