Just finished "House" of Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. Not impressing... "The Oath" of Frank Peretti was much better.
I read Rescued too - really enjoyed this book... although it was so hard for me to keep reading because I couldn't agree with so many things... I was reeeally glad and relieved to read the end and understand that my idea about Christian values was correct 
I am reading Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren ... think it's a good book...
I am reading "The Complete Chess Workout: Train your brain with 1200 puzzles" by Richard Palliser. I use this book to train my chess club members with chess tactics and strategy. I am the director of the college chess club at where I work. On Friday, we gonna go outside and study chess in a park by Lake Michigan. I am assigned to bring sandwiches and drinks. For next time, it will be someone else's turn. Fair enough.
cool! I'm not good at chess at all - all these strategies...
