Partial

Books I read parts of, but not the whole. There’s no implication about quality either way, only that I chose not to finish them—sometimes that came down to level of interest as I went on; other times to the fact that they were assigned for class.

  • 40 Questions About Creation and Evolution, Ken Keathley and Mark Rooker
  • God’s Good World: Reclaiming the Doctrine of Creation, Jonathan Wilson
