I try to read regularly from one fiction book and one non-fiction book. The non-fiction shapes my serious/working/spiritual formation world. The non-fiction gives me the opportunity to relax.
Right now, I’m reading David Baldacci’s First Family and Ken Sande’s The Peacemaker.
The Peacemaker is powerful Biblical teaching about how Christians ought to handle conflict. Sande leads a top organization for Christian peacemaking that trains churches to foster “Cultures of Peace.”
First Family is a murder mystery, my main genre of non-fiction. This is my first time to read a book by Baldacci, and I like his style. Plenty of suspense, not much violence, and almost easy to follow (good mysteries always keep the reader guessing). The book is set in Washington, DC, but the story doesn’t delve much into politics or the inner workings of government.
