Re: [asa] Greetings from a new member

Alright here's my earlier post in reply to Louise:

 No, I haven't read that one yet, but I would like to; I'll put it on my
reading list for this summer. I also want to read *Perspectives on an
Evolving Creation* this summer. Right now I'm reading *The City of God*, *Mere
Christianity*, and Fritjof Capra's *The Web of Life*, all with a bit of
discernment! I recently finished *The Language of God* and *Finding
Darwin's God* , although there was plenty in each I disagreed with. I still
found them very helpful and thought-provoking.

Thanks for the book recommendations, everyone!
