B&H Publishing Group, 2004

A New View
Miller takes many of the stereotype definitions of Christianity and Christian by giving them a new twist with examples from everyday life. He wants to show that we are all a work in progress. This is a collection of articles he has written over several years and well-worth the read.

Happenstance: Two Novels in One About a Marriage in Transition

Carol Shields

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1994

Should be a classic in the "relationship novel" genre
I'm surprised at the way the Kirkus review above mischaracterizes this wonderful novel. I read the husband's half of the story first, since Shields wrote that one first. The author does a masterful job of not repeating herself at all, amazing considering she's covering the same basic period of time as experienced by two halves of a single marriage (though the wife is away for several days at ...

Marvelous Writing from a Marvelous Writer
You must buy this book. I'd pre-ordered it here at Amazon, and when it arrived, I tore into it greedily and was done in a matter of hours. Toni's writing is like that for me. On occasion, I'll stumble across her work in San Francisco Chronicle Magazine--and I recognized some of the pieces in this book as having been originally published there--and I can count on having the same basic response to ...
