I think you have forgotten "Letters from Home, Our Father's Message of Love". In my opinion this is by far the best book of 2007!

God bless,
Tim

Tim, It is not on the list because The Christian Science Monitor did not name it one of its best for 2007. I'm sure it is a wonderful book - but it won't be on *this* particular list.
