Black Paper
A profound book of essays from a celebrated master of the form. “Darkness is not empty,” writes Teju Cole in Black Paper, a book that meditates on what it means to sustain our humanity—and witness the humanity of others—in a time of darkness. One of the most celebrated essayists of his generation, Cole here plays variations on the essay form, modeling ways to attend to experience—not just to take in but to think critically about what we sense and what we don’t.

That tradition has imagined that the moral agent is primarily a problem solver and world changer when what might be needed most is a witness. Moral theory has been agonized by dualism – motivation is analyzed into beliefs and desires, descriptions of facts and dissatisfactions with them, while action is represented as an effort to lessen dissatisfaction by altering the empirical world.

Chamber Music
Arcing across thirty years and seven volumes, Jan Zwicky’s poetry has always been acutely musical (and sensitive to the silence out of which music comes). In the compositions in Chamber Music, the first anthology of Zwicky’s poems, one may perceive the attunement of her vocations: poet, philosopher, violinist. Her poetry both praises and relinquishes the earth, bearing witness to the fierce skies of the prairies and the freezing rain of the West Coast.

The Road to Bethany
In the little village of Bethany, Mary found her purpose in life seated at the Master's feet. Like her, all believers can find a resting place in Him. When the cares of life fail to distract us and His purpose for us becomes clearer, we see Him for what He truly is, the loving Father of us all. Readers will learn the secrets of perseverance in the face of great trial from champions in the faith; see the face that Moses saw when He met with God on the mountain; and glean from the insights of those who have successfully gone before and received their heavenly crowns. The Road to Bethany is a quiet journey of reflection and inspiration which will refresh and encourage every reader. Arranged somewhat incrementally, these essays are deliberately simple at first, then gradually increasing in depth as the road continues upward and draws closer to the Master. Perfect for personal devotions, quiet reflection or group study, these essays speak to the place in every heart that longs to know Him in a more intimate way.
