JPWL Suggestions for Summer Reading (All titles are available at the JPWL)
Nonfiction:
Was America Founded as a Christian Nation? By John Fea. A good introduction to the subject, especially for those interested in the debates surrounding the role of religion in our nation’s history and the contentious issues of church-state separation.
Fiction:
Go as a River by Shelley Read. Inspired by true events surrounding the flooding of Iola, CO with the construction of the Blue Mesa Dam in the 1960s, here is a story of love in the face of hardship and loss, but also of finding courage, friendship, and, finally, home. Read explores how “cultural norms and notions of ‘progress’ alienate people and destroy lives. Go as a River is about digging down and finding strength and resilience and it’s about connecting and caring for — and feeling humbled in — the natural world.”
