Believing Again

Christian Living

“We’ve heard of the diminishing congregations in churches. But Dan Taylor’s Believing Again is about the return to church. These compelling chapters are life-stories of people who have come back to faith. This book is a hopeful read for those with family members still straying or are facing their own dipping faith.”

Beneath the Falls

Arts & Literature

“There is quality in this collection. It comes to the reader from the ‘magician’s fiery pot.’ Whether pecking at some ‘horseradish heavy breather’ he worries about finding his daughter on the internet to the pure translation of faith, his steadfast gaze gives us a complex world. Bennion handles the grit as well as the sacred. His work is full of wonder as he decides ‘what to gather, what to leave in the sun.’”

Living Next Door to the Death House

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A hard and thoughtful look from Huntsville, Texas, at our system of punishment and rehabilitation. Written in careful prose, Living Next Door to the Death House examines our prison system's history, presents narrative case studies, and confronts the deeper question of how Christians deal with the death penalty. This is an insider's view from the Execution Day Prayer Group. The Owenses give insight into the horror that humanity is capable of and look at the complex possibilities for solutions, such as a victim-offender mediation program. They manage here to walk the line between sympathy and toughness.”

Scape

Arts & Literature

“Luci Shaw is a poet of spirit, of nature, and of body. Her gift is an observant eye that looks straight into the face of what she sees. . . . This new collection is made strong by her eye that is faithful to what is, and the ability to describe her world--whether her eye is on the spires or on the sparrow.”

Teacher’s Teachings

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“‘I have assembled a set of teachings,’ Hix begins in his new collection. Exactly what I want, as a collector of Hix’s books. I have a clump of them on my bookshelves. I look to him for direction in form and subject matter. Here he ‘disemvowels’ the good words of the gospel to ‘gdwd,’ while explaining the differentiation of messenger and message, and salting what we read in the Bible from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.”

The Everlasting People

Arts & Literature

“Taking Chesterton's baton to recognize the 'Red Indian,' Milliner continues the relay. His work of 'unexpected connections' looks at Native rock art, Christianity, and massacre sites left in the wake of westward expansion. Native rock art tells the story of a people who sought the same as the Christians—release from darkness, hunger, sickness, death, and threats from a hostile world. Milliner is a go-between between the worlds, following the greater relay, the cross of Jesus. Milliner's work recognizes the supplication, contradiction, and contagion of Native rock art. The Everlasting People is a reminder of the stain on America's history. For the Native Christian, however, behind the shroud of heavy sails was the light of Christ.”
