"This is the story of the groundwork that paved the way to my faith. It is not an easy story to tell...."

This powerful memoir from Grammy Award winner Ashley Cleveland reminds us that even in the lowest times of our lives, beauty can shine through.

As a young woman from a deeply flawed family, Ashley had little hope she would amount to anything. If there was trouble, near or far, she found it. Yet, in her destructive days of drugs, alcohol, and sex, she encountered a forgiving God who was relentlessly faithful.

Change did not come quickly....

Praise for Dostoevsky: The Scandal of Reason "In a series of compelling, enlightening, and challenging essays Professor Banerjee looks at 'Dostoevsky's novelistic world as an intellectually coherent, spiritually integral whole.' Her examination culminates in a brilliant attempt to provide a reasonable, rational, and verbal indictment of reason itself--comprehending and complementing the message of love and gestures of Dostoevsky's positive heroes. Students and scholars of Russian and comparative literatures will find here a compelling case for Dostoevsky's embrace of Christianity...

In her new essay collection, the beloved author of High Tide in Tucson brings to us, out of one of history's darker moments, an extended love song to the world we still have.

The Value of Solitude: The Ethics and Spirituality of Aloneness in Autobiography

Price: $22.50

Publisher: University of Virginia Press: September 2004

Seller ID: 172531

ISBN: 0813922895

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

'Let him who cannot be alone beware of community,' wrote Dietrich Bonhoeffer. 'Let him who is not in community beware of being alone.' Bonhoeffer's warning from Life Together nicely balances the 'fruitful tension' John Barbour advocates between an ethics of solitude and a spirituality of the same. 'A spirituality without ethics becomes irresponsible self-indulgence,' he writes, 'and ethics without spirituality can degenerate into joyless duties to others and become disconnected from much of what gives life meaning, vitality, and beauty.' As solitude is necessarily situational, Barbour s...

Sometime around 1660, Blaise Pascal wrote, 'truth is so obscured in our time, and lies are so established, that unless we love truth we will not know how to recognize it.' In like fashion, Lucy Beckett-professor, author, novelist, and poet-pens, 'we do not decide, but are given to discover and love, what is true.'

Focusing on the big picture as well as the crucial details, Bell examines twelve stories by both established writers (including Peter Taylor, Mary Gaitskill, and Carolyn Chute) and his own former students.
