Evania	Posted Sep 22nd, 2009 at 7:50PM Impossible to say just one, plus there are all kinds of perspectives. But I think that Solomon was pretty great. Especially Ecclesiastes. In many ways secular, non-religious, true stuff about the nature of Life and things. I love that book. Rated: +1Vote for this!
