From panelist R. Skyler Oberst:
Just to clarify, the books listed here under my name are all books I’ve read, enjoyed and learned from, but I didn’t mention them all at the Coffee Talk. Most of them have to do with interfaith understanding and dialogue, but some are more about specific faiths or texts.
Enjoy! 🙂
Yes, these are books the panelists recommended either at the Coffee Talk, in writing or in the SpokaneFAVS writers group!
