Co-edited by Shun-hing Chan and Jonathan Johnson, Citizens of Two
Kingdoms examines the complex relationships of civil society,
Christian organizations, and individual Christians in mainland
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. Different authors investigate
to what extent Christian organizations or individual Christians
demonstrate the quality of civic virtues or virtual citizenship in
the four regions, and reflect on the promises and difficulties of
applying civil society theories to Chinese societies. Some authors
focus their studies on the relationships in mainland China under
the regime of Xi Jinping. Contributors include Richard Madsen,
Zhidong Hao, Teresa Wright, Fredrik Fallman, Lauren F. Pfister,
Lida V. Nedilsky, Mary Mee-Yin Yuen, Shun-hing Chan, Wen-ben Kuo,
Yik-fai Tam, and Gerda Wielander.

Jonathan began writing the Daily Spiritual Vitamin in 1997. It
began after a conversation with a local businessman who confessed
to not having extra time to spend in God's Word each morning,
before heading off to work. This seemed to be true of many other
people that Jonathan spoke to. Jonathan thought that perhaps
sending over a short word of encouragement, including a Bible
verse, and having it arrive in a person's inbox as they began their
busy day, just might be the thing they needed. What began as a
simple message sent out to a handful of individuals has grown over
the years. With a daily audience of over 200 people, spreading
throughout the United States, the Daily Spiritual Vitamin offers a
word of encouragement and is a source of blessing to many. The
entire project is based on Hebrews 3:13. It is not written as if it
were taken from the pages of a Seminary book, but rather directly
from the heart of a person who simply wishes to take what God has
and is showing him, and share it with others in an effort to lift
them up and bless them.
Jonathan Johnson is a poet unafraid to seek wisdom, even as the
bewilderment of longing floods like shadowsaor perhaps lightainto
every day. We are alive now, these poems remind us. In response to
that beautiful and difficult truth, Johnson offers the sincerity of
his fullest attentions and speaks in a voice as fluent in the
intricacies of consciousness as it is in the tender directness of
elegy. In this new collection, imagination is a migratory instinct
that leads across a vast home range of shorelines, northern forests
and companionable sidewalks. Traveling these rich physical
territories and correspondent territories of the human heart with
Johnson, the reader finds ample reason for gratitude and the grace
to inhabit the moment as it passes away.
Longing for a home in big, wild country that would keep them
passionate and young, Jonathan Johnson and his wife, Amy, set out
to build a log cabin on his family's land in a remote and beautiful
corner of Idaho. But what began as a doable dream for the two of
them suddenly looks quite different when, on their first morning in
the cabin--without electricity, a telephone, running water, or real
windows--the couple learn that Amy is pregnant. In this lyrical and
intimate chronicle of making a home the hard way, Johnson describes
the competing joys and anxieties of preparing for fatherhood in a
setting as challenging as it is promising: a paradise of mythic
snowfalls and warming wood stoves and elk tracks at the front door,
but also a place where vision, and even struggle and compromise,
are not always enough. "Hannah and the Mountain" tells a rare and
delicate story of two people exploring the unmapped territories of
loss and grief and finding solace and grace in the mountains. It
offers the reader an unforgettable portrait of a couple growing up,
learning nature's hard and beautiful lessons, and discovering a
love of place and each other strong and wild enough to renew them
and be carried into the future
