About My Library

I am an incurable bibliophile, and seek to read an eclectic variety of books and writings. Some of my favorite subject areas include: theology, psychology, philosophy, history, memoirs and classic novels. Please share your comments and books- I'd love to hear about great books you have read or are reading!

About Me

I am a hospital chaplain in the Philadelphia, PA area. I love to read; I play jazz, blues rock and folk guitar. I also enjoy spending time outdoors.

I am willing to loan books from my personal library to fellow book-lovers who will treat them with care and return them to me in original condition within a month (with the exception of commentaries, reference volumes and rare or out-of-print books in my collection).

**If you wish to borrow book(s) from me, please first go to my tags section and make sure the book in which you are interested is not already on my 'loaned out' or 'don't own' lists:
