Untune the Sky

It is in the music of the heavens that we all will find our end.

This noble collection of verse on subjects great and small provides a window into how a Christian writer views the world: there is beauty, there is sorrow, but underneath it all beats the music of the heavens -- and it is in the music of the heavens that we all will find our end. 

This anthology of over a hundred poems written by Calvinists is a surprising introduction to the aesthetics of the Reformed tradition. Who knew there was such a host of Calvinist poets?

Containing notes and short biographies to aid your enjoyment, this collection is the perfect starting point for appreciating these men and women -- and the faith that inspired their words.

"Calvinists have had a great many negative things said over the years about their lack of artistic soul.... Not surprisingly, I believe this caricature to be grotesquely unfair. Because the proof is in the pudding, I thought the best thing to do would be to assemble a collection of poems by various Calvinists, and let you all, members of the fair and open-minded public, have a look at them." ~ from the editors

The Poems of Anne Bradstreet

“A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.” ~From Douglas Wilson’s Introduction

Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

The Poems of John Donne

"We as readers get to enjoy an experience akin to serendipity—the gift of an unlooked-for connection that answers questions we didn’t know we had... The pleasure of poetry is often its principal power in turning us around and moving us towards the good and the beautiful, and in them, towards God himself.” ~From Elizabeth Howard’s introduction

John Donne was one of the great “metaphysical poets” in Elizabethan England. His work helped establish the English tradition of poetry, and influenced everyone afterwards from Alexander Pope to T.S. Eliot. Donne lived a tumultuous life before settling down and becoming the dean of St. Paul’s cathedral. He wrote everything from love sonnets to satires and elegies, but his greatest poems are undoubtedly the holy sonnets.

In this new edition of the complete 1633 collection of Donne's poems, we see the work of a mature Christian poet and pastor writing about love, suffering, and our need for God.

Beowulf

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.

The Temple

"Herbert loved crafting language in new and powerful ways. It was for him a way of seeing and savoring and showing the wonders of Christ. The central theme of his poetry was the redeeming love of Christ, and he labored with all his literary might to see it clearly, feel it deeply, and show it strikingly. We don’t have a single sermon that he ever preached.... What we have is his poetry. And here the beauty of the subject is wedded to the beauty of his craft." ~ John Piper, Introduction

Although George Herbert was a pastor of a small remote church in Elizabethan England, he came to fame because of a small collection of poems called The Temple. In this short but beautiful collection of poetry, Herbert devised 116 new poetic forms to capture his experiences of awe, sorrow, glory, turmoil, repentance, and heart-rending joy, all of it dedicated to God, not man.

In this book, we have a picture of the full range of human experience and emotion, felt by a man being sanctified by God and describing it with all his poetic powers.

Edgar Allan Poe's Best Loved Tales & Poems

Fantastic

I’ve listened to this multiple times and I’m so excited to have this beautiful copy.

Excellent quality!

I bought this for my husband and he loves it ! Everything is top quality.

Excellent Hat - Love the logo

Quality snap back hat. Will be wearing it more than just during November.

NQN Hats are the best hats

This high-quality, good-looking hat will be a conversation starter for many years to come. You should have one too.

Wonderful Book

Spot on

The author has diagnosed a rampant problem in America today. A problem that easily slips under the radar of most people.

Wife loved it. She is much more in to hymn books than I am

As noted, bought this for my wife. (Got the No Quarter November hat for myself.) A well constructed hymnal, and my wife really likes the hymns, especially the theological content of the lyrics. A good addition to her mostly Baptist collection of hymnals.

Quality hat, quality design

Just what I need to cover my balding head and project the desired brand, image, whatever you call it. A well constructed hat that fits my head well.

The perfect sweatshirt.

Great fabric, great fit. Christ is King!

No Quarters Given

This hat shines like Moses' face when I wear out in public in NorCal.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Wonderful read

The 2024 Bucky Irving of 2024 books geared toward Christian women in the tone of Brother Jack.

Brother Jack is a great song by Gable Price and Friends.
Brother Jack can also be a moniker for the big homie C.S.L.

In this book, you'll come across neither. But wait! Its great, dont worry.
Im feeling punchy right now due to the lack of sleep. Im lacking sleep due to the remodel im conducting. Im conducting a remodel to have a coastal home for my family. I have a family because God is gracious and saw fit to bless this rambling fool despite the ability to write traditional reviews.

Buy My Dear Hemlock. Do it! (Shia style)

In all honesty, this book is the best new book ive read since Crispins Rainy Day. Shout out to Forest! I dont know him, but it be a lot cooler if I did. (Mathew McConaughey)

Get this book, the color pallet and marketing is incredible, and the content is even better. Must have for the Holiday season.

Fantastic hats

My husband and teenage son love wearing these hats. They get lots of questions, and have had to develop a clear explanation of NQN movement. My two college sons said their dad looks like a ‘cool dad’ in this hat . Haha!

My 10 year old son will be so excited on Christmas.

It's a fun hat! Only bit of negative feedback would be that the fabric on the bottom or the hat is fairly coarse, which causes some discomfort when it rubs on the ears.

Spectacular Hat!

I love everything about this hat! The dye of the wool/blend, first of all, is beautiful. Very rich and vibrant. The stitching is perfect, even the logo both outside the hat, and the tag on the inside just have such a quality look and feel. I’ve paid twice as much for a hat like this and not been as happy. very classy! Keep up the good work - it’s not everyday you stumble upon quality this good.

True Sons

This topic isn’t talked about enough and Doug (also my with others) are just getting the ball rolling. Someone needs to take a stand for fathers and fathers need to take a stand. True sons of true fathers will take this world.

As a woman, this rang so true!! Well done! I wish every young woman would read this!!

Boisterous

I love the levity around danger. Helps my boys be brave and silly in a way that speaks to them. Very original. I look forward to reading this not just to my sons, but to my grandsons someday.
