The Lovely Bones: A Novel
Susie Salmon was raped and murdered in 1973, and, from her perch in heaven, she tells the story of what happened to her, watches her family back on earth as they go about their grief-stricken lives, and describes what it's like to be a kid in heaven. Alice Sebold's novel, which draws on some of her own experiences, became a runaway best-seller as soon as it was published. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

The Thorn Birds
Colleen McCullough's wildly popular epic blockbuster, first published in 1977, follows the fortunes of the Cleary family over three generations, but concentrates mainly on Meggie and her passionate, obsessive love for a Catholic priest, Father Ralph. The complex, passionate plot, along with McCullough's vivid descriptions of the Australian outback, made the book a best-seller--and the movie made from it in 1983 a huge success.

Donald Miller: Books
Donald Miller is becoming one of the popular and widely read authors of new Christian writing. Unlike his earlier books, which were made up of short, essay-length pieces on a variety of topics, SEARCHING FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT has a central, unified argument: that as seekers we are unhappy because we are seeking, in a nervous and frenetic manner, for the wrong things. The result is a fragmented and unfulfilled life, with only the prospect of more of the same. Miller believes in the integrity of things--and he counsels that once we realize we are seekers, and once we realize that the gospel of Jesus is the way, our lives will fall into harmony. Miller's way of presenting his Christian views have found audiences among those who have turned away from established religion, and who have sought a more meaningful and personal spirituality.
