Currently reading: "Everyday Is A Good Day: Reflections of Contemporary Indigenous Women," by Wilma Mankiller "A book that a Native American woman gave me.

One book everyone should read: "God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It," by Jim Wallis "It's about getting a little bit more in touch with what faith is all about and a lot of the misconceptions:when it's used for political purposes."
