Allan, thanks for the recommendation!!

I would recommend Putnam and Campbell's American Grace (Simon and Schuster). Big book, but important conversation!

I just finished a book by Susan Trotter. It is called "The Holy Man." Wonderful short book.

in the same vein of alcohol, but on the theology underpinning why Methodists use grape juice in communion, I strongly recommend a short book:
