Related Items Arts Feature | This book offers a glimpse into the journey of Swarz, a rare blend of actor, Mennonite and seminary graduate. Comedic soul mates, Swartz and Eshleman joined forces in 1987, on a chance encounter, eventually writing and performing faith-based, tongue-in-cheek plays seen all around the world. Follow along in this engaging memoir as Swartz finds his way as a middle child in a eastern Pennsylvania traditional Mennonite home in to his early work in the family butcher shop. Journey with Ted through the decision of uprooting his young family to attend seminary and then embracing life as a writer and actor. Get a glimpse into the friendship that led to the formation of the popular acting duo Ted & Lee. This uniquely honest backstage tour of an artist's life and mind combines side-splitting reminiscences, heart-rending accounts of loss, and touching stories of restored faith and love. Swartz's engaging humor blends with his own stories of triumph and tragedy, and helps readers understand their own sense of place and how they're shaped by those around them.

Cover... Related Items Cpt | On November 26, 2005, Christian Peacemaker Teams (SPT) members Tom Fox and Jim Loney along with delegation members Norman Kember and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped in Iraq. Tom Fox was killed on March 9, 2006. Jim, Norman and Harmeet were freed two weeks after 118 days of captivity. The kidnapping of these four men was like a rock thrown into a pond. This Cascadia edition of a book copublished with CPT describes the ripples on the water, the impact and results of that rock, in stories characterized by hope, courage, friendship, and forgiveness. 118 Days bears witness to vital peacemaking being done around the world in these times. The Cascadia edition is identical to the self-published CPT edition except for a few minor changes to accommodate the shift of publishers--such as revised title and copyright pages and updates to the section "Why we Self-Published."

| A Usable Past?: A Story of Living and Thinking Vocationally at the Margins | View shopping basket | |
| by Paul Peachey | ||
|
paperback, 256 pages, $16.95 | Add... | |
|
Related Items Theology | Christendom or believers church? Here a twentieth-century
Anabaptist ponders this and other key questions while telling his 90-
year life story. As he records, Peachey was shaped in the free church
tradition and by encountering a traumatized post-World War II Europe.
From that vantage point, he and Mennonite colleagues saw strengths in
their heritage and developed concerns that their denomination's focus
on professionalization and institution building risked hiding the
Anabaptist light under a bushel. This led to the "Concern" movement,
whose themes still resonate in Peachey's quest to discern whether his
is "a usable past" able to offer fruitful perspectives on contemporary
trends. Copyright 2008 Cascadia Publishing House | |
| Markings/My Own: Musings on the Gospel of Mark | View shopping basket | |
| by Omar Eby | ||
|
paperback, 236 pages, $14.95 | Add... | |
|
Related Items Bible Study Devotional | Neither commentary nor traditional meditations, Eby's Markings
are a spiritual memoir. His musings on 70 episodes or texts in the
Gospel of Mark blend intellectual inquiry with confessional worship.
They meld poignancy, whimsy, grit, doubt, sorrow, and inspiration.
Anyone attending to the care of her or his soul will find nurture here.
Eby's project from the practice of old spiritual disciplines: Bible Study, meditation, prayer, contemplation, silence, writing. Using the Gospel of Mark for his own Markings, Eby explored the Gospel through the grid of his forty years teaching literature at the college level, reading and writing, listening to music, walking in the orchard and woods, living in Africa, heeding one wise woman, rearing children, stumbling towards God. Then, under the influence of a given text and personal memory, he sat down and wrote, yielding these personal musings on a spare but elegant Gospel. | |
