Not much can cause me to stop reading a great Ken Follett Book, but Eric Metaxes has caused me to put a pause on a Column of Fire to pick up a great new biography: Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God And Changed the World.

Excellent notes with NASB translation.

A remarkable book. First I've read by Angelou.

The book was excellent.

Have completed the book

Excellent biography with Truman detailing some of the tremendous issues he had to deal with upon FDR's death, just weeks after taking his 4th oath of office for the most important role in the world.

It's another Shaara winner!

A real page turner.

Finished Timothy Keller's excellent volume on the Gospel of Mark.

I doubt Jack Kennedy was the hero he was made out to be in PT 109. However his bravery and concern for his men is unquestioned. His many ailments were downplayed to get the appointment, motivated primarily by later political ramifications. There is no doubt, however that the physical stress was traumatic. The consequences were with him for the rest of his life - back pain, intestinal maladies and Addison's disease!
