I don’t usually do this, but I’ve had two books which I have reviewed this year which have really stood out to me.

War and Terrorism opened up a new world for me in terms of dealing with the issues at hand from a variety of angles. It is very fitting to read this book from time to time in order to deal with the issues which we are promised to face for the rest of this century.
Andy‘s book, well, as I was sinking deep into the despair of cynicism, it came at the right time. I actually thought that this book was going to justify my cynicism and tell me how to continue to be both a cynic and a saint. But you know, it didn’t. Instead, it woke me up to the direction in which I was heading. It is a powerful little book which I think everyone needs to read – the idealist and the cynic.
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

Joel,
I’m flattered that you made the Hess book one of your top two books! I knew you would like it; it is an excellent book.
