Flags Out Front: A Contrarian's Daydream

"Well, this is it. Caesar had his Rubicon. What do Bible college presidents have? A Rubik's Cube?"

Tom Collins, mild-mannered president of a dwindling southern Bible college, becomes a target when a drunk prankster swaps his campus's American flag with the Christian one, and Dr. Tom refuses to "fix" the situation. Big media, exuberant students, petty enemies, and pretty secretaries all play a part in this happy-go-lucky satire for the twenty-first century.

Readers of PG Wodehouse's Leave It to Psmith and Christopher Buckley's Thank You for Smoking will appreciate this lighthearted new satirical novel from Douglas Wilson, author of the award-winning Evangellyfish (Best Fiction of 2013, Christianity Today).

Evangellyfish: A Novel

"Rourke spun around and stomped out the door. Bradford followed him out. "Don't you agree? We really need to do our part to reduce this epidemic of illicit banging in the evangelical world."

Chad Lester's kingdom is found in the Midwest. His voice crawls over the airwaves, his books are read by millions (before he reads them), and thousands ride the escalators into the sanctuary every Sunday. And Saturday. And Wednesday, too. He is the head pastor of Camel Creek—a CEO of Soul. And souls come cheap, so he has no overhead.

When Lester is (falsely) accused of molesting a young male counselee, his universe begins to crumble. He is a sexual predator, yes. But strictly straight (and deeply offended that anyone would suggest otherwise). Detectives, reporters, assistant pastors, and old lovers and pay-offs all come out to play.

John Mitchell is also a pastor, but he has no kingdom to speak of—only smalltime choir feuds. He is thrilled at the great man's fall, but his joy quickly fades when the imploding Lester calls him—and a lover or two—for help. How low can grace go? Whores, thieves, and junkies, sure. But pastors?

Ecochondriacs

It's election season—America's most lucrative sport—and there are no rules.

When climate scientist Dr. Helen Gardner accidentally reads an email from the International Task Force on Climate Change which proves that global warming is a lucrative scam, she's shocked and horrified.

But that's nothing compared to how she feels the next day when her boss (the head of the Task Force) tries to have her killed.

Helen goes into hiding with the help of her neighbor, a "fundy" Bible college professor named Cody, and an anti-eco-activist lumberjack-writer.

But Helen's scandal isn't the only headline floating to the surface: the Democrat presidential candidate gets career-changing news; his running mate hits rock bottom after years of infidelity; the current Republican VP's past sins won't stay hidden forever.

And Cody is about to uncover some dirt of his own.

Ride, Sally, Ride (Sex Rules): A Novel

It's two decades in the future, and a Christian college student named Ace Hartwick has just destroyed his neighbor's so-called "wife"—actually a sexbot named Sally—in a trash compactor. Soon, Ace will be on trial for murder.

Unfortunately for Ace, everyone despises his kind of "radical" Christianity, and, in the fragile America of the future, all the juries are fixed.

A satirical novel from an award-winning pastor about love, the crack-up of the U.S.A., and refusing to back down when the whole world calls you crazy.

Pastor Douglas Wilson continues his cheerful assault on stupidity with this provocative new satirical novel. Already labeled “the controversialist” by Christianity Today, and then given CT’s annual award for Best Fiction in 2013, Wilson pulls no punches when it comes to hypocrisy, love, sex, and providence in contemporary culture. His darkly amused insights will either make you furious or make you laugh, or make you laugh furiously, but they’ll never leave you bored.

The Man in the Dark: A Romance

Finding love is painful when you're crippled by the past.

The year 1900 has just come and gone, and Savannah Westmoreland has come to the town of Paradise Valley to start afresh. But when her mysterious new pastor and the town's most powerful businessman both begin to compete for her affection, Savannah realizes that she must face her past once and for all or leave Paradise forever. But there's more to the story—and more danger lurking—than Savannah knows.

Beowulf: A New Verse Rendering

A bold, new rendering and a daring interpretation of the classic epic, Beowulf.

"Hear the song of spear-Danes from sunken years,
Kings had courage then, the kings of all tribes,
We have heard their heroics, we hold them in memory."

So begins a dark, but sturdy epic full of warriors, dragons, monsters of the deep, mead halls, and mounds of treasure. Beowulf is the great Norse epic poem, and one of the great inspirations for J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. In this bold and truly innovative translation, Douglas Wilson reproduces the alliteration and stresses of the original, though being more dynamic with particular wording. This is without question the most musical translation of Beowulf, one which many readers will return to again and again if they wish to get an idea of the feel of the original Anglo-Saxon.

 

Persuasions

What would it be like if conversations between believers and unbelievers actually got to the root of the issues? Wilson imagines such situations in this storybook of apologetics.

In this short but fun book, Douglas Wilson gives us several fictional dialogues in which worldviews collide with an honesty and clarity that we rarely see in the real world. This book includes a wide array of positions (feminism, agnosticism, higher criticism, pantheism, Roman Catholicism), but all are given their hearing and put into conflict with the truths of Biblical Christianity. Although it is a dream of debate conducted with more clarity than we usually meet in the real world, this short book should help believers to better understand unbelief and see why it is ultimately not reasonable at all.

Wartime Songbook

Disappointed

I love the quotes that are included in the calendar. I look forward to the new quote each day. However, I am disappointed in the quality of the materials. The pages are quite thin, so I have to be careful when I turn the pages. The cardboard frame is also flimsy and doesn't stand up well on it's own. I've had to modify it a bit so it doesn't fall over. The coil is good quality, but I don't know if the rest will hold up long-term.

Quote Calendar

Fantastic content. My wife loves it. I give it four stars because it doesn't stand up on its own very well without bending from the weight of all the cards. The inside triangle of the calendar just needs to be more sturdy. I'll probably reinforce it with some cardboard.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Incredible quality! My husband and son love them!

Daily Encouragement

I really enjoy the daily encouragement and reminders of God’s faithfulness.

Love this calendar! There are a few quotes that only make more sense in context—or can be confusing for people who haven’t listened to a particular talk or sermon.
Otherwise, they stand alone very well and are very encouraging!

Nancy has the ability to cut to the chase and offer true Biblical wisdom that is very practical and helpful! Every older (40 and up) lady needs this one! Thank you!

My wife loves it!!!

My wife loves it!!!

Historically Compelling

I ordered a dozen of these to use in study for men who are often asking the question, “How are we as Christians to engage is political discourse with our families, friends, in small groups, and at work?” Sunshine has given us an amazing war chest of insights and knowledge to more articulately engage those conversations.

My son loves these!

Helpful nuggets every day

My wife (and I) look forward to reading this every day. We are on our second year and bought three for friends!

Femina Quote Calendar

I have had this calendar now for over a year, and have purchased seven more as gifts over the last two Christmases. The daily encouragement (and as one of my friends put it, sometimes it's more like daily conviction!) is a real blessing that not only I value, but I notice other members of my family peeking at throughout the day. Many thanks to you for publishing it, and for the authors' wisdom shared.

Blah Blah Black Sheep

For my 6 yr old

This one is simple and great for new readers. She is very interested in reading everything and loves that she can pick this one up and read much of it. It will be one we read often, and maybe that will help understand the moral and point, for all of us. And it’s confusing when a rhyming book stops rhyming in a weird way…

What a great daily reference!

My 7 year old son’s favorite. Whenever there is complaining we reference this book and it helps snap the kids back into a more cheerful form. Cute tale, fun illustrations, and fun to read.

Christmas present

Cute story. My 7 & 6 year old really enjoyed it, especially the pictures. Personally I love the gender roles depicted and the bro/sis relationship with in those. I see it daily at my house.

A good guide for a timeless masterpiece

This is a great tool for highlighting some of the main points in each section. A second and third edition could be written and still not fully encompass Calvin’s masterpiece.

This book is truly amazing! It’s as if it puts on glasses that both zoom in and zoom out on the world at the same time! If you ever find yourself growing bored of the world around you, this book is definitely a must-read.
