- Enders Game -...
- Ender's Game - Speaker for the Dead - Xenocide - Children of the Mind...is the original series of Ender's life, more or less.
- Ender's Shadow is supposed to be a parallel to Ender's Game, from Bean's perspective.
- Shadow of the Hedgemon is the sequel to Ender's Shadow.
I don't think there are any other related books out at the moment, but I haven't been keeping up with Card in a while. I think they can all be read independently, although it does help with the finer details if you read them in order.
I've actually heard from quite a few people that the original Ender's Game is really the only good book in the series. I think the other books are interesting, but more from a sense of completion than anything.

Oh ok. Thanks. =) Yeah, the only song I've actually heard/listened to so far from them was "Emmanuel," and I thought that was pretty good...

Oh - I just thought it was weird how the first "paragraph" of what I type comes out in single space and the rest doesn't. Maybe hitting return at the beginning might fix that? I have no idea...guess I'll see after this thing posts.
Hmm. Someone once mentioned/suggested to me that it'd be better if we were more specific in what we prayed for - instead of praying, for example, for world peace, to pray specifically for a certain situation to be resolved, that the will of God be done, etc. (although praying for the will of God (along with things like God's calling and such) seems kind of vague to me at times - it'd be safe to say those aren't exactly my favorite prayer topics at any given point in time, considering I've got some "concerns" in that are sitting around without much direction presently, but that's another topic for another day and time). And I think (if I recall correctly from some conferences/sermons that I've heard in various places before) that there are also those who would indeed say that, yes, we should simply pray for the "root solution" as you call it. ;)
Then again, I suppose there are also people who might still pray every night that God will help them win the lottery, and I'm not so sure He's going to help them too much with that, as nice as that might be - ie. each person has their own opinion of what the "best" way to pray might be. I have heard some pretty crazy stories about people who have prayed for highly-specific-albeit-unlikely things to happen and gotten precisely what they asked for, though, so I think I'd probably go with that personally, in the hopes that what I would like and will be praying for might be in tune with what God's plan might be...although since I guess I occasionally pray for generalities as well, I suppose I like variety?
Hmm - I think I've managed to mangle both sides of that question...oh well. I hate answering "it depends" but sometimes it looks like different situations might require different responses? Seems like that's the cheap answer out in any situation though...

Your spacing system here is weird...?...or is that something I did when submitting the msg?

Yeah, Xanga is a little difficult at times. =P I guess my current version is free though so I can't complain about it, at least. =P
Hmm. I suppose world peace might be a good answer just because it covers a multitude of other things (comprehensive generalities = good, in this case, I'd imagine) - e.g. ending racism and hate, resolution to the various forms of strife that are going on in the middle east/India, no more war, etc. I don't recall thinking of widespread generalities initially though - a number of relatively specific things came to mind when I first read the question (under the impression that it was asking for one - my question later came up because I kept thinking, "no wait, this might be better...no wait this..etc"). An end to hate was one of my first thoughts, I think, though - seems like so many devastating things go on out there just because of hate, spite, petty maliciousness, etc. An end of sin in general would be nice, actually, although that makes me wonder what would happen to the relationship between God and man in such a situation...

That's a tough question - just one thing to ask for? Or is the question intended to be more general than that?
