Catharsis

Fiction

“Catharsis is a beautiful, moving, and gripping novel, full of colorful characters so vividly drawn that they become part of the reader's own world. Perez does much more than simply craft a great narrative that transcends its gritty setting . . . he explores the vicissitudes of life, always searching for a higher and deeper meaning.”

Encountering Mystery

Philosophy

“A marvelously daring book, Encountering Mystery brims over with cogent rational arguments and powerful narratives that challenge the dominant materialist worldview of our day and age. Dale Allison brings transcendence back into religion eloquently, and in the process offers readers abundant hope and ample reason for believing in the central promises of the Christian faith.”

Magician and Mechanic (The Divine Self, vol. 2)

History & Biography

“A marvelously engaging and eye-opening reassessment of the Western world’s transition to modernity. This second volume of Horton’s audacious trilogy on the ‘divine self’ assigns a leading role in this transitional process to spiritual enthusiasts and ancient philosophical and religious traditions—rather than to secularists—and in the process exposes the deeply theistic and mystical roots of dogmatic materialism and aggressive atheism. All in all, a stunning achievement.”

Sharing the Crust

History & Biography

“An extended meditation on the challenges and joys of Christian discipleship, and on the mystery of self-surrender, Sharing the Crust does more than tell the story of a remarkable man and the community he guided in West Baltimore. Part memoir, part biography, part history, part prayer, this marvelous book provides a glimpse of what it is like to bring hope to the poor, and for making possible what is deemed impossible by many in the world. Truly inspiring and unforgettable.”

Way Below the Angels

World Religions

“An incandescent and searingly honest memoir. . . . Earthy and spiritual all at once, Harline's eloquent account of his travails brims over with good humor and transcends confessional boundaries. Taking the reader from door to door, step by redeeming step, this pilgrim's journal ultimately reveals as much about the human condition as it does about the inner workings of Mormon foreign missions.”
