History & Biography
“Here we have one of the best Christian writers of our time reflecting on one of the best Christians of our time, or any time. Bill has a rare, gentle thoughtfulness and insight that helps us unpack the profound word and witness of Daniel Berrigan. I hope this book inspires many to study Dan's life and writings anew and to deepen our own witness to peace and nonviolence, that we might become, like Daniel Berrigan, disciples, apostles, and prophets of the nonviolent Jesus to our broken world.”

“In Guns We Trust demands a reckoning. William J. Kole lays out our predicament. We have to 'put down our guns,' do whatever we can to ensure that no child, no person, is ever killed in the US again, and practice the nonviolence of Jesus so that, finally, we might learn the meaning of the words 'In God We Trust.'”
Learning from Henri Nouwen and Vincent van Gogh
Christian Living
“Henri Nouwen and Vincent van Gogh are two of my favorite people. Their word and art inspire me daily, pointing me back to our beloved God, the glories of creation, swirling night skies and wheat fields, and sisters and brothers of every walk. Carol Berry unpacks their lessons and like Henri and Vincent offers the most beautiful gift—a sense of hope. Just what we need.”

Thank you, John Jerpe, for your wake-up call urging us to turn back to the gospel of Jesus and his way of peace and nonviolence.”
