A Light Shines in God's Country


Book Description

Travel with author Irene Burns, from the nostalgic 1950's to the present, as she shares recollections of her marriage to high school sweetheart, Don, and the raising of their family. Join the Burns household through the years-to cozy evenings, where supper was served from a wood-burning stove... warm evenings, where family devotions were at 7:00 in the evening, with Don at the piano, followed by the reading of scriptures and prayer. Smile, enjoy a belly laugh-at the lovable, but precocious Goatie, the family goat, with an acquired taste for plastic flowers and the landlady's purloined cabbages! Get blessed, as life with the Burns family shows you how Jesus: Has a plan of salvation / Makes all the difference in a life / Can protect you from all harm and hurt / Answers prayers, often in most unusual ways / Brings miracles of healing and provision, even in the least likely of circumstances. Come away restored in your Christian faith, assured of God's promise from Psalm 46:1, that God is truly your "refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"! Book jacket.

God's Country


Book Description

God's Country takes a hilarious and irreverent swipe at religious dogma in America. Part Jack Kerouac part Sherman Alexie, it is a hilarious and irreverent novel. Two friends take a less-than-ordinary road trip through the American West. On their journey, they repeatedly encounter a religious couple who are on a pilgrimage to find God. Much to the exasperation of the protagonists, the couple continually finds tangible evidence of their devout faith in the most unlikely places. Despite the novel's humorous approach, though, there is an underlying poignant message. Without the central characters recognizing it, their own trip becomes something much deeper - a true spiritual awakening. Their journey brings them new insights about their philosophical and spiritual convictions, the meaning of friendship, and the impact that dogma has on our beliefs, our culture, and our environment.
