Letter to a Christian Nation

Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris


Clear and to the point, Harris argues the danger of belief without evidence.  Using real-world examples, he shows how belief can motivate people to actively work toward the destruction of society.  Harris pulls no punches while unapologetically drawing parallels between those who would call our a Christian nation and nations where other faiths hold sway, and the dangers such unfounded beliefs put us all in.

This is unlikely to be a popular book, and some will feel that Harris overstates his case, I'm sure.  However, at a time in our history where a single individual can destroy the lives and property of thousands on hopes of eternal paradise, his is a point well worth considering.

The Poet's Handbook by Judson Jerome
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is actually a re-reading of this book for me.  It's a great book for both the beginning poet as well as anyone wanting to understand the structure of poetry better.  Judson Jerome was the poetry editor for Writer's magazine for several years before he passed away.  Much of his years of experience with poetry is collected here in an easy-to-understand style.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the art of poetry.
