After the Water Receded

Fiction

“David Bradford inhabits a deep scrutiny, seeing more than most. He would say, ‘Familiarity is the enemy.’ It is a tightrope walk, this lyrical journey, and it often conjures hilarity. Read, for instance, ‘Breathless’ which is a lovely surreal multiple choice. This is a book that roams through noir’s gritty charm and unsettling encounters with doppelgangers. Bradford’s exploring of his literary history is remarkable, and readers will be delighted to accompany him on his journey.”

Spiritual Life on a Burning Planet

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Bradford begins with a far-ranging, near-definitive look at the ways in which the catastrophic upheavals of global warming will manifest themselves on every level (ecologically, socially, spiritually). Human negligence, greed, and hubris are assigned blame. But, certainly, his book's primary purpose is to provide a scholarly Christian framework as a guide to greeting such devastation with grief, humility, and enlightened mysticism. To my way of thinking, this is literature.”
