Paperback. Condition: Good. A typical Mormon family: two parents, two kids. Mother and father love each other deeply. Enough that they've committed to stay together for eternity. A son on the brink of priesthood initiation. A daughter preparing for official membership; a covenant decision. Like any typical family anywhere, trouble brews beneath the surface. The marriage strains at the ties that bind. The boy quails beneath a looming threat. The girl despairs that she will ever qualify. Still, the beliefs they tangle with each day of their lives-individually, and as a unit-may offer them just enough direction to give them hope for a bright and glorious future. Somewhere. Somewhen. Praise for The Agitated Heart 'Keats wrote, 'Truth is beauty, beauty truth.' There is much of truth in this book, with characters that can be so painfully honest that at times it seems almost too real. Bronson examines his subject matter unblinkingly, and takes his tale to its tragic conclusion without flinching. Because of that, there is great beauty here, and ultimately this tale shows us what lies at the heart of true courage and heroism. -David Farland (author of The Runelords series) The Agitated Heart is a sometimes comforting, sometimes heartbreaking story. . . . Bronson provides more than lip service to stereotypes and cliches. His characters struggle toward belief-and understanding and acceptance-on every level, constantly stymied by the inadequacy of language even to frame their struggles. . . . B]elief follows pain and fear and effort, and begins the transformation of each character. . . . They surpass the limitations of language to approach truth, they move beyond passive statements of belief to actions that are built upon belief. -Michael R. Collings (emeritus professor of creative writing, Pepperdine University) This is Mormon literature in the best sense. A story about a real, terrible family problem and a marriage that is both fraught with problems and eternal. The answers aren't easy and the pain is real, but the storytelling is tender. -Mette Ivie Harrison (author of The Bishop's Wife) The best piece of domestic LDS fiction I have ever read. Bronson succeeds in the literary ways: strong and clearly drawn characters, dialogue, and a focused but complex narrative. The narrative POV switches in each chapter between the four main characters, the mother, father, son, and daughter, work well. Often Bronson shows us scenes through two viewpoints, giving the reader greater understanding and charity for the characters. Even without the truly dramatic events of the final chapters, Bronson creates a slice of life of an average Mormon family that fascinated and engaged me. . . . It is not often you find literary excellence, emotional heart, and powerful religious messages wrapped up in a single work. -Andrew Hall (Association for Mormon Letters) A moving interconnected tale of love, family, and Christlike sacrifice that examines the nature of love and faith. -Chris Crowe (author of Mississippi Trial, 1955) J. Scott Bronson's novella, The Agitated Heart, is simply a beautiful, beautiful piece of writing. A troubled but faithful Mormon family struggles to cope with ordinary Mormon challenges; callings in the ward, disputes with ward members, a school bully terrorizing their oldest child. Underlying those tensions is a profound meditation on the atonement, on faith and forgiveness, on hard-heartedness and repentance. Profoundly simple, accessibly rich, human and real and lovely. I know these people. And I ached for them as I read. -Eric Samuelsen (playright; emeritus professor of drama, BYU).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. "The Lord of the Rings" is intended to be applicable to the real world of relationships, religion, pleasure, pain and politics. Tolkien himself said that his grand tale of wizards, orcs, hobbits and elves was aimed at truth and good morals in the actual world. Analysis of the popular appeal of "The Lord of the Rings" shows that Tolkien fans are hungry for discussion of the urgent moral and cosmological issues arising out of this epic story. Can political power be wielded for good, or must it always corrupt? Does technology destroy the truly human? Is it morally wrong to give up hope? Can we find meaning in chance events? In this volume, 17 young philosophy professors all of then ardent Tolkien fans address some of the issues and show how clues to their solutions may be found in the imaginary world of Middle-earth. The book is divided into five sections, concerned with: the power and the Ring, the quest for happiness, good and evil in Middle Earth, time and mortality and philosophical questions and fairytale endings.…
