Warren Hamilton Lewis (brother of C. S. Lewis) and Blanche Biggs (a missionary in Papua New Guinea) shared a vibrant correspondence. Their collected letters paint a colorful portrait, illuminating not only the particulars of distant times and places, but the intimate contours of a rare friendship.
Acclaimed author Philip Yancey renders 17th century poet John Donne's meditations on suffering into modern English, revealing that Donne's world of the plague was not so very different from our own.
For the first time, National Book Award-winner Walter Wangerin, Jr., turns his keen eye upon the craft of writing. By adding a lifetime of experience to the wisdom and examples of other writers (Shakespeare, Goethe, Berry, Chaucer, and many more), he builds for us an intricate picture of the craft and its subtlties. But in revealing his personal missteps, his own processes, and his own story, Wangerin provides lampposts for young writers as they embark on the long road toward mastery.Through practical advice, ethical considerations, and a master's definition of art itself, Wangerin draws us all closer to what it means to write--and to write well.
When Allen Levi's brother, Gary, was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, neither realized they were about to embark on the best year of their lives. More than mere brothers, Allen and Gary were best friends, life-long bachelors, one a lawyer turned singer-songwriter, the other a globe-trotting missions worker. Their relationship was one of rare and powerful beauty, and in this rich memoir, Levi captures the small yet telling details of a life lived to the fullest-right up to the finish line. Like Sheldon Vanauken's A Severe Mercy, Levi's The Last Sweet Mile gives us a tale of both great loss and enduring faith, demonstrating that love is a refining fire, brotherhood a holy gift, and death itself a doorway to a wedding feast. The Last Sweet Mile is not only a testament to the life of Gary Levi, it is a testament to the hope that shaped and sustained him.
