Book Description
Al had questions, lots of them. River's Edge Diner held the answers! When an innocent child vanishes in a red mist within a few short feet of Al, a reporter on special assignment, the trauma propells him into the nightmare of PTSD. Later, the death of his own child adds to the hellish pit of his life. Nightmares of the vanishing child are joined by the crying sounds of an infant he is sure is his own child. Becoming a homeless shell of a man, propped up by whiskey, he wanders the lifeless steel and concrete skeletons of the city. Surrounded by garbage cans filled with coffee grounds and dirty cups, Al is offered a lifeline. Would his new friends help him overcome the nightmares and finally find peace? So much depended on it. There he discovers part of the truth from the only two people who hold a key to it. Realizing his life is meant for a greater purpose, Al heads north to work at a regional newspaper owned by his old boss. Mysteries nearly three hundred years old surface and send him investigating. At the River's Edge Diner, Al finally finds his purpose and the answers to questions he and all humanity are asking. "Encounter at River's Edge is in my top ten of the novels I've read. In my opinion it is right next to The Shack." -Kathy R., Grand Lake, MI "I absolutely fell in love with this book. I think all Christians should read it, and all non-believers. It might stir something in their soul." -Sue S., San Tan Valley, AZ

Silent Sky
Author: Lauren Gunderson
Publisher: Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
ISBN: 0822233800
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
THE STORY: When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

Church of the Wild
Author: Victoria Loorz
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506469655
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
2024 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner in "Religion / Spirituality of Western Thought" Category Winner of the Living Now Book Award, Church of the Wild reminds us that once upon a time, humans lived in an intimate relationship with nature. Whether disillusioned by the dominant church or unfulfilled by traditional expressions of faith, many of us long for a deeper spirituality. Victoria Loorz certainly did. Coping with an unraveling vocation, identity, and planet, Loorz turned to the wanderings of spiritual leaders and the sanctuary of the natural world, eventually cofounding the Wild Church Network and Seminary of the Wild. With an ecospiritual lens on biblical narratives and a fresh look at a community larger than our own species, Church of the Wild uncovers the wild roots of faith and helps us deepen our commitment to a suffering earth by falling in love with it--and calling it church. Through mystical encounters with wild deer, whispers from a scrubby oak tree, wordless conversation with a cougar, and more, Loorz helps us connect to a love that literally holds the world together--a love that calls us into communion with all creatures.
