Time off means some time to read. I love it!
Here are a few recommendations from my summer reading thus far.
1) Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.
An excellent suspense thriller. Too many folks obsess about Brown's anti-Church bias and miss the fact that this and DaVinci Code are great page-turning reads. They are novels - fiction. They are not history. In fact, the book is littered with historical misrepresentations and inaccuracies. But it is a novel. And a fun one at that.
2) Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor
My older daughter and I have been on a Southern literature kick this summer, started by one of her classes at college this past Spring. Wise Blood is really Flannery's only complete novel. Flannery at her most absurd. And a look at faith in the way that only Flannery could do it.
3) The Dream Manager by Matthew Kelly
Matthew and I have gotten to be friends over the past year as we have worked on Strong Men/Strong Faith together. In this work, Matthew addresses what really motivates workers and employees. A good read for people who lead and manage, and a good read for those of us trying to discover what our dreams actually are and mean for our lives. Helpfully captures Matthew's insight into how to become the best version of yourself and also how to help your company do the same.

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!

Summer lovin' happened so fast.
Check out some of Pat Conroy's early books if you haven't. Also "My Losing Season."
Or anything by great American atheist Mark Twain.
or one of the great sports memoirs of all times:
In 2008, Basic Books released Forgotten Patriots: The Untold Story of American Prisoners During the Revolutionary War, by historian Edwin G. Burrows.
The book focuses mainly on prisoners in New York City because most Americans who died in British custody died in or near New York City and because Burrows is a scholar of NYC history. Burrows won a Pulitzer Prize as coauthor of Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898.
A beautiful French-language movie, w/ English Subtitles, was made last year.
=======================
I remember Allen being a minister at Chapel Hill United Methodist in Rome, GA in the 1980's before being appointed to Pisgah UMC in ATL....Always wondered about that huge leap from a small developing congregation to a "powerhouse" church in the UM N. GA Conference.
The Name of the Rose
Two monks, an older Franciscan ex-inqisitior and a Benedictine novice investigate a series of murders in a mysterious abbey in the 14th century, as the Renaissance was just gaining steam. Was made into a movie starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater.
Foucault's Pendulum
An almost Heisenbergian (of the uncertainty principle) story of Knights Templar, secret societies and the grand Plan to master the secret to control the world. Or is it?
