Unstoppable, by Nick Vujicic. Nick was born without legs or arms, but it hasn't stopped him from having a successful Christian ministry. He is a great encourager. Great book! and I'm not even halfway through.

Recently finished A Tapestry of Faiths: The Common Threads Between Christianity and World Religions by Winfried Corduan and posted this brief review on Amazon:

Winfried Corduan's book is very good on many levels. His summary of original monotheism clearly shows that knowledge of one God is rooted in the most primitive cultures. He also shows how non-Christian Scripture is thought of in non-Christian faiths is distinctly different from the way that Christian Scripture is thought of in evangelical Protestantism. Further, he provides a helpful summary of the "anonymous Christian" concept developed by Karl Rahner, which (along with the thought of others) influenced the Second Vatican Council, and continues to influence Catholicism today.

Perhaps most significantly, Corduan's scholarship is solidly grounded in an evangelical faith that is evident throughout the study. He presents an unapologetic defense of the exclusivity of Christianity based on a solid understanding of the New Testament. Yet, while Corduan is fully orthodox, he suggests helpful ways in which Christians can build bridges with those of other faiths.

In summary, Corduan's book is a model of what evangelical scholarship should be -- thoroughly researched, carefully argued, and solidly grounded in the Christian faith.

The Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus.

The Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus.

Sometime ago, I read Paul Maier's translation of Josephus: The Essential Works. I struggled somewhat with the Antiquities of the Jews section, but really found the Jewish War easier to follow.

 

[.Mikha'el.]

I've got William Whiston's Josephus: The Complete Works. I agree it is fairly tough to follow when it's not covering the events depicted in the Bible. I had to take a break two-thirds of way in and read something else.
