Given the open nature of this forum, would it be better to avoid books with such strongly religious aspect? I have no wish to offend participants (but if people were not going to be offended this is an excellent book).

I'm with
issybird on this -- you're more than welcome to nominate it, and if it is selected, we'll discuss
the book without going into P&R territory. And certainly, anyone who doesn't find themselves able to keep the discussion 'clean' will simply not participate. But I think we're all adults here (or at least imitate them on the Internet
) so I think such a nomination is fine.
