Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us, mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts, emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own.

Tim Keller's book is an excellent resource and a very interesting read that addresses many of the most common questions people have about the reasons for and against faith in God.

God Is.: My Search for Faith in a Secular World
David Adams Richard is an icon of Canadian writing, and in this engaging book chronicles his move from agnosticism to faith. Told from a uniquely Canadian perspective, its a good (if somewhat long-winded in parts) thought starter for skeptics.

The Irrational Atheist - Vox Day
This isn't a theological work, nor is it a conventional religious defense of faith. It contains no arguments for the existence of God and the supernatural and doesn't rely on a single Bible passage to score points.
Vox Day decimates the arguments, assertions and conclusions of trendy New Atheist writers like Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens using only one set of weapons: the secular tools of reason, logic and historically documented, independently verifiable fact.
A blistering and intellectually precise work that decisively demonstrates that the New Atheists are no champions of reason, but rather abandon reason at the most critical points in their arguments against religious faith.
(Heads Up: This dude is really smart, and skewers atheist cynics with acidic, irreverent humor. A great book for people who have read one of the current bestsellsers on atheism and aren't afraid to have their perspectives impaled.)
