Quotations of the Month:

"As Christians and artists, our ideas are derived not just from our own free-floating sensibilities and some accompanying aesthetic, but they have reference to a system of faith bigger than we are, with creation and gospel at its heart."
(Luci Shaw, Breath for the Bones)

"I have become a more spiritual person because I write. The creative process is a spiritual one, and when we receive it as such, it deepens our gifts and edifies us in general. To write true stories, I must encounter truth, and as Jesus says, the truth makes us free."
(Vinita Hampton Wright, The Soul Tells a Story

News:

Forgiveness: Following Jesus Into Radical Loving is scheduled for publication this November by Paraclete Press. The thesis of the book is that Christian forgiveness is unique among all the great world religions, and is integral to Jesus' call to love one another as he first loved us. The book looks at the question of evil, the apparent contradiction between justice and mercy, ways in which we can indulge in false forgiveness, and ways we can prepare ourselves to forgive and be forgiven.
