Making Room for Mystery

“Standing on the shoulders of William James, David Holley provides us with a significant advancement in the study of the paranormal and the extraordinary. Readable and riveting, Making Room for Mystery provides the reader with a typology of the paranormal. This book is highly recommended as a text for a course in comparative religion or for a course in paranormal and primary religious experience. It is also recommended for the book club seeking to engage in lively discussion.” Allan W. Eickelmann, Teaching Professor, The University of Southern Mississippi “Dr. Holley makes a clear and carefully reasoned case to take mystery seriously. It is not that we should always expect extraordinary and unusual events to occur nor think we can perform them, but—and this is his real point—if we don’t think mystery is in the world, we will miss seeing it, and, consequently, miss seeing the hand of God working with nature and free individuals to heal and redeem creation.”

Christian Living

“Andy White expresses a powerful truth about the Christian faith. He gleans from examples in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus and from his own ‘spiritual genealogy’ that faith is not just a set of beliefs and practices. Faith is the way to live a certain kind of story, journey, and pilgrimage toward a future not known with certainty but, nonetheless, constructed by God and one traveled by Christ himself. Consequently, regardless of the setbacks, losses, and shocks that occur, our faith-story is never over.”
