	Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith Kathleen Norris The beloved author of "The Cloister Walk" takes readers on a moving journey in this thoroughly original investigation of faith. Taking as her starting point the "scary words" that can intimidate and distance us from our religious heritage--words like "judgment, faith, dogma, salvation", and "sinner"--Norris blends history, theology, storytelling, etymology, and memoir to reflect on their meanings. - from the publisher Riverhead Books Cover: Paperback Pages: 384 Dimensions: 8.25 x 5.49 x 1.02 $15.00 Quantity:

	Black Battle, White Knight: The Authorized Biography of Malcolm Boyd Michael Battle Civil rights activist, a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War, champion of gay rights, and author of over 30 books - including his spiritual classic Are You Running with Me, Jesus? - Malcolm Boyd gained prominence during the 1960's as the "Espresso Priest" for his readings in coffeehouses and his activism outside the confines of the institutional church. Based on actual spiritual direction sessions plus a series of e-mail exchanges between Boyd and the author, readers are permitted to eavesdrop as Boyd recounts narratives of his life as a celebrity priest, his battles against racism and homophobia, and the people and events that shaped his life, including his association with celebrities such as Mary Pickford and Hugh Hefner, plus his long-term partner Mark Thompson. An unconventional biography of an unconventional life, Black Battle, White Knight also reflects the lively exchanges between Boyd and the book's African-American, heterosexual author as Battle seeks guidance for his own religious career and inspiration from one of the elders of the church. In addition to reproducing many of the e-mails and transcripts of the oral exchanges, the book is enhanced by the inclusion of numerous rare photographs from Boyd's personal archives - many unpublished until now.
