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.

The paper is nice and thick, it will survive longer than other picture books. The art is so pretty, and the story is sweet. Exited for the show!

Blah blah bold sheep

I bought the book as my nephew's Christmas present and almost kept it. The art is wonderful and it seems like there's more to find each time. The story is perfect for a young boy or even adults looking for a fun story.

Looked like a fun child's read

A little simplistic.

The book is charming and the illustrations are perfect. Imaginations are given free reign, but the kids and dad are responsible enough to clean up the mess that active imaginations can cause.

Mistaken Identity

Not a fan of corduroy but my wife agreed that there is a resemblance between myself and a muskox; especially as my ears continue to grow.

What fun..! People think I’m a dog trainer

I wear it often and enjoy the questions. I just wish it wasn’t so cold outside right now.

Love at First Flight

Owning this flag makes me a very Jolly Roger..!

We love it!

My 2 year old son reaches for this book multiple times a day. The illustrations are great and the story is enjoyable enough that I don’t mind reading it over and over. We have had great fun making extra sound effects and doing re-enactments when we aren’t reading. It’s a keeper!

Very happy with the book.

It’s A Decent Book

This book is decent and I have no real objections. But Doug Wilson’s Fun Dad book is way better. Similar theme and has a much higher kid request rating.

If this is Gwen's first novel, then sign me up for all the ones to come after! Excellent. Gripping. Engaging. And full of truth.

A bit underwhelming, looking forward to the show

I appreciate the idea of the Blah Blah character but the principle struggled to materialize through the book. Characters, setting and basic plot were revealed - I feel like I just paid for a printed version of the trailer for the show.

Review

This book was written by a steady hand and a sober mind. Reading is conducive to acquiring a steady hand and sober mind. Many Thanks

My 5yo laughs every time we read it!

I admit, I'm slow to see the deeper meanings in kids' stories, but this one finally sunk in - especially since my 5yo asks to read it every day. :-) Beautiful illustrations, fun text, great story.

Highly Recommend!

My 13yo daughter and I have both already finished this book, and the 11yo is starting it tonight. Gripping, fast-paced story with an unpredictable ending! The author does a great job of helping you feel the stress that Piper feels!

Great illustrations

Animals are very cute, actions and responses fun with a black sheep in the mix. Grandson will love it and read it many times.

Bought them early for our toddler— can wait to teach her to read through Great Aunt Jan’s wonderful stories%21

We love the original (didn’t know how valuable it was) and love reading this new one to our toddler!

Super cool!

Great story and illustrations! My grandson loves this book!
