by: Ray Comfort

Amazon Price: $9.73 (as of 05/16/2012)

Here he brings that power to bear, makes that light to shine in the darkest corners of our times, among fools. He proclaims with fidelity and winsomeness, remembering that such were once we, walking in the paths of darkness. --Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr.

Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel - Why Everything You Know is Wrong

by: John Stossel

Amazon Price: $4.75 (as of 05/16/2012)

Investigative reporter for ABC's 20/20, Stossel is well known for his impatient "Give Me a Break" reports uncovering wrongdoing. With a writing style that is similar to his television personality--lots of questions and exclamatory statements--Stossel debunks several popular misconceptions from media bias to world overpopulation. In separate chapters, he turns an investigative eye toward the media, business, government, education, the sexes, consumers, law, experts on everything, religion, health, parenting, and the pursuit of happiness. In the business section, he takes a generally pro-business position, attacking myths regarding the notion that big business is anti-consumer and exploits workers. He counterbalances by examining the myth that American business believes in free markets. The Truth: most businesspeople don't care about free markets, and will stifle competition if it serves their interest. Regarding government, Stossel attempts to strike a similar balance, attacking the myths that Republicans shrink government and that government helps the needy. Stossel tackles more mundane subjects in the health section, exploding myths that being cold gives you a cold and chocolate is bad for you. Each debunking is backed up with research and interviews. He concludes with a chapter that acknowledges readers' natural curiosity about where he stands politically with a myth-buster about himself: Myth: John Stossel is a conservative. Truth: he's a classical liberal. For fans of Stossel and readers who appreciate pokes at conventional wisdom.

The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind

by: Bernard N. Nathanson

Amazon Price: $10.45 (as of 05/16/2012)

Here is a man who was responsible for the legalization of abortion in the United States, coming to terms with the dreadful consequences of his actions, publicly sharing an obviously painful part of his life, and seeking forgiveness.

This is a beautiful testimony, even if it is difficult to read at times. Nathanson leads us through his life in a Jewish home and the events which led to his work as an abortionist and with NARAL.

His vocabulary can be a bit challenging at times, but it is very much worth the effort.

Especially chilling are Nathanson's predictions for the future. He predicts that just as we now have abortuaries one day we will have "death with dignity centers" - legalized places where we can bring our elderly to have them put to death.

The book brings the reader right up to his potential conversion to Catholicism. Not long after the book was published, Dr. Nathanson entered the Catholic Church.

Tell Me What You Know

Amazon Price: $8.37 (as of 05/16/2012)

Sara's "Tell Me What You Know" is one of the best albums I've ever heard, in ANY genre. There's an honesty and clarity that shines thru every song, from the melodies and lyrics to the production, arrangements and mix. Put on your phones and pay attention to this one, it's absolutely worth every minute. I'd say my favorite tracks are "Abstraction" and "When The Saints," but they're all great in their own way.
