The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel

From the back cover: "In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief - the eight most popular barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be thinking about the claims of the Bible but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends. A tremendous resource and a fast paced absorbing read."

Howards End by E.M. Forster

Special thanks to Andy Nevins for donating this book.

From the back cover:

Considered by many to be E. M. Forster’s greatest novel, Howards End is a beautifully subtle tale of two very different families brought together by an unusual event. The Schlegels are intellectuals, devotees of art and literature. The Wilcoxes are practical and materialistic, leading lives of “telegrams and anger.” When the elder Mrs. Wilcox dies and her family discovers she has left their country home—Howards End—to one of the Schlegel sisters, a crisis between the two families is precipitated that takes years to resolve.

Written in 1910, Howards End is a symbolic exploration of the social, economic, and intellectual forces at work in England in the years preceding World War I, a time when vast social changes were occurring. In the Schlegels and the Wilcoxes, Forster perfectly embodies the competing idealism and materialism of the upper classes, while the conflict over the ownership of Howards End represents the struggle for possession of the country’s future. As critic Lionel Trilling once noted, the novel asks, “Who shall inherit England?”

More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell

Amazon.com Review: "Since its release, More Than a Carpenter has been challenging readers to ask the question, 'Who is Jesus?' Author and renowned speaker Josh McDowell acknowledges that while the topic of God is widely accepted, the name of Jesus often causes irritation. 'Why don't the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius offend people? The reason is that these others didn't claim to be God, but Jesus did.' By addressing questions about scientific and historical evidence, the validity of the Bible, and proofs of the resurrection, McDowell helps the reader come to an informed and intelligent decision about whether Jesus was a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord."

Theodore Roosevelt: An American Mind

From Publishers Weekly: Theodore Roosevelt's writings collected here reflect his varied roles and interests as president, soldier, patriot, naval reformer, naturalist, conservationist, explorer and big-game hunter. A man of causes and contradictions, his contradictions are very much on dispay in these pages, as DiNunzio points out. Roosevelt expresses outrage over the wanton slaughter of game, yet he and his son Kermit kill more than 500 animals on an African safari. He supports equal rights for women but holds traditional views about their place in the home. Not a few of Roosevelt's opinions fall far short of political correctness by today's standards.

The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel

The Case for Christ is the result of a journalist's personal investigation into the evidence of Jesus Christ's life. Strobel seeks to answer the question, is there credible evidence that the historical Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?
Strobel writes from the perspective of a tough minded skeptical lawyer who seeks to cross-examine dozens of experts in very specific fields of history, theology, science, apologetics, and medicine to personally discover if the evidence is credible.
