A Brain Tumor Changes Everything
Counseling, Grief & Mental Health
“Well written, searching, and vulnerable, Jan Woltmann invites the reader to accompany her family as they navigate the sustained crisis of her son’s life-threatening cancer. Drawing on the wisdom of a wide array of theologians, writers, and friends . . . she offers a story marked by pain, filled with a longing for hope, and ultimately characterized by a sense of deep wonder.”

“William Edgar's A Supreme Love stands as something of a tour through the story of jazz and all that has shaped and informed it. After a solid introductory chapter called 'Jazz and the Gospel,' Edgar takes the reader through a tour of slavery, the churches, the spirituals, the blues, gospel, and all the social, religious, and musical forces that coalesced in the development of jazz—a tour that runs for nearly half his book. But that's Edgar's way, as he doesn't want to rush too quickly past all those formative voices and influences, such that when he arrives at the point where jazz music begins to be formed, the reader is ready to roll. Newcomers to this music will find a deep and useful introduction to the music, with footnotes filled with links to online samples. Jazz fans will enjoy the tour, quibbling from time to time as to why this artist or that album wasn't cited . . . which is something jazz fans love to do! Read and be enriched.”

“Lovely, gentle, and honest, Endearing Pain invites the reader to walk with Colleen as she struggles to make sense not only of her pain and her body's progressive weakening, but also of faith, meaning, life, and love.”
Arts & Literature
“This is a lovely, personal, and highly readable book. The poetic ‘Improvisations’ along the way give good flavor to the whole, moving it more toward the world of music than simply print.”
