The People Are Kind

History & Biography

“With his religious history of Iowa, Bill Douglas fills a gaping hole in the historical literature on Iowa, and he does so with keen insight, generosity of spirit, inclusiveness, and wit as well as welcome attention to the public implications of religiosity. Reflecting the author’s remarkably broad reading, the book is well-grounded in a wide range of secondary literature; it is thoroughly documented but just as thoroughly engaging.”

They Need Not Go Away

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The author, highly sensitive to the spiritual hunger of many members of today’s generations, especially the millennials and Gen Z, and religious types such as the nones, dones, and SBNRs, highlights the life and times of Luther: many personal crises, his response in a devotional theology based on a solid law-gospel foundation, five spiritual mentors, devotional writings and spiritual practices that connect with the cognitive, visual, affective, and experiential worlds of today’s generations . . . and all who seek to grow in a spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ.”
