Wow, camethodactor. You've been quite busy in the literary world, it seems.
In terms of reading that helps with my faith, the most recent book I've finished is The Fire That Consumes, by Edward Fudge. Comparatively, I read the first half of a book that I believe was meant to refute his conditionalist approach, Death and the Afterlife, but its author Robert Morey is kind of a known jerk with his teachings on TULIP Calvinism and the inherently immortal soul. Anyways, I couldn't read the last half of the book regardless unless I was willing to shell out thirty for the full Kindle edition. It's easier to listen to a teacher's words when he's not judging and name calling his opponents, besides, as Fudge did. Beyond this book, though, I know nothing about Edward Fudge.
As for secular reading, the most recent well-known literary works I've gone through are Little Women and Memoirs of a Geisha. I especially recommend the former. I totally would have been grateful to have such a kind and beautiful girl as Elizabeth March for a wife were she a real person. (I'm not so sure about the film version of Little Women, though.)
But I've always read fantasy books too since I was a small child, mostly from the Dragonlance series, although it does have its obvious flaws.
