Yeah, that's the ticket! Thanks for the suggestions! My Amazon wish list is now a mere 66 books long, having pared it by eight books but adding probably twelve. Y'all were a lot of help.

I found this to be quite inspiring: Teilhard's Mysticism: Seeing the Inner Face of Evolution https://www.amazon.com/dp/1626980853/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_A2mrxb9105TF0 And I keep meaning to get this as well: The Unbearable Wholeness of Being: God, Evolution, and the Power of Love https://www.amazon.com/dp/1626980292/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_S.mrxbZKEWHBC But perhaps you might be more edified by: Evolving Faith: Wanderings of a Mormon Biologist https://www.amazon.com/dp/0842529446/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_r4mrxbZN1VGGS Be blessed, Johnny Cake!

It's the only book I've ever read aloud to my teenage kids on a long car trip. I started out just reading a few stories and they insisted I read the whole thing (every time I would stop, my teenage daughter would say "Continue!"). I've read a few "mission" books, and this was bar far the best. Heaven Up Here Well, flapjacks and french toast. I don't know whether to pare my list or bite the bullet harder. This looks really good too.

I discovered while adding the Gospel Library that my phone can double as an e-reader. So I snagged a few very cheap apps. Phone apps for: Talmage: House of the Lord Talmage: The Great Apostasy Smith, J. Jr.: Lectures on Faith Smith, Lucy: History of Joseph Smith By His Mother LDS Church: Gospel Library (Thanks to JHLProf and Scott Lloyd--JHL for urging me to get some 'classics', Scott for suggesting the Gospel Library app). Only about $75.00 over budget. Edited May 26, 2016 by flameburns623 3

(Mostly the first half).
