"This poetry collection touched my heart. I found myself giggling and crying, smiling and sighing. Catherine L. Haws is a delight to read and a kind soul to be encouraged by. She met me where I was at in the valley and still lifted my heavy head to se"

Liturgies of the Wild: Myths That Make Us:
"This is one of the best works of nonfiction that I have ever read in my life. Martin Shaw is an incredible storyteller, mythologist, and in this book writes with wisdom, conviction, and great understanding about how important and powerful mythology a"

Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, #2):
"I think that the failure not only of Children's Literature as a whole, but of our very concept of children and the child's mind is that we think it a crime to challenge and confront that mind. Children are first protected from their culture--kept rem"

“Writing is a very spiritual aspect of my life because stories were what originally gave me the desire to seek God with everything in my power. Fairy tales, great fantasy stories, and classics, they all helped me understand certain concepts in the Bible, such as developing and keeping a child-like wonder. They gave me examples of what Christ-like sacrifice looked like. I believe those stories glorify God in some way.”

And you cannot say why...

“In the fairy tale, an incomprehensible happiness rests upon an incomprehensible condition. A box is opened and all evils fly out. A word is forgotten and cities perish. A lamp is lit and love flies away. An apple is eaten and the hope of God is gone.”

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
