#1:
The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth
Beth Allison Barr
*** $3.99 ***
“This fervent, bold, and sweeping history of Christianity and patriarchy is an absolute game changer. Any future debates will need to reckon with Barr’s contention that the subjugation of women has nothing to do with gospel truth.”
–Kristin Kobes Du Mez, professor, Calvin University; author of Jesus and John Wayne
#2:
Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy
Michael Polanyi
*** $3.99 ***
The publication of Personal Knowledge in 1958 shook the science world, as Michael Polanyi took aim at the long-standing ideals of rigid empiricism and rule-bound logic. Today, Personal Knowledge remains one of the most significant philosophy of science books of the twentieth century, bringing the crucial concepts of “tacit knowledge” and “personal knowledge” to the forefront of inquiry.
#3:
The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited
Scot McKnight
*** $6.99 ***
Contemporary evangelicals have built a “salvation culture” but not a “gospel culture.” Evangelicals have reduced the gospel to the message of personal salvation. This book makes a plea for us to recover the old gospel as that which is still new and still fresh.

The River Why: A Novel
David James Duncan
*** $2.99 ***
“A veritable epic of flyfishing… done in a high-velocity, exuberant style, sprawling in scale, heedless of form… The feeling for and evocation of the imperiled natural world is rhapsodic in its intensity; the writing energetic, literary in a distinctly American way… So amiable is the prevailing tone that the flowing narrative is able to absorb Koranic and Eastern mysticisms, Tao, Sufism, Zen-the religions of oneness and gospel of love-without turning into the kind of maudlin choral chanting that so often disfigures treatments of fusion of self and the world.”
―Publishers Weekly
#5:

Madeleine L’Engle
*** $3.99 ***
From the National Book Award–winning author of A Wrinkle in Time, three poignant novels exploring the power of love, family, and secrets.
