Or The Great Battle And The Golden Age (1861)

The Coming Crisis Of The World

&ldquo;I love Brother Steindl-Rast, and all of his work, especially this latest.&#160; He is right up there for me with C.S. Lewis, Denise Levertov, and the great Frederick Buechner.&#160; I am sure I'll read Deeper Than Words many times over the years.&rdquo; &ndash; Anne Lamott, author of Traveling Mercies&#160;&ldquo;I have always felt that in endorsing a book I was honoring the book and its author. Brother David&rsquo;s Deeper Than Words, however, brought a new and startling sensation: I found myself sensing that the book was honoring me by allowing me to endorse it. Never before have I felt this way about a book&hellip; This book belongs on every pastor&rsquo;s desk, and on the nightstand beside the bed of every Christian who is trying to deepen his or her spiritual life.&rdquo; &ndash; Huston Smith, author of The World&rsquo;s Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions&#160;&ldquo;Beautiful and profound. With mystic vision and poetic clarity, Brother David opens us to the eternal vision behind the creed.&rdquo; &ndash; Jack Kornfield, author of The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teaching of Buddhist Psychology&#160;&ldquo;There is only one Brother David! To be in his presence is to know the possibility of walking faithfully on one chosen path, while not only respecting other faiths, but also studying them rigorously and experiencing them joyfully. In Deeper than Words, he distills a lifetime of insight into an inspiring book that can enlighten all of us to the universal similarities and the noble particularities of the world&rsquo;s wisdom traditions.&rdquo; &ndash; Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder Omega Institute and author of The Seekers Guide and Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow&#160;&ldquo;A stunning analysis. It may not make a believer out of you but it will show you the depth meaning of the Apostles&rsquo; Creed.&rdquo; &ndash; Sam Keen, author of In the Absence of God: Dwelling in the Presence of the Sacred&#160;&ldquo;A timely, profound, and important book. Highly recommended for individuals who want a spirituality that makes sense!&rdquo; &ndash; Ken Wilber, Integral Spirituality&#160;&ldquo;Brother David has chosen as his text the Apostles&rsquo; Creed, a fundamental expression of Christian faith.&#160; He approaches it by asking point by point, What does this mean?&#160; How do we know?&#160; And why is it important? The open-hearted candor of his answers to these questions, reaching into his own living and contemporary experience, is what gives his words value and power&hellip; I am sure many readers will join me in feeling grateful to Brother David for his kindness in writing this book.&rdquo; &ndash; His Holiness the Dalai Lama&#160;&ldquo;When Brother David enters into the heart and mind of his listener something new happens to them and they know it.&rdquo; &ndash; Henri Nouwen, author of Return of the Prodigal Son

Hilarious.&rdquo;&mdash;Janet Maslin, The New York Times &#160; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s impossible not to get sucked into this satirical novel about the jet-setting lives of an enormous busybody family and its infinite Louboutin collection.&rdquo;&mdash;Glamour &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s rich, there&rsquo;s filthy rich, and then there&rsquo;s crazy rich. . . . A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up.&rdquo;&mdash;People&#160; &#160; &ldquo;If this isn&rsquo;t the funniest book so far this year, it&rsquo;s up there. . . . Kwan, who grew up in Singapore, skewers his subjects deftly, stylishly, and completely&mdash;but with heart.&rdquo;&mdash;The Denver Post  &#160; &ldquo;Deliciously decadent. . . .

Crazy Rich Asians

&#8220;We&#8217;ve always known in our heart of hearts that the best of the country was bottom-up, not top-down, and now Bob Dotson, with this superb new book, proves us right.&#160; These are remarkable and poignant and important stories that need to be told.&#8221;~Ken Burns&#160;&#8220;Here's a great American storyteller who realizes he's met his match in the people he meets. Bob Dotson gives us a thoroughly intimate view of America... with the bark off. This is the unmistakable and sturdy America we know.&#8221;~Brian Williams&#160;&#8220;Bob Dotson's stories take you on a journey to the places that live in your heart. His words, and the images he creates with them,&#160; connect you to friends, family, and everyone who shares the DNA of being American.&#8221;~Matt Lauer&#160;&#8220;Throughout his remarkable career Bob Dotson has searched for the real essence of America--not by interviewing the so-called famous, but by seeking out those unnoticed&#160; people we pass by everyday. Those quiet souls are the ones who &#8216;live up to the brag,&#8217; as he puts it, and remind us what truly makes this country great.&#160; Every story they tell is a jewel...and Dotson a national treasure for caring enough to listen.&#8221;~Meredith Vieira&#160;&#8220;Those of us who know and work with Bob Dotson stand in awe of his gifts as a writer. Like the work so many viewers have come to love on NBC, this collection of stories captivates and inspires.&#8221;~Savannah Guthrie

American Story

"A wry, crackly voice. . . . Fine, funny, and very moving pictures of contemporary life [from] a writer of enormous talent." &#8212;The New York Times"Brisk, ironic . . . scalpel-sharp. . . . A funny, cohesive, and moving collection of stories." &#8212;The New York Times Book Review"Astonishing. . . . Moore is so good at trapping each moment in perfect, precise detail, so masterful at cynicism and wryness that her moments of poignancy and sweetness catch us completely off guard."  &#8212;San Francisco Chronicle&#8220;Sharp, flicking, on-target . . . the work of a sorcerer&#8217;s apprentice. Moore casts a cruel, mischievous spell.&#8221; &#8212;Vanity Fair&#8220;Trenchant, funny tales. . . . Moore is much more than another chronicler of the chronically out-of-sync relations between American men and women. She writes with urgency and pace.&#8221; &#8212;People

&ldquo;[A Tale of Two Cities] has the best of Dickens and the worst of Dickens: a dark, driven opening, and a celestial but melodramatic ending; a terrifyingly demonic villainess and (even by Dickens&rsquo; standards) an impossibly angelic heroine. Though its version of the French Revolution is brutally simplified, its engagement with the immense moral themes of rebirth and terror, justice, and sacrifice gets right to the heart of the matter . . . For every reader in the past hundred and forty years and for hundreds to come, it is an unforgettable ride.&rdquo; &ndash;from the Introduction by Simon Schama

&ldquo;Piercingly beautiful. . . . Aldrich&rsquo;s pioneer woman was based on her mother, and the integrity of her depiction of life in a sod house in the late nineteeth-century Nebraska speaks to her readers. . . . In her own introduction Aldrich writes of wanting to tell her mother&rsquo;s story after her mother&rsquo;s death: &lsquo;Other writers had depicted the Midwest&rsquo;s early days, but so often they had pictured their women as gaunt, browbeaten creatures, despairing women whom life seemed to defeat. That was not my mother. Not with her courage, her humor, her nature that would cause her to say at the end of her life: &lsquo;We had the best time in the world.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Belles Lettres &ldquo;The language is good and sturdy and dotted with imaginative metaphors and similes (&lsquo;Silence, so deep, that it roared in its vast vacuum&rsquo;). If the book tries to crowd too much life into 300 pages, well, there was a lot of life: &lsquo;We old pioneers,&rsquo; Abbie says at the end, &lsquo;we dreamed dreams into the country.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Milwaukee Journal
