Finding Jesus by Winston Rowntree

I absolutely loved this book. My undergraduate degree is in Religious Studies and Philosophy so this humorous take on the Son of God was not lost on me.  It's a Where's Waldo?-esque picture book featuring Jesus. However, I would not say that is necessarily for children, as it and the scenarios it presents are aimed more for the adults. Jesus is hidden in several modern pictures and you have to find Him. From a rave to the grocery, the search for the Savior of the world is on. The back of the book appropriately quotes Jesus as "Seek and Ye Shall Find." It's a nice reminder that Jesus (and God in the biggest sense of the word) is present in our every day life.

 This book would be appropriate for anyone who looks to add a bit of fun to their religion and bookshelf. It would not be appropriate for anyone who cannot find the humor in everyday  life.I would give it 3.5/5 stars.

Blogging for Books Review: Pilgrim's Wilderness: A True Story of Faith and Madness on the Alaska Frontier by Tom Kizzia

I found this to be an interesting read. I have always been intrigued by those who chose to live a different lifestyle. As interesting as it was, I was horrified that something like this was allowed to happen. I thought the journalistic view in which this case was presented, was perfect. It offered unbiased view of the events, leaving the reader both sympathetic and not to Papa Pilgrim.

I recommend this read to anyone interested in religion, politics, or alternative lifestyles. It kept me hooked from the very beginning. With the actions and descriptions of the events and wilderness. IT offered a good description of life in one of the harshest terrains left.
