Summer Reading from our Facebook Fans

Kelly Baker

As most of you know, I am attempting to corral our readers via facebook with discussion and links to our blog. The discussion has been good, and our facebook fans have let us know what they are reading this summer. It seems that many of them are like me with a revolving list of books that I need to somehow get to while finishing various projects and/or hanging out with a toddler, who could care less about American religious history unless it involves Shrek or Elmo.
