75 Masterpieces Every Christian Should Know

Arts & Literature

“I absolutely love this book! Reading 75 Masterpieces Every Christian Should Know feels like a walk through an art museum, where you relish each creative piece before you. To discover commonality in the creative works of Dante, Hildegard of Bingen, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, Frederick Buechner, J. R. R. Tolkien, Emily Dickinson, Bob Dylan, and dozens of other artists, musicians, painters, writers, and scholars from various time periods is to find my heartbeat. Terry doesn't just introduce us to these fascinating, breathtakingly beautiful works of art—some of them familiar and some of them new—but also shares the background of each artist's life, faith, historical timeframe, and how they came to craft their particular work. While experiencing this book, you will, as Buechner's Saint Godric, find 'the grace of God smack in the middle of a fallen world.'”

The Dusty Ones

Christian Living

“A. J. Swoboda is one of the most authentic, profound, and kind people I know. In The Dusty Ones, this pastor-theologian-friend tackles the topic of wandering, reminding us, for example, of the mistakes Israel made while journeying to the promised land. Yet, the wandering in The Dusty Ones is about more than physical years in the desert; it’s about the wilderness and yearning of the heart. Reading The Dusty Ones is like talking to a friend who’s wandering alongside us on this road of truth, which is “always bumpy, but always worthwhile.” A. J. draws from St. Augustine, noting how we were made for God and that our hearts are restless until they find rest in him. And that’s okay. After all, on the road of life, you will get dusty.”
