Behold

Arts & Literature

“Behold warmly invites the reader to look again at our world and wonder at its design, paying close attention to the curves that have defined life and imagination from the beginning of time. From the curve of a smile to waves on the Mississippi to a parabolic church to the bend of a rainbow, Michael McCarthy extends our gaze into the universe to ponder the elliptical orbits of planets, moons, comets. The arch of our foot connects us to our home on Earth, but our gaze connects us to the heavenly curves of the cosmos. This book aims to behold the beauty of this marvelously grand design and bless it.”

Coming to God

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In his latest work, William Kraft, a wise sage, trusted therapist, and Christian counselor, engages, engenders, and encourages the reader to realize that a spiritual connection is essential to medical/physical, psychological/social, spiritual/God aspects of the human journey. . . . As a master of AA spirituality, he maintains that God must be part of any treatment plan and that holiness is within every person's reach. . . . Kraft's spiritual perspective brings hope, healing, and health to a wide audience of seekers.”

No Longer Sick

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Allison Greene tells the full story in this powerful account of her son’s journey. Her willingness to go beyond the physical struggle and explore issues surrounding mental health is admirable. This is especially noteworthy given the way mental health is handled among men. . . . This book will make a difference in the world.”

The Silence That Answers Back

Arts & Literature

“Meditative, observant, prayerful, these brief poems are arrow-like insights into the liminal moments that quicken our lives.”

Weak Devotions

Arts & Literature

“There is great compassion in these poems, most especially for the vicissitudes of childhood, when the mystery of life is first unfolding. But Hankins understands that 'there are few words left sufficient to this world' to explain or console or lift up as praise, and that even the loveliest poem may prove a weak devotion. Still, Hankins does not give in to uncertainty or despair. Rather, in masterfully wrought poems, he exhorts us to 'abandon ideas and concepts of beauty' and 'be part of it,' a natural and blessed part of life's great dance. In the beautiful poem 'Wisteria,' the poet convinces us that it is in fact possible to give oneself over to the mysterious 'sweetening sun,' like a vine-wrapped tree that becomes 'what rises through it.' Such brave surrender is, I think, what gives these heartfelt poems their clarity, power, and grace.”
