  • December
    Kent Gramm
    The December sky is dense with constellations--the Great Bear, the Little Dipper with its North Star, Cassiopeia, Orion, Gemini--whose figures in Greek, Arabic, Norse, and Native myths walk the sparkling Spirit Path above our heads. Among them flows a caravan of multicolored jewels: stars, star clusters, planets, vivid nebulae, Magellanic Clouds, and other galaxies like our own...

  • Fishing for Eternity
    Kent Gramm
    Besides being about noble, humble, and abominable fish like the Northern Pike, Sunfish, and Snakehead, Fishing for Eternity is about love, loss, family, friendship, time, and the hope of a hereafter. It is about two rivers--the Willow and the St. Croix--and how they intersect in the souls of immigrants and flow through the lives of their children. ''The Lord does not subtract f...

  • Nature’s Bible
    Kent Gramm
    Striking photographic images paired with stories and statements by birds, mammals, and reptiles cast light on some of humanity’s most sacred writings. Speaking rhinos and puffins are no more unlikely than talking humans; and considering where all of our talk has gotten us (the brink of extinction), it is time we listened to our fellow creatures. They are funny, thoughtful, obse...

  • Bitterroot
    Kent Gramm

Pursued by the US Army and Cavalry, the Nimiipuu fought battles, crossed the forbidding Bitterroot Mountains with their herds, and maintained their humanity and heritage against overwhelming odds.

  • Sharpsburg
    Kent Gramm
    The Civil War, sometimes called 'The American Iliad,' is an epic of violence, rage, bravery, and love, whose echoes still can be heard. America’s bloodiest day was September 17, 1862--the Battle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg, which enabled President Lincoln to issue a proclamation freeing all slaves in the rebellious states. The battle’s story is told here by two soldiers: a Yanke...

  • Psalms for the Poor
    Kent Gramm
    Psalms for the Poor talk back to the blunt and beautiful phrases of the King James Bible. Sometimes personal, sometimes political, the original Psalms complain, question, curse, and adore: 'Why do the wicked prosper?' 'When I consider the moon and the stars,' 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' 'The Lord is my shepherd,' 'But I am poor and needy.' Luther’s last words we...

  • The Prayer of Jesus
    Kent Gramm
    This unique phrase-by-phrase exposition reads the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus’ description of God. Our heavenly Father is the perfect parent beyond our dreams who loves, provides, forgives, and ultimately protects. Finding our parent, we discover who we really are and enter a kingdom without boundaries. The Prayer of Jesus is not a somber duty; it is the essence of the gospel’s happ...

  • Psalms for Skeptics
    Kent Gramm
    Sparked by phrases from the book of Psalms, these poems question and occasionally affirm our everyday ideas about life, mortality, the afterlife, God, family, and belief. In vigorous contemporary language--complaining, lamenting, and wisecracking on everything from Job’s wife to baseball, crows to angels, circus elephants to Mary Magdalene--but in traditional form, these sonnet...
