When Everything's on Fire

Apologetics

“It is always a gift to find the words that lend language to your own experience. I needed this book. My world needs this book. Brian's words are a pleasing aroma, pastoral and full of love, reminding me—in the midst of what has often been my own terrifying disillusionment—that Jesus Christ remains the participatory God who empathizes with my lostness but does not leave me there, alone. How I have longed for faith informed by the kind of love that casts out fear, but what a frightening thing it is—to lose the fear that has for so long equated itself with faith! When Everything's on Fire, indeed. But does not my heart burn within me? Yes, and—admittedly—with a hint of envy. This is the book I wish I had written.”

You Don't Need a Calling

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Perhaps what I most love about Damon Garcia's work is his ability to ignite my imagination. Here again--a spark. This book is, in itself, the fruit of its premise: Release the clamoring anxiety that demands ascension toward a 'call,' and sink into the grace that is already a wellspring of 'enough.' You Don't Need a Calling is an invitation to resurrection--one of new worlds from old machinations that leave so many crushed beneath its gears--and more compassionate possibility in the light of a gem turned toward beauty.”
