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.

As the world entered a long dark night, Philip Yancey returned to a nearly 400-year-old manuscript for guidance. In it, he found a trustworthy companion for living through a global pandemic - or any other crisis. As Yancey says, "Nothing had prepared me for John Donne's raw account of confrontations with God." Preacher and poet John Donne wrote Devotions in 1623, during a pandemic in his city of London. For a month he lay sick, hearing the church bell toll for others while wondering if his death would be next. From what he believed to be his death bed, the great poet wrote a triumph of literature that has given us such familiar phrases as "No man is an island..." and "Never send to know for whom the bell tolls..." This new version of a classic work is arranged as a 30-day reader based on Donne's meditations, with startling relevance as we face similar questions.

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.
