Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Choosing a Currency
“…White succeeds in presenting the complexity of money and its purpose in a way that is both informative and friendly to the general reader.”
“To Help Man Endure by Lifting His Heart”: Earl Hamner at 100
“Through his work, Earl Hamner not only became one of America’s favorite storytellers; he also became a conservator of the truth that though the modern world disdains the past and elevates immediacy, wealth, and power, the true measure of life’s meaning lies in love, grace, gentleness, forgiveness, and joy.”
The Women of the Bible Speak Again
“…[Bream] once again delivers lively retellings of selected biblical tales—some more familiar than others—as well as spiritual insights that are both relevant and profound.”
Inside the Split Mind of George Kennan
“It is [Costigliola’s] contention that the American militarization of the Cold War was a mistake for which he holds Kennan significantly, but far from exclusively, responsible.”
Real Natural Law
“The existence of God and his providential governance of the universe are the right subjects for public debate over the basis and content of natural law.”
Knights On a Darkling Plain
“Kirk’s reminder speaks to the selflessness of those who defend the ‘permanent things’ and the importance of these things (family, community, faith, and tradition) to our world.”
Mysteries Require Odes, Not Emails
“In this volume Christian verse encompasses religious themes addressed ‘explicitly or implicitly’ by poets, whether practicing or lapsed, ‘whose imagination is shaped by the tenets, symbols, and traditions of the faith.’
Every Mann
“…Mann blends those aforementioned Big Questions with little daily ones of eternal significance…”
Lofty Prose in a New Translation of Beowulf
“…Reinhard’s elegant translation and perspicacious notes present fresh reasons for picking up this ancient classic.”
