The Christian outsider di Ray Billington
For those who are concerned in the 21st century with the continued relevance of the church, here is an account of one man's journey to explore similar ideas in the 1960s. He describes setting up communities in parallel with traditional church gatherings. He explores the dichotomy between "Church and Non-Church", "Theology and non-Theology" and what it means to have human values.

One of my favorite books of all time, when it comes to American history.
Uses famous American landmarks to tell the history of America.
This book is taken from the writings of Charlotte Forten. At age 15, Charlotte Forten began a journal which she kept until 1864. She aslo kept a diary from 1855 to 1892.
