A few good books for a better year

“Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.”

– Mortimer J. Adler

 

 

So many good books and so little time. Here’s four new books from past ThinkAgain-FaithAgain presenters that are worth reading soon:

 

 

Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World | Carol Lynn Pearson

Carol Lynn’s new book of poetry … is incredibly moving — Carol Lynn found a way to somehow simultaneously mourn and celebrate the way we interact with Heavenly Mother, both personally and in community. We found ourselves both laughing, crying, and everything in between as we read — and we can’t recommend the book highly enough. —Faith Matters

This woman knows women—even God the Woman. At least as much as one can know given it’s a man written world. Carol Lynn is an artist with words and has a sage’s insight born of sorrow, hard work, and hope. Read it and weep. — Jay Griffith

 

A New Witness to the World | Bob Rees

A New Witness to the World reflects his profound appreciation of the stylistic riches and narrative complexities of the Book of Mormon prophets and other recordkeepers, including their central focus on Jesus Christ. Rees responds to their personal lives and utterances with both his heart and his mind and persuades readers to do likewise. —Thomas F. Rogers

 

Restoration: God’s Call to the 21st-Century World | PatrickMason

For anyone who cares about the Church’s mission in the twenty-first century, Restoration is a necessary book. Patrick Mason builds on the early leaders radical view that our charge is to renovate all of human society. He points to a few accretions we need to slough off to ready ourselves and then lays out areas calling for our best efforts. This is a strong read, but written with such a light touch and good humor, that I could not put it down. —Richard Bushman, author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling

 

All Things New: Rethinking Sin, Salvation, and Everything in Between | Fiona and Terryl Givens

It’s long past time for us to think more deeply, bravely, and creatively about what love, grace, sin, and justice mean in light of the Restoration. And, equally, it’s long past time for us to break with the traditional Christian grammars of original sin and retributive justice as we do so. All Things New is important work of just this kind. —Adam S. Miller
