Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“What I find so very moving about this book is that its calm voice and winsome demeanor allow it to speak hard truths. Ms. Gopo is a writer both thoughtful and bold, deliberate and graceful, compassionate and rock solid. This is a wise and ruminative book on color, marriage, the church, and what it takes to continue in Christ’s love despite the fallen and falling world around us.”

“Part memoir, part meditation, and all heartbreakingly and beautifully evocative, Attending Others is a very rare book indeed. This is a story about doctors and patients, and the mysterious and extraordinarily intimate realm they inhabit together; an elegant rumination upon one doctor's coming of age, as it were, bringing to mind the work of both Richard Selzer and William Carlos Williams, and Wendell Berry too.”
Fiction
“This tender, good-hearted and moving tale of one Charleston girl’s coming of age gives us what so many books these days don’t: a character we can care about. Ms. Hart’s evocation of the ways of Charleston society—blueblood and redneck alike— is right on target, her evocation of the landscape down here sure and certain. And of course she’s made certain to include the three most important elements of any worthy Southern story: family, family, and family.”
The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers
History & Biography
“This is a terrific book, moving and simple and trustworthy all at once. The wisdom, courage, and humility Mister Rogers taught our children is here continued for us adults through this careful and genuine rendering by Ms. Hollingsworth. Fred Rogers, a man of God, is a man we all need to listen to.”
Christian Living
“The most important act of community we can observe is the breaking of bread--the communion of the saints--and I can think of no more moving book that illustrates this integral element of the believer's life than The Spirit of Food. Leslie Leyland Fields has put together a gift as warm and fragrant as the fresh-baked loaves of bread she herself writes of, and I have been nourished by it.”
