February$29.95 add to cart

Lisa Moore reads from her new heart-wrenching novel February. In February, Lisa gives us her strongest work yet. Here is a novel about complex love and cauterizing grief, about past and present and how memory knits them together, about a fiercely close community and its universal struggles, and finally about our need to imagine a future, no matter how fragile. A profound, gorgeous, heart-stopping work from one of our best writers. Her first novel, Alligator, won the Commonwealth Writers Prize.

The Case for God$34.95 add to cart

From Karen Armstrong, the bestselling author of A History of God and The Great Transformation, comes The Case for God, a nuanced look at the role religion plays in human life and the trajectory of faith in modern times. Why has God become incredible? Why is it that atheists and theists alike now think and speak about God in a way that veers so profoundly from the thinking of our ancestors? Moving from the Paleolithic Age to the present, Armstrong details the lengths to which humankind has gone to experience a sacred reality that it called God. She makes a powerful, convincing argument for structuring a faith that speaks to the needs of our dangerously polarized age.
