A Faithful Farewell

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“This quietly graceful and grace-filled book allows us the extraordinary, perhaps even unique, privilege of listening in on the thoughts of someone trying to live her dying days mindfully, faithful to herself, to those she loves, to reality, and to God. . . . McEntyre's entirely believable `channeling' of the dying one's voice is a gift for which I am immensely grateful; this book will stay by my side as I and those dear to me move toward our own farewells.”

Raging with Compassion

Theology

“Attentive compassion, the hallmark of Christian life and work in the world, permeates this book. John Swinton courageously tackles what is truly difficult about theodicy — not the intellectual question, which he sets aside with clarity and care, but the requirements of authentic ministry in the face of actual experiences of evil or suffering. The edifying result is a set of luminous and compelling essays on the emotionally wrenching but morally formative practices of lament, forgiveness, thoughtfulness, and hospitality. Raging with Compassion shows us the contours of a 'theodicy' of sense and beauty, one that can sustain life within a faithful, hopeful Christian community.”

The Mindful Grandparent

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“This is a book of wisdom, lightly worn, joyfully shared. The scope is generous and fearless, from crafts and games to racism and death. As a pediatrician, I affirm the authors' respectful understanding of children (and parents) and how they flourish. As a grandmother, I treasure what this graceful work teaches me.”
