Emptiness

Christian Living

“Drawing on both the mystical, apophatic tradition of Christianity and on Eastern traditions, Auten invites us to engage with his remarkable set of reflections on how more absence (the contradiction is intentional) and greater emptiness can fill us with greater personal wisdom and self-knowledge. This is not a book to be rushed through but rather savored, a little bit at a time, in order to allow absence and emptiness to become a meaningful part of our daily lives.”

The Sage of Time and Chance

Fiction

“Kathleen Housley's new book is an engaging meditation on the poetic process of selecting words that carry us beyond the utilitarian and linear. Informed but not overwhelmed by a scholarly understanding of the Bible, the book invites the reader to enjoy the delights found in the time-bending play and translation of words as experienced by the characters who comprise the symposium at the heart of the book.”
