The Celtic Way of Evangelism
by George Hunter III
This book is a look at the Christian church amongst the Celts in the 5th through 7th centuries. Professor Hunter describes the "Celtic Way" of living as the church and argues that we need to follow their example in the 21st Century. The book's been around for a while, so while I've only now just read it, I've heard its ideas bandied about here and there in the past decade. As such, I was inclined to agree with Professor Hunter, though there were a couple of times when he seems to reach conclusions by conjecture rather than through solid evidence.
Check it out.

Blood Rites
by Jim Butcher
When I started this book, I was tempted to think that this was the volume in which The Dresden Files jumped the shark. I mean, really, Mr. Butcher--a puppy? Harry going undercover as a production assistant for a porn movie? It sounds like a sitcom episode on sweeps week. Anyway, the tale did turn out a bit better than I had feared. If this volume is somewhat lacking, it did seem to provide some long term character development.
It works for waiting room material.
