I'm trying to sell that one. It would have been a good read about a great man but since i'm moving from INDY and normally don't read alot of fiction I'm going to pass. ;)

I'm curious how you came upon Gary Long's book, "Definite Atonement"? I've been reading through it (again) in recent months. Would enjoy hearing/reading your thoughts on it. Say "hi" to Andrea for me!

Connie,

From a FIRE conference bookstore. With candidation searches and all it will probably be some time before i can write a review on Long's book. I did post some articles on this topic a while back though.

Grace to you guys!
