The Father You Get

Christian Living

“The Father You Get is a stirring meditation on what it means to need and become the many things we expect of fathers: a parent, a mentor, a hero, a friend. With abiding warmth and humor, Patton Dodd’s engaging memoir captures the poignancy of trying to be all we wish we’d had.”

The God Beat

“The best writing about religion is simultaneously personal, political, historical, and spiritual--just like religion itself. The God Beat is all that and more. Costica Bradatan and Ed Simon have crafted a collection that is by turns profound, funny, and searching. It captures a still-unfolding moment in which the old ways of writing about faith were found wanting, and new ways were ready to be born.”

The Violent Take It by Force

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“An essential book for understanding the role of religion in twenty-first-century American politics. A thorough study and a thoroughly unnerving warning, The Violent Take It by Force should be required reading for anyone concerned about the future of our democracy.”
