 | Ken's Guide to the Bible by Ken Smith
The Bible is a thick, imposing, often unreadable, damnedly religious book. Most people don't have the time or the patience even to attempt reading it. But everyone knows they're supposed to know what's in the world's most widely quoted book. To whom can you turn? Ken Smith, co-author of the best-selling Roadside America books, goes where traditional Bible authorities fear to tread. Ken's Guide to the Bible takes you directly to the Good Book's naughty parts and wastes no time on the stuff you already know. With hammerhead precision and pig-iron wit, this compact volume lays bare all the sex, gore, and lunacy that the Bible has to offer. Read Ken's Guide to the Bible and you'll know more about the Good Book than most televangelists, Christian rockers, and conservative school-board members put together! AUTHOR: Ken Smith

 | Science & the Spiritual Quest by Kirk Wegter-McNelly, Philip Clayton, Robert John Russell, W. Mark Richardson
Addressing fundamental questions about life, death and the universe, SCIENCE AND THE SPIRITUAL QUEST examines the ways in which scientists negotiate the complex frontiers between their scientific and religious beliefs. Distinguished cosmologists, physicians, biologists and computer scientists of different faiths explore the connections between the domain of science and the realm of ethics, spirituality and the divine. Through essays and frank interviews, scientists offer honest, stimulating, and often intensely personal thoughts about life's most impenetrable mysteries. This unique volume presents radical new approaches to the religion/science debate and highlights the continued importance of the spiritual quest in a world transformed by the developments of science. Some of the topics discussed include the relationship between natural beauty and the wisdom of spiritual insight; the intangible nature of information; the role and nature of authority in science and religion; and the evils committed by humanity and those which seem to have been cased by God.
