I was about three-quarters of the way through Grant Tracey's "Parallel Lines and the Hockey Universe" today when I realized I didn't want it to ever end. It was after finishing the brief story "Dragonflies" - one of 21 pieces in the collection. The last sentence of this poignant, short work draws all that has happened (and there is much; and what formidable literary skill: to pack so much into the short-story form) to a hopeful, peaceful truce. A young hockey player has been tutoring a third-grader on her school report on dragonflies. Her father, the night previous, has left her and her mother. The young tutor is trying to make sense of this - for her, for himself - invoking what he knows without doubt, without mitigation: the game of hockey. Of dragonflies, Tracey writes, "Isaiah hoped that maybe on the way to the car they'd see them, thousands, hovering silently." Tracey had me in this collection long before that closing line, but that was the moment I didn't want his new book from Pocol Press to end. And it summed up much of what Tracey's work presented to me as a reader: the values, struggles, low-hanging skies, victories, honesty, wonder and clarity of meaning that emanates from the geographic center of the North American continent. A coach who cares deeply about not only the kids on his team, but for those on another who must forfeit because their funding has dried up. A grocer who refuses - even at the height of hard times - to buy black-market meat because it lacks the government stamp to prove its fitness for his customers. Two teenagers who come to that awful and wonderful precipice: a first kiss. Coaches, lovers, friends, immigrants... everything and everyone real and sensate and unpretentious about life. You want Zambonis and Led Zeppelin? Cross-checkings and coach-ejectings? Heartache and deep, faithful love. You want them all at once, in just the right dose? Read Tracey's book and see if you feel the same way I do: that a follow-up couldn't come quickly enough.

As someone who is tremendously interested in the various modes of Christian spirituality, I found this book to be better than I could have asked for. It is well authored and has information that is useful to both those who are just becoming interested in the subject, or for someone who has had more experience. It is a very easy read and has excellent content. It is a great addition to any theological librairy.

This is an excellent book that belongs on the self of anyone who wants to be considered up-to-speed on the critters that dwell in our waters. I've had the opportunity to use the annelid and the tardigrade keys thus far, and both worked wonderfully. The general information for all of the groups is well written and up-to-date, and the addition of color plates is a nice touch. Highly recommended!

In the aftermath of Marxism and pragmatism the western world and its citizens have lost the anchor for their moral lives. Belieiving in the goodness of progress, not only can we no longer answer the question, "progressing to what," but it does not even occur as a question to be asked. Instead all progress is deemed beneficial. Nonetheless, we are still plagued by doubts that there must be limits to what we can and should do; plagued by the inclination that all progress must be directed toward some good. Grant argues that in order to recement our moral beings and give direction to the technological progress that we hold dear, we must return to an older, ancient vision of human beings. A vision of humans as creatures whose rightful end lies not merely in untrammelled freedom, but also in recognition of our limitations.

This a truly great book about the integrity of various leaders. In a departure from the approach of most leadership literature, such as the corporate or political approach, Vaughan employs the biographical approach and studies the essence of leadership by examining the character traits of great leaders: Christopher Columbus, Patrick Henry, William Wilberforce, Robert E. Lee, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Kuyper, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis and Winston Churuchill. The reader is inspired by the virtue of these great men. Pillars of Leadership is extensively documented, interesting and stimulating. This is a book for educators, statesmen, pastors and anyone else desiring to make a positive and lasting impact in the world.
