When an author of fiction employs the imagination and sets characters in a new location, they are in a sense creating a world. Might such fictional worlds give us a deeper appreciation for our own? Many readers have found themselves, like the Pevensie children, transported by C. S. Lewis into Narnia, and they have traveled from Lantern Waste to Cair Paravel and the edge of the sea. Thanks to J. R. R. Tolkien, readers have also journeyed with Bilbo, Frodo, and their companions across Middle-earth from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain, the forest of Mirkwood, the mines of Moria, and the very fires of Mount Doom. But as often as we enter these fictional worlds as readers, we eventually return to our world refreshed with sharpened insight. In The Wonders of Creation, biologist Kristen Page explores the beloved fictional landscapes of Narnia and Middle-earth in order to discover what we might learn about real-life landscapes and how to become better stewards of God's good creation. Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Lectureship Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses is a dark and passionate work of literary fiction. Hannah and Alex meet by chance, but perhaps inevitably. A passionate love affair consumes them, and threatens to destroy their married lives, and their beliefs. Often startling imagery portrays their physical and mental states as the affair grips them. Its effect on each of them is profoundly different, but their fates are entwined until the end. In this literary novel, Emily Hunter explores human nature under the influence of love, religion and secrecy. The book is narrated from the points of view of both Hannah and Alex. Their contrasting characters and narrative voices provide a startling juxtaposition of thoughts and beliefs, and lead to a profoundly resonant and thrilling climax.

American evangelicals are known for focusing on the family, but the Quiverfull movement intensifies that focus in a significant way. Often called "Quiverfull" due to an emphasis on filling their "quivers" with as many children as possible (Psalm 127:5), such families are distinguishable by their practices of male-only leadership, homeschooling, and prolific childbirth. Their primary aim is "multigenerational faithfulness" - ensuring their descendants maintain Christian faith for many generations. Many believe this focus will lead to the Christianization of America in the centuries to come.Quivering Families is a first of its kind project that employs history, ethnography, and theology to explore the Quiverfull movement in America. The book considers a study of the movement's origins, its major leaders and institutions, and the daily lives of its families. Quivering Families argues that despite the apparent strangeness of their practice, Quiverfull is a thoroughly evangelical and American phenomenon. Far from offering a countercultural vision of the family, Quiverfull represents an intensification of longstanding tendencies. The movement reveals the weakness of evangelical theology of the family and underlines the need for more critical and creative approaches.

Humor writer Mark R. Hunter often speaks of his life ballooning out of control, and there's no better example than this work, a look at the first century of service for his home town's volunteer fire department. Hunter, who's also a thirty-three year veteran firefighter, turned an idea for a pamphlet for the Albion fire Department's 100th anniversary into a 25 year marathon that produced a book ... just in time for the 125th anniversary. Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights chronicles the hazardous early days of Albion, Indiana, which like many small towns of the time tended to burn down - a lot. The story follows the efforts of townspeople to organize themselves into a firefighting force, and the personalities that stepped in along the way. It moves into modern times along with the volunteers, who face not only danger and death but changing technology and new threats. Using newspaper accounts, official records, oral stories and the fine art of digging for details, Hunter shows how hand drawn apparatus and desperate bucket brigades turned into the trained, organized and well equipped department of today. Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights is well illustrated with historical and firefighting photos. It's also spiced with the humor that Hunter, the author of a novel and short story collection in addition to his column, "Slightly Off The Mark," has become known for.
