Post-Rapture radio From Russell Rathbun— the man who has been dubbed the "Maureen Dowd of Preaching" by the Minneapolis City Pages— comes this boldly engaging fable. In this provocative and laugh-out-loud funny book, Rathbun explores the often uneasy relationship between authentic faith and its cultural trappings, which faith must try to make sense of. In Post-Rapture Radio, our faithful narrator finds a mysterious box containing the sermons and journal entries of a genuine, unvarnished American character— the Reverend Richard Lamblove. The little-known Lamblove tried and failed to revolutionize contemporary Christian culture. As his journal entries, cereal box scribblings, and random notes on paper scraps reveal, Lamblove sees contemporary culture as shallow, overly individualistic, and consumed with the kind of status measured by money, power, and celebrity. And American Evangelicalism— which has been integrated into the culture as a whole— has similar failings. Reveren Lamblove vanished with-out a trace, but Russell Rathbun has "compiled" his papers into a compelling critique of contemporary faith— an antidote to faith-as-usual and a wakeup call for Christians to genuinely respond to the gospel.

Called a 'perfect novel' by Harold Bloom, "Persuasion was written while Jane Austen was in failing health. She died soon after its completion, and it was published in an edition with Northanger Abbey in 1818. In the novel, Anne Elliot, the heroine Austen called 'almost too good for me, ' has let herself be persuaded not to marry Frederick Wentworth, a fine and attractive man without means. Eight years later, Captain Wentworth returns from the Napoleonic Wars with a triumphant naval career behind him, a substantial fortune to his name, and an eagerness to wed. Austen explores the complexities of human relationships as they change over time. 'She is a prose Shakespeare, ' Thomas Macaulay wrote of Austen in 1842. 'She has given us a multitude of characters, all, in a certain sense, commonplace. Yet they are all as perfectly discriminated from each other as if they were the most eccentric of human beings.' "Persuasion is the last work of one of the greatest of novelists, the end of a quiet career pursued in anonymity in rural England that produced novels which continue to give pleasure to millions of readers throughout the world.
