My Life in a Fish Bowl: A Memoir of a Pastor’s Daughter and a Pastor’s Wife
by Joan Taylor

Joan describes the book this way: I was born in a church. Furthermore, I spent all my growing-up years in a house provided by the church as a preacher’s daughter. I married a pastor so spent many of my adult years in parsonages as a pastor’s wife. So I feel like I have lived my life in a fish bowl. When I was a child, my mother made me aware that as a preacher’s daughter, I was expected to be an example. As a pastor’s wife, I felt that how I lived my life, how well I took care of the parsonage, and how we raised our children were all under scrutiny. This is my story.

The Great Escape from Nihilism: Rediscovering Our Passion in Late Modernity,
by Gordon Carkner

This book is about a journey: out of the confines of nihilism into the heart of meaning. It presses the question: Does nihilism have the last word? The book addresses a contemporary crisis of faith, a crisis of identity, and a sense of lostness in late modernity. Our companions on the journey are a fine, seasoned group of writers, poets, social reformers, scientists, scholars and public intellectuals. The Great Escape from Nihilism is about a courageous and somewhat dangerous journey, but ultimately it is a path towards hopeful alternatives to the forces that weigh down our spirits, and the tensions that divide us. We must decide whether the quest to escape outweighs the risks. Our journey involves the quest for the Holy Grail of human flourishing, the deeper life, the thick self. Dr. Carkner provides wise and persuasive suggestions of ways forward in navigating the landscape of late modernity.

A Window Into Heaven: Quantum Physics and Biblical Mystery
by Mercedes Moffat

A long-term private study of quantum physics led to the understanding of how one might synthesize aspects of elementary particles and Biblical mystery if the foundation of life, as found in quantum physics, were considered.  This book is devoted to explaining and illustrating the following point: The essential fabric, of all that exists as things, is precluded from view by the surfaces of corporeal bodies, and beneath these surfaces we find a world of dynamic energies.

Hormones Gone Haywire! PMS, Menopause, and Depression
by Bonnie Hallett

Many books discuss the science behind the normal bio-chemical changes in a woman’s body. This book, however, looks at the things that can and do go wrong with hormones that throw off a woman’s balance physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Hormones Gone Haywire! discusses the plethora of debilitating symptoms that can ruin a woman’s quality of life and leave her feeling frightened and weak. Hormones Gone Haywire! offers straight-forward, practical, life-balancing principles for women whose experience is anything but natural and normal. It encourages women not to settle into weakness but to seek God’s guidance to reclaim health and a life of greater balance.

Hope Dwells From That Place to This Space: A Poetry and Art Book
by Sandy Geddes

Hope Dwells: From this Place to That Space is an art and poetry book that grew out of Sandy’s journey of reflection and struggle. She was seeing God at work and hearing him speak. The individual paintings were created after writing the poem, during a season of struggle and growth. It made perfect sense that the poem on hope required artwork created through times of overcoming. This is Sandy’s first book, another beginning. The struggle is real but so is the joy! Sandy is determined to finish well by God’s grace and mercy. It is a full color book to be experienced, not just read.

My Dad: Found Faithful
by Cam Taylor

This book is a record of my dad’s legacy. It’s the story of what made Dad who he was. This memoir is my gift to my dad and to those who will read and enjoy his story. Dad’s story will remind those who knew him of the difference he made in their lives. His story will also inspire friends of Dad to take what they’ve learned from watching him and pass it on to others. Dad’s life is an example we can all learn from and be inspired by. My hope is that this book will inspire people to finish strong, love deeply, trust God, be faithful, and make a difference with their lives.

I’m a better person because of my dad. He persevered when met with adversity, lived on purpose, used his gifts and talents to help others, served with joy, and forgave when tempted to hold a grudge.
