The Intellectual Devotional Health
By: David S. Kidder, Noah D. Oppenheim, and Bruce K. Young, MD.

A great coffee table book to start conversation or a simple read before bed; the Intellectual Devotional Health is a great book. If you are the type of person like me, who enjoys 'factoids', you will appreciate this book. The only issue I had with this read was its wide readership-focus. I tend to appreciate a bit more depth, but I also tend to lose people anyhow. All in all, it receives a B from me.
