Religion and American Literature Since 1950
From Flannery O'Connor and James Baldwin to the post-9/11 writings of Don DeLillo, imaginative writers have often been the most insightful chroniclers of the USA's changing religious life since the end of World War II. Exploring a wide range of writers from Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and secular faiths, this book is an in-depth study of contemporary fiction's engagement with religious belief, identity and practice. Through readings of major writers of our time like Saul Bellow, E. L. Doctorow, Philip Roth, Marilynne Robinson and John Updike, Mark Eaton discovers a more nuanced picture of the varieties of American religious experience: that they are more commonplace than cultural ideas of progressive secularisation or faith-based polarization might suggest.

And I Heard the Mourner Say
Ezekiel Cottrell is a kindhearted young man with a desire to live a quiet life in his small rural mountain community. However, any expectations he has for his life are soon uprooted when he finds himself wrongfully accused of the murder of Thomas Kean. As Ezekiel tells the story of his life from then on, he offers insights into his greatest triumphs and defeats, delving into forgotten joys and griefs, all the while showing how the events of his life shaped and reshaped him time and time again. "This book is about pain and loss and finding hope and purpose therein. It is about the irreverent decimation of goodness and the journey to find it again. The story of The Woodsman is a story about life; it has love and hate; pain and redemption; and the ever-patient, beckoning hand of the Good Lord." - M. D. Eaton

Developing Your Spiritual Eyesight
Offering a blend of stories, commentary and life application, this book serves as a study guide to the New Testament book of Ephesians. It is primarily written for seekers or followers of Christ who want to grow in their spiritual maturity and understanding. This book may be used by teachers, pastors and small group leaders in preparing lessons, sermons or small group studies.
