The Kings and Their Gods

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I can think of few men I admire so much, yet am so grateful not to be, as Daniel Berrigan. This man's life has been given to dark witness. Working with his back to the sun, delving in the shadows of earthly power, he has self-abnegatingly pinned tails on the donkeys and elephants of American Empire for half a century. Some find truth via fear of God, some via love for God. Grateful as I am to count myself among the latter, I thank this poet-hero of the former. Father Berrigan's life has been a tireless song of protest against all that Love cannot bear.”

Undaunted Joy

Christian Living

“The call to joy from Job to Jack Gilbert and Chuang Tzu to Ross Gay runs through world faith traditions, world poetry, and the lives of saints and sages as one of our greatest antidotes to despair. In this quiet, family-oriented, often humorous book, Shemaiah Gonzalez has boarded that good ship. May its voyages grow in number and never end.”
