I chose Healed Without Scars but Unchristian would definitely be my second choice. Both look like great books

I suggested A Severe Mercy before I had read it. Having now finished the book, I think it contains some interesting and salient points, and would be particularly helpful for someone going through a period of grief at the loss of a loved one. However, I don't think it is conducive to our weekly readings and discussions.
So, I am voting for Healed Without Scars.

Being christian is being in relationship, having a religion, not just being part of a religion, relating to God and to our fellow brothers and sisters in love. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families explore relationships in all kinds of perspective, any kind of relationship. It's practical Christianity, Love in action, the processes and the finality, the intriguing and ultimate relationship between Christ and His Church as a bride is the inspiration. Hebrews also is always great.

This was definitely a tough choice. Usually I take the easy route and go with a book of the Bible but since I am reading Daniel for boost I thought I might get Bible commentary overload. Thus, in the end, I chose Seven Habits for Highly Effective Families. I just read on tape his book on effective people and found it motivating. In fact, I am going to develop a personal mission statement based on his advice. Thus, I would be interested in seeing how the habits would apply to families and in our discussion, how we would extrapolate his advice to a church family in building our relationships with each other. However, all looked good.
