What is your favorite book? 
A: I have so many books I love! One of my favorite books is Unoffendable by Brant Hansen. This book offers some great Biblical truths about learning to live in peace with difficult people and is delivered with a twist of comedy. I also like Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. This book was written quite a few years ago, but it's one that stands the test of time. Lewis does an extraordinary job of teaching about truth and faith in Jesus. It is a bit of a hard read, but also an insightful look at the Christian faith through the lens of a former atheist. I highly recommend this book for anyone wrestling with their faith.
