Years after writing Blue Like Jazz, Miller fell into a funk and spent months sleeping in and avoiding his publisher. One story had ended, and he was unsure how to start another. When two movie producers approach him about making a movie based on Blue Like Jazz, they tell him his real life is "too boring" (can you imagine someone telling you that?!) and that they need to create a structured narrative out of his meanderings. Intrigued by what he learns about the principles of story and realizing that they are the same principles that make a good life, Miller begins to make changes. He literally edits his life as if he were a character in a movie, opening up to new experiences, journeys, relationships, motivations and character development.

On April 27, 1934, a little boy was born who grew up to become a vagabond evangelist in patchwork pants fiercely daring us to believe—God loves you as you are and not as you should be. His name is Brennan Manning. He has boldly preached of a love of Jesus vast, unmeasured, boundless and free. And he has faithfully pointed to a tender, elemental fury that blows where it wills; in a word, grace. But before the fame of his ragamuffin gospel, Brennan Manning was a son, brother, soldier, journalist, priest, husband, father and friend. This is that part of the story, a necessary piece of the larger puzzle of grace...the story of a man whose name has not always been Brennan.

Experiencing the playful, disruptive, extravagant personality of Jesus... Jesus was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass. Eldredge removes the religious varnish...to uncover (or better yet, recover) Jesus himself. And Christmas is the perfect time. We love this book! Enough said.

How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask the Questions... Over 80 years after the Scopes Monkey Trial made a mockery of Christian fundamentalism and a spectacle of her hometown of Dayton, Tennessee, Evans explains how evangelicalism survived by successfully adapting to a modern environment. As a result, the conservative Christian community so embraced modern rationalism that she grew up in a culture obsessed with apologetics. But when rehearsed, theological answers about religious pluralism, human suffering, biblical interpretation, science and eternity fail to quiet her own doubts, she finds herself in the midst of an honest faith crisis that forces her to reconsider all she thought she knew about God, concluding that if her faith is to survive in a postmodern world, it must once again adapt to its environment and evolve. A personal journey from certainty... through doubt...to faith.

Jim Henderson pays people to go to church...and even "rented" a soul on E-Bay. In 2006, Jim hired Casper, an atheist copywriter and musician, to join him in visiting 12 of America’s best-and least-known-churches. They documented their honest experiences and reactions to each one. An open and authentic friendsip developed as they talked, questioned, joked and-most importantly-listened. Every Christian who cares about the church and the impression created by the body of Christ should read this-pastor, church leader and all the rest of us. You’ll be really surprised by the fresh and intelligent insight of an atheist looking at us from the outside in. by Jim Henderson & Matt Casper

Essays and Art on Fear, Confession, and Grace. It all started with one question on her blog: \"What is one thing you feel you can\'t say in church?\" Hundreds from all around the world responded with confessions (many in the form of art). Everyone had a story. Overwhelmed by the response and tired of keeping brokenness in the dark, Anne decided to explore the possibility of honest, real confession among saints and sinners. With raw honesty and humor, Anne shares her own struggles-of addiction and the ensuing lifestyle that left her wounded and withdrawn-and writes about the tension between brokenness and holiness, cutting through Christians\' polite masks of \"everything\'s fine\" and into the secret shames we hide. Can faith and real life coexist? Can someone really live a life of no secrets? Can we really speak freely in the church today?

Karen writes, "There’s no question that these are troubling times. Maybe even the end of times. I don’t know. I’m not a prophet. But I am a person who has grown tired of being manipulated by fear and negativity-whether it’s coming from headline news, the New York Times best seller list, the pulpit at the First Signs of Christ Forgotten, or simply from the corner booth of my own mental ramblings." Frankly, Christians are letting fear blind us to the love of the very God we worship. How is it that those of us who claim to be so firmly founded can be so easily shaken? Where’s your Jesus now? Social commentary, insightful spirituality and a quick wit in a profound meditation on the nature of faith, the evidence of things not yet seen. by Karen Spears Zacharias
