Gerald L. Sittser. Water From a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality From Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries. Downers Grove: IVP Books, 2007. A few years ago I teamed up with a couple of my fellow library directors to make a presentation at a conference for academic technology folks.

New York: Penguin Books, 2007. 454 pp. The narrative of this fast-paced novel is constructed around the framework of one character’s journal recounting life as a young woman on the Southwest frontier in the late 19th century. Here is a story about a historian whose legacy work turns out to be as much myth as it is reality. As tragic as that may seem, it pales in comparison to the tragedy of four generations of women who lack the ability to face the truth of their unfulfilled lives. - READ MORE |
