Cops, Cons, and Grace

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Brian Cahill found healing and strength in an unexpected place—with convicts at San Quentin state prison—after the suicide of his son, a 42-year-old police officer, plunged him into unimaginable grief. This gripping, personal and inspiring journey reveals the power of grace over death as the author channels his heartbreak into loving action, honoring his son’s life by teaching suicide awareness and prevention to police officers. This is a timely and important book given the high risk of suicide among law-enforcement and correctional officers today, but will appeal to anyone who has wondered how to find hope amidst despair.”

The Case for Christian Humanism

Theology

“In their comprehensive and critical description of various thrusts of historic and contemporary humanism, the authors encourage Christians of all communions to repossess and expand the rich Christian humanism that draws on such fertile tributaries as biblical, patristic, medieval mystical, and scholastic sources and on such diverse streams as Renaissance and Reformation and even Enlightenment Age piety. Franklin and Shaw portray this variegated Christian humanism of liturgy, devotion, art, and ethical reflection as a precious Christian legacy offering the distinct possibility of personal and societyal wholeness.”
