They transcend the self-assured shouting matches of this latest expression of the culture wars by engaging in rigorous, polychromatic Christian reflection that considers the extent to which the atheistic critique-both new and old-might help the church move toward a mor...

The dance between words on a page has the ability to move us in many directions. How we react to those words, both as a reader and a writer, tells more about ourselves than we might think.This book is a collection of poems ranging from Space to Earth to Family — from the vastness of the Universe to the intimacies of interpersonal relationships. Life, and the meaning of life, is many things to many people. Examine our existence. Examine ourselves. Can we draw many parallels? Maybe.
