I just finished two very different books on Faith.

Have a Little Faith - Mitch Albom
This is a small delight of a book. Rather than defining Faith, Albom shows it to you, through the lives of two very different kinds of clergymen, a Rabbi and a Christian Pastor.

Dynamics of Faith - Paul Tillich
Supposed to be a classic in the discussion and definition of Faith. I'm sure it is. I found this very difficult to read and comprehend in a lot of places ... not for a lack of trying. But it's a rare book that makes me reread and go back a couple pages here, a chapter there. There are reasons that I chose not to be a philosophy major. Books like this were one of the biggies. Well, that and the lack of job opportunities for Industrial Philosophers these days ...

Don't worry SG, I loved White Fang too (assuming you mean the one by Jack London rather than some newly published piece of vampire/werewolf porn that the youth are all gaga about currently).
