a) Dancing on a Razor chronicles, through a series of dynamic short personal stories, the life and God's redemption of Kevin John White, son of internationally known author and lecturer Dr. John White. Despite his conversion experience at age fourteen Kevin becomes a hopeless alcoholic, an addict and a wandering minstrel-riding freight trains and hitchhiking coast to coast, singing his own music for forty-five years. But all-the-while he lives this derelict lifestyle Kevin experiences the relentless pursuit and personal revelation of God's love to him. During his rebellious years, despite his fear and rebelliousness against God, the story examines the many astonishing miracles God continued to performed throughout his lifetime to draw him back to Himself. These are the stories of the answered thousands of prayers that went up for Kevin across the globe during this astonishing odyssey of God's unimaginable love. The book is honest, highly humorous, and loaded with astounding stories of miracles. God never gives up!
In the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14, Jesus taught that a celebration unlike any other in all human history-a great banquet, also known as the wedding feast of the Lamb-has been planned and is being prepared in heaven at this very moment. At the end of human history, this banquet will be thrown for all who have responded to God's RSVP. The magnitude and size of this banquet are incomprehensible. It will include all the people of faith throughout history-the patriarchs, prophets, and apostles; the most infamous of saved sinners to the most insignificant of saints. The RSVP invitation list is growing daily, but who is invited and who will attend? This award-winning book explores these questions. It will motivate you with in-depth descriptions of the celebration from both Old and New Testament accounts. Jesus will be there! The question is "Are you banquet-ready?"
During the past thirty years, Larry McCloskey has become an accomplished writer, while his day job/vocation has been working with students with disabilities. He wrote Lament for Spilt Porter with a sense of urgency born of the need to reconcile a haunting sense of loss with our muted desire to find our way home. The desire for home-how we fit into this life and anticipate the next-is our most basic spiritual impulse, fueling our hopes and fears, passions and pathologies. But sadly, for many of us, the hunger for home has been supplanted by the primacy of self, with predictable results. At a time and in a place of greatest affluence and freedom, with technological means to connect all of us at all times, many of us are unhappy, isolated and on the question of meaning, lost. So maybe the only way forward is to look back, rediscover the wisdom from the cast of characters that populate our past and informs our present, to find the miracle in the minutia, to go home.
