Tracking the Maze: Finding Our Way Through Modern Theology from an Evangelical Perspective

Behr's work is fascinating, particularly as his readings of Irenaean texts concerning the complex question of the relationship of soul, breath of life and the Holy Spirit differ significantly from standard interpretations.

&ldquo;Readers will be sold on the loyal relationships, the snarky dialogue, and the adventurous ocean battle scenes.&rdquo;-Booklist"Adventure, romance, and the return of Neill's strong heroine make for an engrossing installment. This will delight series fans and new readers alike."&ndash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;A Swift and Savage Tide is perhaps even better than A&#160;Bright and Breaking Sea, but it cannot be fully enjoyed without having read that first book in the series. New readers should be informed, therefore, that the two books are best enjoyed when read back to back, all while drinking a cup of heavily sugared tea alongside a pile of Kit's favorite pistachio nougats. The lack of sleep (and cavities) are well worth the effort for such engrossing reads.&rdquo;--BookPage&ldquo;I was caught up by the gripping action, the colorful characters, and it was nail-biting all through to the end.&rdquo;&mdash;Hooked by that Book &#160;Praise for The Bright and Breaking Sea:&ldquo;Magic and sea battles set in a world that gives more than a nod to the Napoleonic wars&mdash;entertaining and fun!&rdquo;&mdash;Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Bitten&ldquo;A heroine worth cheering for and some magic I wish I could tap into myself. Set sail with Captain Kit Brightling; you'll like the cut of this story's jib.&rdquo; &mdash;Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of Ink & Sigil&ldquo;Neill&rsquo;s creative reinterpretation of the Napoleonic Wars is diverse and gripping, and the growing bond between the well-matched Kit and Grant is sure to conquer readers&rsquo; hearts.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

The Odyssey of a Japanese-American POW

One Thousand Days in Siberia

“As a kid growing up my heroes in life were the Lone Ranger and Tonto, "The Masked Rider of the Plains!" I just discovered another lone ranger—Chris Whaley. If you’re in need of encouragement and you love it when truth overcomes evil and when the underdog rallies to pull out a win, you’re going to love The Masked Saint. It’s a good one.” – Dr. Kevin Leman, author of Have a New Kid by Friday

“Having read The Masked Saint by Chris Whaley, I can commend this book to you as an enjoyable and sometimes humorous recounting of a young pastor’s life and ministry even though that life and ministry follow a different path than most. His style and presentation encourage believers to put away prejudices and to accept the life transforming power of our Lord Jesus Christ. I recommend this book to you and pray you will enjoy it as I did." – Dr. Frank Page, President, Southern Baptist Convention, 2006–2008

“Body-slamming a deserving criminal? Now that is a fleeting image to which almost every pastor can confess. Whaley, a former professional wrestler turned Baptist pastor, gives us an entertaining and fictional peek at what might happen if pastors actually did some of the things they wished they could do. Many a pastor will sympathize readily with this shrouded champion who rights wrongs and defends the defenseless though the Scriptures prevent us all from imitating his costumed combat in real life.” – Dr. Paige Patterson, President Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas

“For his maiden voyage as an author, Chris Whaley has done a superb piece of work. Writing as a minister he captures great truth in a pragmatic way. This is an excellent read for parents and young people. He brings tributaries of ethics and experience together and forms a river of moral truth. I like it!” – Dr. John Sullivan, Executive Director-Treasurer, Florida Baptist Convention

“Growing up watching professional wrestling and fulfilling my own dream of wrestling for WCW and the WWF you always somehow knew the good guy wins in the end! Everyone has a little Chris Whaley in them! Who would have ever thought of combining a wrestler with a superhero could be so entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; he says and does what many of us wish we had done. His honest look at himself and his life is a testament to a stand up guy that loves God and his family. You inspire me!” – Marc Mero, WWF Intercontinental Champion/Johnny B. Badd/WCW World Television Champion

“Everyone has a story. My friend Chris Whaley tells his with humor, transparency, honesty and insight. His is a unique story of God’s grace and faithfulness. He shares both the joys and challenges of serving Christ. I believe spiritual seekers, committed believers, and church leaders will all be encouraged by his story. There are lessons to learn and principles to glean from this journey of faith. Thanks, Chris, for pulling off the mask and letting us inside.” – Dr. Willie Rice, President, Florida Baptist Convention, 2007-2008

“A novel about a wrestler turned Baptist preacher brought to mind a few non-fiction church business meetings I’ve unfortunately witnessed where the pastor may have wished he could have employed the moves of the Masked Saint! Although "The Masked Saint" exposes the sinfulness that is all too common in churches, Chris Whaley’s entertaining novel intersperses those sad episodes with encouraging lessons of God’s grace—often from the lips of a common while profound elderly woman. It turns out, the Masked Saint is no superhero; like the rest of us, he is a sinner saved by grace seeking to share that message of hope with other sinners in need of a Savior. That’s what makes "The Masked Saint" a novel all can enjoy.” – Dr. James A. Smith, Executive Editor, Florida Baptist Witness

“Chris Whaley reminds us that pastors, like many of us, have previous lives of varying backgrounds. His first book, "The Masked Saint," blends, in a fictional account, the unique perspectives of a professional wrestler, now pastor, as he confronts right against wrong and good versus evil. When the final bell rings, we find ourselves in his corner.” – F. Robert Radel, II, J.D., Butler Pappas, Tampa, Florida

“Chris Whaley has written a fascinating adventure of a man coming to grips with who he is, and who God is. It is challenging, entertaining and heart warming. Every pastor and every man should read this book!” – Patrick Moody, Former Hollywood Actor/Director, Senior Pastor, The Village Baptist Church, West Palm Beach, Florida

“A fascinating story with colorful characters and a story theme that warms the heart.” – Dr. Paul R. Corts, President, Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, former Assistant Attorney General

&ldquo;I love this book so much.&#160;How dare Sarah deliver such an extraordinary world?&#160;I doubt I'll ever stop thinking about A Bit Much. Sarah Jackson beautifully illuminates the complexities behind her themes of anxiety, sorrow, friendship, and heartache, and delivers characters who are achingly real in their vulnerabilities, neuroses, and pursuits of hope. Sarah Jackson's work is a vital examination of what it means to be seen and understood, and the way friendship transcends almost everything to create the life rafts that sustain us. A Bit Much is perfect.&rdquo; &mdash;Anne T. Donahue, bestselling author of Nobody Cares"What do you do when the one person in the world who understands the ugliest and most glorious parts of you may be dying? Is it possible to love while suffering anticipatory grief? Sarah Jackson answers these questions with a flourish, in a wickedly funny voice that captures all the awkward nuances of being twenty-four. Her debut novel is an audacious celebration of the young women who are too often told they are a bit much."&mdash;Doretta Lau, author of How Does a Single Blade of Grass Thank the Sun?&ldquo;By turns biting, melancholic&#160;and&#160;searingly&#160;funny, Sarah Jackson&rsquo;s A Bit Much is a beautifully observed story of female friendship, loss and being a young artist in a big&#160;city.&#160;She incisively captures the ambitions and uncertainty of&#160;entering&#160;adult life.&rdquo; &mdash;Haley McGee, author of The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale&ldquo;A discerning look into the often painful and yet intricately rewarding ecosystems of female relationships.&rdquo;&mdash;Anna Maxymiw, author of Minique
