Kevin, this is a very nice list indeed. I review a book each month on my blog usually regarding liturgy, specifically within the pan-Methodist traditions and the church catholic. I have been following your blog for sometime now and enjoy reading your atricles immensely.
The Lord be with you,
Gil Morris
