Beard

History & Biography

“In breathtaking prose, Kelly Foster Lundquist renders visible the ‘beard,’ an experience so often presented as little more than a footnote in someone else’s story. A love story, a treatise on seeing and overlooking, and an exploration of what it means to know oneself and be known by another, Beard is a tremendous achievement, and also just tremendous writing. I will be recommending it to everyone I know.”

No One Taught Me How to Be a Man

“In a world where men are actively discouraged from reflecting on what it means to be a man, this smart, highly readable invitation to do so from someone who clearly has is urgently needed. With meaningful personal anecdotes and an approach that speaks to all varieties of men (and anyone who has ever cared about one), No One Taught Me How to Be a Man is an essential book.”

Outlaw Christian

Christian Living

“While this is a Christian book, its gifts are available to anyone who has ever wrestled with the seemingly impossible task of making sense of suffering, loss, evil, inequity, and loneliness—including including atheists like me. Reading Dr. Bussie’s call to reject clichés and sit with uncertainty, I found myself hoping this book makes its way into the hands of every Christian who has ever had their questions or pain shut down by a platitude or an easy answer.”

Wake, Sleeper

History & Biography

“Many writers share their questions in order to offer their answers. But some writers, like Bryan Parys, live in the messiness of questions. Eschewing the temptations of certainty, Parys has created a gorgeous, searching work. Wake, Sleeper is a book of revelation.”
