Desert Spirituality for Men

Men

“In this book, visits to the desert alternate antiphonally with vivid sketches of some of the very different men who through the course of Karelius’s long life have shaped and disciplined and tutored and kindled his spirit. . . . This modest but moving book . . . belongs as much in the cab of a pickup truck as on any library shelf. Got a lonely trip ahead of you? Take it along. You’ll be glad you did.”

Encounters with the World’s Religions

World Religions

“In the great American tradition of road books, Brad Karelius has written a lovely little memoir whose title might be On the Road with the World's Great Religions. Take it along on your next road trip, read a chapter each night (they're short), and see if you don't like where it takes you.”

The God Beat

“For ten years ending in 1995, I was repeatedly invited and repeatedly declined to be the religion editor of the Los Angeles Times. Reading this anthology, I understand both why I was right to decline the gig back then and why today another reporter might jump at it. The religion beat of old has become what Bradatan and Simon call 'the God beat'--an exciting new freestyle game still learning its own rules.”
