Careless Whispers (St. Martin's True Crime Libr...
Carlton StowersIf you like true crime this one's pretty good, especially if you've ever lived in Waco. The book details the Lake Speegleville murders that happened in Waco just a few years before I went to Baylor.

90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death &am...
Don PiperI liked this. Liked his description of what he saw and heard in Heaven. That alone was worth the read. Incredible how God has used the negative part--severe injuries, long hospital stay, total dependence on others--to strengthen his ministry and impact the lives of others. A fascinating read.
