On My Shelf helps you get to know various writers through a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their lives as readers.
I asked George Marsden—historian, author, and emeritus professor of history at the University of Notre Dame—about books he re-reads, his favorite fiction, the book that most shaped him as an historian, and more.
- The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky
- Silence by Endo
- Anna Karenina by Tolstoy
- The New England Mind by Perry Miller
- Religious Affections by Jonathan Edwards (part 3 is something else every evangelical could benefit from devotionally). Also, Lewis’s various writings on the nature of Christianity. These are my mentors and also what I’ve been working on of late—a good arrangement.

Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
