James H. McConkey A Man of God
“James McConkey was a most unusual man, deeply spiritual and widely used. Miss McCraw has written a very instructive and interesting memoir. Many well known servants of Christ appear in these pages who in one way or another were in contact with Mr. McConkey, giving a marvelous realization of what true Christian fellowship is. I am glad to commend the book heartily to the people of God.” H. A. Ironside, LITT.D. Pastor, Moody Memorial Church, Chicago

Court of Memory
These sequential meditations by one of our most skillful writers constitute a unique genre -- part autobiography, part introspection, part observation, part narrative -- in which a life is continually re-examined in the light of experience and time. Taking personal experience as his core, McConkey builds upon it to reveal connections and create an encompassing "court of memory." We come to know him, his family, his friends, and in the process we recognize elements of our own lives as well. The nexus through which these words pass is the writer's memory. His opening quotation from St. Augustine tells much about both the man and his vision: "All this I do inside me, in the huge court of my memory. There I have by me the sky, the earth, the sea, and all the things in them which I have been able to perceive... There too I encounter myself." Book jacket.
The Way of Victory
James H. McConkey's classic on holiness and victory. Originally published in 1928, this book never gained the status of his "Three-Fold Secret of the Holy Spirit" but is just as powerful a book. All the type has been reset from scratch - this is not just a simple OCR copy.

From reviews of Court of Memory:“The genre in which McConkey does his writing has no name. He invented it. What McConkey does is to create meaning out of ordinary life…he'll create what is not exactly a story but a pattern in time.” NOEL PERRIN, USA Today“The beauty and exceptional worth…of Court of Memory, an assemblage of…autobiographical meditations by a novelist and short story writer...
To a Distant Island
In 1890, Anton Chekhov, already a prominent Russian literary figure, travelled 6,500 miles to Sakhalin island, off the coast of Siberia. Willing visitors to this island were rare; rather, its inhabitants were people who had been sent there: prisoners and their families, guards, soldiers, and doctors. What was it that Chekhov sought on this terrible island? Almost a century later, James McConkey traveled to Italy and researched Chekhov's letters, memoirs, and an account of his journey to Sakhalin island. McConkey recreates that journey, weaving it with his own and telling two stories that reveal the peculiar and hidden forces that shape our lives.
