[Mb-civic] The Battle for God - Karen Armstrong (Harper Perennial)

[Alexander Harper]

The Jim Wallis book has been on my list too, Ian, ever since you mentioned it. I have a pile of books to read but I am getting onto Amazon right away. It will take about 3 weeks for the book to reach Argentina so I should be able to have cleared some backlog before it gets here.
