Saints, Sinners and Martyrs
The story of the Lutheran influence on the Reformation in England and Scotland, told through the lives of some of the main characters. Roy Long sketches the life stories, teachings and influence of some of the famous players in the history of the Reformation in Britain - such as Henry VIII and his wives, and the five Thomases: Becket, Wolsey, More, Cromwell and Cranmer - as well as several less famous ones. An accessible yet learned overview for anyone interested in this complex period of church, told from a Lutheran angle.
Long Time Leaving
In this acerbic, eminently quotable book, humorist Roy Blount Jr. focuses on his own dueling loyalties across the great American divide. Scholarly, raunchy, biting, and affable, Blount takes on topics ranging from chicken fingers and yellow dog Democrats to Elvis's toes while sharing some experiences of his own: chatting with Ray Charles, meeting an Okefenokee alligator, imagining Faulkner's tennis game, and being swept up, sort of, in the filming of Nashville. His yarns, analyses, and flights of fancy transcend all standard shades of Red, Blue, and in between. Blount's sidesplitting, irreverent musings may not end our tacit Civil War at long last, but they do clarify, or aptly complicate, divisive delusions on both sides of the long–standing national rift. Long Time Leaving is a comic ode to American variety and a droll assault on complacency both North and South from one of the most definitive and esteemed humorists of our time.
