What book have you got on the go right now?
I have a few- Madame Guyon, some Bible promise books and an excellent devotional by Lance Armstrong's ex, Kristin, called, "Happily Ever After". The devotional is geared to those going through a divorce but can be adapted to those dealing with the effects of any catastrophe.

I just finished "God Sent a Man" by Carlyle B. Haynes. It's about Joseph's journey to being #2 ruler of Egypt.
Next I'm going to read "When the Spirit Descends" by Jan Paulsen.
My son and I just finished "The Rise and Fall of the Kidsborian Empire" by Marshal Younger. Those Kidsboro books are sooooo cool!

Currently Bill Bryson's 'Down Under' (about Australia) and 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' (about science) - both recommended.

A Spring without Bees: How Colony Collapse Disorder Has Endangered our Food Supply, by Michael Schacker.
This is a pretty good and true detective story melding science and politics investigating the case of the missing bees, examining the many theories on the cause, including cell phones, mites, new pathogens and bee managment. He then examine the evidence against IMD [imidacloprid, a relatively new but widely used insecticide in the US.
Guess what agency that failed its mandate, and under whose watch and when did CCD really come into play?
Luckily, there is evidence to reverse the effects of CCD. And this book strongly encourages the use of organics in the farming process....
