The Cold Millions: A Novel

by Jess Walter - Edoardo Ballerini (Narrator)

“The Cold Millions is a literary unicorn: a book about socio-economic disparity that’s also a page-turner, a postmodern experiment that reads like a potboiler, and a beautiful, lyric hymn to the power of social unrest in American history. It’s funny and harrowing, sweet and violent, innocent and experienced; it walks a dozen tightropes. Jess Walter is a national treasure.”

A Private History of Awe

by Scott Russell Sanders

Only $2.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“Dear Scott, I finished your book last night and I think it is splendid. Much in it is authentically beautiful, and it is beautifully and properly titled. It has gravity and pleasure and candor and gratitude and sorrow, all eloquent, and never a moment of ungenerosity. Every return of the theme of your love for Ruth put tears in my eyes. You matter so much to me that I have no idea what others will think of this book, but it is light and breath to me. Our poor country needs this book more than it knows, and I am anxious to find out how it will be received.” - Wendell Berry

The Dragonriders of Pern

Anne McCaffrey's Pern is one of the most memorable worlds in science fiction and fantasy. Humans and their flying dragon companions live in fear of thread, a caustic, deadly material that falls sporadically from space. But when the thread doesn't fall for a long time, people become complacent, forgetting that it is the brave dragonriders who can save them from the periodic threat. But when the thread falls, human and dragon heroes must fight the scourge. This edition encompasses the first three unforgettable novels of McCaffrey's epic series: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon.

To Flourish or Destruct: A Personalist Theory of Human Goods, Motivations, Failure, and Evil

by Christian Smith

Only $2.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle Edition

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“Speaking in a voice of common sense and reasonableness, and using everyday language, Smith blasts apart most of the assumptions of modern social science and relativism and sets up an alternative scaffolding of moral realism and the theoretical position he calls Personalism. This book represents a major advance in sociology and more specifically within critical realism, which is gradually emerging as a full-fledged alternative in the social sciences. I am fundamentally convinced by this book.” -George Steinmetz, University of Michigan

Nick Offerman (Narrator)

Only $6.99!!!

"[Berry] speaks out powerfully and poignantly on behalf of family farmers, their land, and their small towns. His spiritual vision of life is informed by a deep love of nature, a profound regard for the details of place, a respect for small-scale economies, and an advocacy of wise stewardship of the earth. Paul Kingsnorth chose the 31 essays for this handsome collection as ample evidence of Berry's inspiring defense of character qualities like rugged individualism, diligence, loyalty, and reverence for nature." ―Spirituality & Practice

The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right

by

Paperback - Only $9.35! (Save 51%)

*** The 2016 Book of the Year
at The Englewood Review of Books!!!

Buy Now

“Lisa Sharon Harper has presented the gospel, the good news, as it was meant to be—whole and complete. Our world has compromised so many elements of the good news that we are left with a divided gospel. We need to recover the whole Christian gospel, the wholeness of the church, the wholeness of relationships. Lisa has unleashed the whole-ism of shalom. Her application of the good news for America, for our culture, in the world, reminds us that God is bigger than our problems. My wish is that Christians and non-Christians alike read this book.”
—Dr. John Perkins

An Other Kingdom: Departing the Consumer Culture

Migrant God: A Christian Vision for Immigrant Justice

by Isaac Samuel Villegas

Paperback - Only $8.83! (Save 62%)

Buy Now

"Villegas envisions the church as a community shaped by radical hospitality and liturgical resistance, embodying a witness that is both countercultural and deeply pastoral. The result is public theology at its most vital, prophetic in its critique, pastoral in its care, and profoundly hopeful in its eschatological vision.” ―Missiology

Homegoing: A novel

by Yaa Gyasi

Only $1.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle Edition

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“Thanks to Ms. Gyasi’s instinctive storytelling gifts, the book leaves the reader with a visceral understanding of both the savage realities of slavery and the emotional damage that is handed down, over the centuries. . . . By its conclusion, the characters’ tales of loss and resilience have acquired an inexorable and cumulative emotional weight.” —The New York Times

Why I Am Not an Atheist: The Confessions of a Skeptical Believer

by Christopher Beha

Only $1.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle Edition

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“What makes Beha’s book so worthwhile [is] showing how religion at its best offers more than a theory of cultural renewal. As his there-and-back-again story conveys, faith can foster humility, of the mind and of the heart, and a desire to see others with the love that they believe God sees in people.” —Luis Parrales, The Atlantic

Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

by Isabel Wilkerson

Only $1.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“This book has the reverberating and patriotic slap of the best American prose writing. . . . Wilkerson has written a closely argued book that largely avoids the word ‘racism,’ yet stares it down with more humanity and rigor than nearly all but a few books in our literature. . . . It’s a book that changes the weather inside a reader.” —Dwight Garner, The NY Times

Church Tomorrow?: What the ‘Nones’ and ‘Dones’ Teach Us About the Future of Faith

by Stephanie Spellers

Only $2.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle

“With prophetic insights from voices long past and the testimony of today’s “nones and dones,” Stephanie Spellers subtly shifts the question from where did they go? to where does the church go? Church Tomorrow? is not a portrait of decline or uncertainty, but a call into conversation—a summons to rediscover what it means to be a people called out to embrace the dynamic, passionate, and incarnate movement of the gospel.” — Kelly Brown Douglas

The Need for Roots

by Simone Weil

Only 99c!!!

Buy Now - Kindle

“One of the most important writings of a unique, flawed and controversial genius, this book warns that modern societies will only be able to resist fascism by a wholesale spring-cleaning of our political imagination in the light of spiritual practice. An excellent, lucid and readable new translation.” — Rowan Williams

The Beautiful Mystery: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel

by Louise Penny

Only $1.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle Edition

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“An entire mystery novel centering on Gregorian chants (whose curiously hypnotic allure is called the "beautiful mystery")? Yes, indeed, and in the hands of the masterful Penny, the topic proves every bit as able to transfix readers as the chants do their listeners.”
—Booklist (starred review)

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power

by Shoshana Zuboff

Only $1.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

“If a book’s importance is gauged by how effectively it describes the world we’re in, and how much potential it has to change said world, then in my view it’s easily the most important book to be published this century... Zuboff is concerned with the largest act of capitalist colonisation ever attempted, but the colonisation is of our minds, our behaviour, our free will, our very selves. Yet it’s not an anti‑tech book. It’s anti unregulated capitalism, red in tooth and claw. It’s really this generation’s Das Kapital.”—Zadie Smith

It’s 2056 and international oligarchs have pushed the world to the precipice of ecological, economic, and nuclear catastrophe. But two philanthropists have teamed up to establish a long-term colony on Mars. Could this daring outpost be the next chapter in the story of the human race? Assembling a crack team of experts including scientists, engineers and ecologists, the colony begins to establish a viable outpost on our nearest planet. But the team quickly runs into problems as they bear the responsibility of creating a new humanity. Can they work out what has gone wrong before it’s too late? And will the passengers of the last voyage from earth bring what’s needed for this fledging community to flourish?

Invisible Jesus: A Book about Leaving the Church and Looking for Christ

by and

Only $2.99!!!

Buy Now - Kindle Edition

Buy Now - Kobo Edition

In their sympathetic and insightful book, Scot McKnight and Tommy Phillips helpfully point out that when a sensitive Christian soul realizes that a consumerist, politicized, fundamentalist, scandal-ridden Christianity looks nothing like the enduring beauty of Christ, deconstruction is conversion. Deconstruction doesn’t have to be the end of faith; instead, it can be the beginning of a better faith. Invisible Jesus is a timely gift from a scholar and a pastor who genuinely want to help people find an expression of Christianity centered on Jesus Christ. -

“The Eternal Current is an impassioned call to move beyond spiritual observation into divine participation. Jesus didn’t invite us to simply believe about the River of God; he invited us to swim! By learning from the perennial wisdom of the wide Christian community, Aaron has written a book that will launch you in your practice from the transcendent to the particular, and it will draw you in your faith perspective from the particular to the transcendent.”
—Fr. Richard Rohr

Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence—forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening “rifts” onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.

This is a vision of faith as a grand and unifying struggle with the very nature of being, and it is both deeply thought and deeply felt. It is a reminder, in a time when too much that is evil happens in the name of creed, that the search for God can be transcendent and exquisite. Tippett's prose is lyrical and elegant, and her formulations are wise and profound; her arguments should move the secularist and the dogmatist alike to a new vision of peace." -Andrew Solomon
