|  | Meant to Be by Walter Anderson
When Walter Anderson is 21, his father dies, and that`s when he finds out that the brutal man married to his mother wasn`t his real father at all. A Vietnam vet who had trouble adjusting upon his return, the author is able to turn his life around when he finds out the truth, but he promises his mother that he won`t look for his father--a Jew named Albert Dorfman--until she is dead. Finally, he does find him, as well as an alternate family who are as happy to be found as Anderson is to find them. AUTHOR: Walter Anderson

 | City of God by Marcus Dods, Saint Augustine, Thomas Merton
Saint Augustine, who spent 14 years composing this Christian and literary classic, wrote City of God as a defense of Christianity in the wake of the fall of the Roman Empire. City of God functions as a history of early Christianity, a critique of Roman polytheism, and a philosophy of history. Its central theme is the duality of good and evil. Augustine proposes a universal religious society, or the perfectly ordered and harmonious communion of those who find their joy in God, and in one another in God.
