A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Christian Living

“A Long Obedience in the Same Direction participates in a vital literary and theological tradition: the power of a particular text, in this case the fifteen Songs of Ascents, to release the highly original—that is to say, explosive—meditation of a profound Christian spirit. . . . These provocative meditations delivered this true evangelist into the Christian world and gave us a literary, spiritual guide whose wisdom and clear-sightedness can always be trusted. . . . Now that A Long Obedience has been complemented by Eugene's own translation of the Psalms into today's idiom, its contemporary testimony stands complete and virtually unrivaled. I would give this book to anyone who truly wanted to know what the Christian faith is about and to anyone attempting to live that faith as well.”

Never Mind the Joneses

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Never Mind the Joneses is the most important book about this topic since James Dobson's Dare to Discipline. . . . It's a book that can and should be read by everyone from young couples just starting out to those who find themselves in the whirlwind of jobs, children, violin lessons, workout routines, dinner invitation exchanges and never any time to be alone. I promise you that if mom and dad read this book together (or even just one of you, or the one of you who may be asingle parent), Never Mind the Joneses will make a tremendous difference in your family, and you and your children will have that much more positive impact on the world.”

The Liberated Imagination

Arts & Literature

“"Leland Ryken is an eminently reasonable and insightful critic. All the essential questions about the arts and Christianity are here. 'The Liberated Imagination' should liberate its readers to experience the reflection of God's glory to be found in the arts. I recommend it highly.”

The Luminous Dusk

Christian Living

“An exhilarating investigation of modern culture and the sources of spiritual experience. . . The Luminous Dusk convicts us of how we put ourselves apart from the transcendent and urges us to reconsider. This book is a treasure.”
