It’s a perilous time for calm, reasonable books–even calm, reasonable books with the potential to bring changes to our world that are anything but calm and reasonable. Changes that are revolutionary, even life-changing. Such a book has Irving Stubbs given us here.

Among all the screeds left and right that generate white-hot ideological heat, we need a book that gets us thinking and builds bridges of light through dialog–dialog that can heal the rifts social and personal and get us thinking about transcendent things–values and meaning and the God who wants us to engage.

If you read only one book this year, you could hardly do better than reading Irving Stubbs’s book and dialoging with it!
