The Jewish Background of Christianity in God’s Plan of Salvation by Marianne Ivany, D. Min.
This book is a study of the Old Testament in the Bible. Ms. Ivany has written this book to show how the Old Testament leads into the New Testament. She also explains how Jesus is not only Christian but Jewish by birth. Jesus was raised as a Jew and ministered how the Old Testament prophesied of his coming and how important it is to live by God’s laws. I enjoyed this book very much and learned a lot from it. When you read this, you will want your highlighters and pen and paper to take notes. She also includes study questions at the end of each chapter. This is an excellent book as an aid in Bible Studies. This is great not only for Catholics but for Protestants as well.

ihuman by Othmar Brunner
ihuman by Othmar A. Brunner is a nonfiction political essay. This is an interesting book that would be great for politically motivated discussion groups. I personally agree with some and not agree with other points. For example, I agree that if a minor commits a heinous crime then they should definitely be identified. If they are old enough to commit the crime they are old enough to be called out for it and not have their identity protected.
