Over on Ed Cyzewski’s blog, In A Mirror Dimly, I have a guest post detailing my top 3 non-fiction picks to read for the new year: “We’re Booked! 3 Book Picks by Thomas Turner.” My picks are Lifted by Angels, Just Church and Tomatoland. My full, enthusiastic plea for you to read these books is over on Ed’s site, so check it out!
BONUS GAME: Try to match the excerpts from my reviews with the books I choose.
A) “This book is full of quotations from the Scriptures and the early church….”
B) “….slavery still exists. Yes, slavery.”
C) “Much like how books on how-to-be missional have finally brought practical and meaningful thoughts to a discussion…”
1) Lifted By Angels
2) Just Church
3) Tomatoland
Tomatoland had somehow escaped my notice, but I’ve now added it to my list. thanks!
I heartily recommend it. The book is superbly researched. It is a great book to share with a skeptic, since the tone is not one of an activist or cheerleader for organic food. It is from an investigative reporter’s perspective.
