Veiled Freedom

I don't read many novels these days...especially the modern "apple snitz" type material that tends to gum up my brain and produce a contented sort of lock jaw. Enjoy this book recommendation while it lasts because I'm going to do something really abnormal for me...I'm going to recommend a novel today:)

Its not that there aren't any good novels out there...its just that there are so many novels of every shape around every corner, and I grow weary of people hoping to ram the latest rage down my throat. They say things like, "Kyle, you just HAVE to read ____________!!!!" These statements insinuate that I will never be a real person of value unless I become their clone....immediately I begin to think of reason why I will hate this new book that I "HAVE" to read.

So....nobody has to read this book, and I don't think you will be a lesser person if you haven't or won't read it. In fact, I should point out that your time would be better spent on another book, if you don't have a heart of love for the people of the middle east.

However....if you're still reading this post...

...and you're like me, having read nothing but theology, philosophy, and modern church writers for the last several years...if you would like a break from the heavier stuff...If you would like something pretty light for a change....if you would like to get a fairly accurate picture of the tensions in the middle east...take the time to read "Veiled Freedom" by J. M. Windle.

I'm actually reading parts of it to my students, hoping to produce more color in their picture of the middle east.
