By Amy Garza
This is an unusually sensitive book by an unusually gifted writer. A slightly fictionalized biography of the author’s grandmother, Retter, it radiates out from a center–and this center is the courage and loving-kindness of an extraordinary mountain woman. We can speak of courage and love and wisdom, and learn something about them in the abstract, but it is not until we meet these virtues in a woman like Retter that we can truly comprehend. Retter, forgetful of self, is like indomitable sunrise. Finally, as your read this book, you will be introduced to an amazingly sensitive, caring person—Amy Ammons Garza. Amy writes with courage and a love of her own. She knows and delivers the fine detail of the human heart because she believes in that heart—devoutly.

By Alice Govig, Alice T. Govig
In 1934 Frank Buchman's Oxford Group movement, a precursor to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), was invited to Norway. It made a deep impression upon Ronald Fangen, a young novelist and dramatist. Thereafter, as a Christian humanist, he attempted to persuade the Church to appreciate and learn from the Arts since such efforts would support the proclamation of its message. His writings beckon readers to sense with him the constant tension to communicate in the best way the Christian message in each generation; with this tension Fangen wrestled. The challenge continues today.

By Jack Jamison
Based upon a true story of Jack, this raucous tale begins when he is a child, a mother's boy, dominated by older brother Bill. Jack admired Bill for his superior imagination, physical prowess, and braininess, traits that made Bill a combination of Tom Sawyer and Tom Jones. The social milieu of the times affected them, ordering choices in their lives. Misdeeds characterized their behavior as they tried to become knowledgeable about sex, adult ways, and athletics in western North Carolina in a time of depression, war, and adjustment. Jack experienced his troublesome early high school years, including his father's death that left him feeling they had never bonded. Bill got religion in a dramatic turn. Following Bill to a college where bigotry reigned, Jack transferred to another college, where he flourished. Again following Bill, Jack entered a seminary, but after two years, parted from Bill, his bother, and the seminary. Leaving the seminary due to theological/philosophical disagreements, he moved to Fort Worth, took an aircraft factory job, and became enamored of women of the evening. Happenstance led Jack to teaching, as Bill became a minister. Slow growth to maturity stalked Jack's path to success and marriage.

By Harvard University Press, George Seferis
In 1967, George Seferis decided the time had finally come to publish at least a portion of his journals. As he was preparing his manuscript for the printer, however, the political climate in Greece became increasingly unpropitious for such an undertaking. Soon he did not feel free to publish in his own country, and in those ominous days there were even some fears for the safety of his unpublished manuscripts. Shortly before his death on September 20, 1971, he entrusted a copy of the journal to his friend Athan Anagnostopoulos with the request that he translate it, publish it, and that Walter Kaiser write the introduction for American readers.

By Reece Halsey MAIN, Joyce Howard
Henry Miller described himself as a confused, negligent, reckless, lusty, obscene, boisterous, thoughtful, scrupulous, lying, diabolically truthful man...filled with wisdom and nonsense. These letters, penned by the controversial author of Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring, represent Henry Miller's sexual and moral summing-up. They chart the infatuation, marriage and eventual disillusionment of Miller with his fifth wife Hoki Tokuda, a talented Japanese musician almost fifty years his junior. In its almost dangerous candor and its melancholy recognition of love's failure to sustain happiness, this volume deserves to be viewed as the culminating statement of Miller's interior life.
