Christian Living
“Despite what the title might make you think, this is a book about life: joyful, wonder-filled, abundant life. In a time when so many essays are urgent jeremiads, this book is full of short essays that offer hope: deep hope, profoundly rooted and written with gladness. These essays don’t simply tell the gospel, rather, they show it with Taliaferro’s usual humble and jovial spirit. Taliaferro says this is a book in a Chestertonian spirit, and in a way he is right. It is every bit as delightful and insightful as Chesterton’s best essays. But Taliaferro is a joyful bridge-builder in a way that outshines Chesterton. What a beautiful book! It is full of personal reflections that invite the reader to reflect as well. C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, Socrates, and Kierkegaard all make appearances, and always in a way that is both scholarly and easy to read.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There is no shortage of books about robots and ethics, but until now, there has been a serious lack of books about robots and theology. This is not just a timely and brilliantly written book, it’s one that brings together ancient wisdom and contemporary theology with some of the most important questions we face. As technology changes at a rapid pace, Smith offers careful and faithful insight for the road before us.”
Theology
“"It is surprising that a book about romantic, spiritual, and social loneliness could be such a joyful and hopeful book. This book is that and more; it is also a beautiful book. Anette Ejsing has a gift for asking the right questions. She also has a gift for answering them in a way that is personal, powerful, and helpful, speaking with equal clarity to both heart and mind. Ejsing's insight, compassion, and clarity make this a book that everyone should read.”
Philosophy
“Duncan and Goodson have assembled a brilliant collection of essays that combine keen theological and philosophical insight into Mad Men. This book is a rare combination of outstanding scholarship and delightful reading. Of course, it's about Mad Men, but it's also about God, love, relationships, work, ethics, and life in the modern world. It is, in short, about everything that matters.”
