Still geeky. What’s close at hand is “The Faith: A History of Christianity,” by Brian Moynahan. I just glanced through the text referenced by the meme, and it’s got roughly the same broad appeal for the average reader that “Software Requirements” has. I was hoping for it to be a relatively objective look at Christianity, but instead it reads more as devotional material. It’s fine, but I was looking for something else.

Tom,

Is that along the lines of Donald Knuth’s book? If so, that would be fabulous reading from Lucado. – Tim

And the answer is –?

That’s probably true, but in my case, depending on where I was posting from, it might not get much better. The closest book to where I usually set up the laptop at home is (if I remember correctly), “The Holman Bible Commentary.” Something tells me that page 123 of “Software Requirements” is going to have a similar appeal.

However, in the interest of science, I’ll check as soon as I fire it up tonight! – Tim
