" See how Fyodor Dostoevsky's vocation of a passionate desire for God made a difference to Eugene H. Peterson at a critical point in his life.
" Discover why the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer were instrumental in keeping Richard Foster from abandoning the Christian faith.
" Uncover why John Donne forever changed the way Philip Yancey thought about pain.
" Explore how the books of George MacDonald both comforted and widened the world of Madeleine L'Engle.
" Find out how epic storyteller Stephen R. Lawhead learned lasting lessons about the power of fiction from the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien.
