Ask the Geeky Girls -
Denise (fuzziekit) from Michigan asks:
C.C., Dami, Dr. Hubs: I am a super bibliophile. I love books, the feel, the smell, even the taste. I do read books on an ereader as well and listen but there is nothing compared to a paper paged book. So I am asking this question. If you could only recommend five books to someone, what would they be? (I am willing to give one of those slots to a series of books but I want you to push yourselves and really think about this.) Also, what are books you like to revisit? I revisit the Harry Potter Series often and am considering the Narnia Series again… I love, LOVE, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

We mention:
Lament for a Son by Nicholas Wolterstorff
The Accidental Anglican by Todd D. Hunter
Living Into Community by Christine D. Pohl
Practicing Christian Doctrine by Beth Felker Jones
The King Jesus Gospel by Scot McKnight
Oneself As Another by Paul Ricoeur
Rediscovering the Triune God by Stanley J. Grenz
Ricoeur and Theology by Dan R. Stiver
Theology After Ricoeur by Dan R. Stiver
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Emma by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessey
One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon
