The Selfless Gene by Charles Foster

The Selfless Gene by Charles Foster was not my favorite book of the ones that I've read this year.  It does have an intriguing balance between creationism, God, and evolution.  If you are someone who enjoys science and the study of how the world began, I do recommend that you read this book, as it is well-written and seems to be sound in content.  That said, I found myself struggling to pick it up...it did not grab my attention or keep me coming back for more.  It was a little dry...a little like a textbook.  So, if you are looking for something to use as a resource for a personal study on the beginning of the world, this could be a book well worth picking up.  But if you are not someone who enjoys science and theories, you'll probably want to skip this one.

The Gospel According to Lost by Chris Seay

“The Gospel According to Lost” surprised me in the depth and theological solidity with which it was written.  I was preparing myself for the Gospel being stretched to somehow fit Lost.  I was pleasantly surprised.  The author writes through each character in detail, and it was both enlightening and inspiring to read.  Now, I’m not sure that someone who hasn’t watched a good deal of Lost would really grasp everything that the author is saying, but for any avid Lost fan, this book will open your eyes to yet another layer of the already intriguing story.  Definitely a must read!
