Joe,
Good reads listed hear. You know, I have wondered about Greg Boyd. Is he worth reading?
Feel free to recommend books to me, I just might learn something!

Well Jim, it depends on what you want to read. Greg and I are pretty good friends actually, but we certainly don't agree on everything. His newer work is largely centered around how we are supposed to understand and respond to the government as Christians. He explores our role, or lack there of in its issues and controversies.
Honestly, I strongly disagree with Greg on these points. However, one of his most popular works is "Letters from a Skeptic," Definitely worth the read if you care at all about apologetics. He is a very good apologist.
His other major works center around Open Theism and the problem of evil and suffering. If you are interested in Open Theism there are better books than his (God of the Possible.) on the topic. I particularly recommend John Sanders “The Openess of God,” and his magnum opus “The God Who Risks.” On evil and suffering however, Greg’s three part trilogy is interesting is a tad repetitive.
