This book is for serious reflection by believers who believe that in Christ, God has truly come into our world, and are asking themselves - why has this coming not made a bigger difference? This book is for all kinds of Christians, and people curious about Christianity, and considers the failure of Christianity to truly transform the world, asks why, and reflects on various insights gathered over time. For it is not that God has failed to give us the power to make this world truly a heaven on earth. It is that most of us have never tried to live out its message. The reader is invited to come on a quest or journey with the author. Explore the unfulfilled promise of Christianity, but beware - when you go out on a journey or a quest, you might never come back. This book is recommended for small groups, as a starting point for reflection and discussion.
Women Writing: On the Edge of Dark and Light is a collection of works by Tacoma-area poets. Catherine Place in Tacoma is a space of healing, hope, and connection for all women and serves nearly 1,500 women each year. Named for Catherine of Siena, a 14th century Dominican who worked to effect change in the society of her day, Catherine Place fosters community learning and growth, leadership, support, and empowerment for women. The poets represented in this anthology are members of the Inscape poetry group, which has been meeting weekly at Catherine Place for the past five years. The group is facilitated by Kay Mullen, who edited this collection. While poets weave in and out of the group according to their own needs and circumstances, an ongoing group continues to meet each week, and all have discovered the power poetry continues to play in their lives. Proceeds from the sale of this anthology will support Catherine Place's ongoing work with women in transition.

Join the author in enjoying the stories and celebrating this wonderful man who started his life in the country of Burma.
SEASONING THE SOUL invites the reader on a contemplative journey through the year, through poems, photographs, reflections, and blessings.
Winner of the 2016 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Nancy Pearl Award for Best Book--Memoir, The Sweet Dell is a hopeful and captivating true story that transports the reader into the dark years of Nazi-occupied Holland. Arrested on October 6, 1943, Dr. Pieter Schoorl listened to the heavy iron doors of a basement cell in the Gestapo's Amsterdam headquarters close behind him. It had been easy for him to hide the first Jew-a blonde-haired, blue-eyed three-year-old. And had Dr. Schoorl and his wife Anne helped only the one child, this would be a far simpler story. But the pleas for help never ended. Dutch commandoes met at the Schoorls' kitchen table, and shot-down Allied pilots shared breakfast with their five children. Jews continually arrived at the Schoorls' farm unannounced in the dark of night. The couple eventually filled their two homes with "guests." When there was no room left, they searched the countryside for more hiding places-addresses as they called them. One hundred forty thousand Jews lived in Holland before the war, fewer than 10,000 would survive. This is the story of how a handful of those survivors endured, a story that invites the reader to consider the price paid to do-in the words of Dr. Schoorl-"what any man should do."
