Another one I know of there (only from its amazing book table at the <a href="http://www.imagejournal.org/glen">Glen Workshop</a>) is <a href="http://www.eighthdaybooks.com">Eighth Day Books</a>. They write in their web intro, "if a book - be it literary, scientific, historical, or theological - sheds light on ultimate questions in an excellent way, then it's a worthy candidate for inclusion in our catalog. Reality doesn't divide itself into 'religious' and 'literary' and 'secular' spheres, so we don't either. We're convinced that all truths are related and every truth, if we pay attention rightly, directs our gaze toward God." Yeah, that's my kind of bookstore!

It is a trend which distresses me. While I agree that Christ has answers for those in all circumstances, I bemoan the examples you cite. For me, simplicity in Him is what it's all about. Cheers.

Regarding the man who loved words, I heard he got married and had a couple of kids, but still makes time for words on weekends. ;) How are you doing? You can email me at gymbrall aht gmail dawt com if you like. Tim,

Perhaps the single greatest place I have apreciated church, in the realest sense. Not a whole lot of pretentiousness there. I can recall a time when I knew a man who posessed a way with words, and the writing of scripts. But that was a long time ago, in another unpretentious place, far north of here. Perhaps you remember this place? Charles,

Regarding the bookstore, is it worth a 3 hour drive for you to see this place firsthand? Regarding the church, it's kind of scary in the sense that no one's ever went to hell for loving bookstores because of the coffee, but loving church for the wrong reason, that's potentially fatal. "Come for the doughnuts, stay for the worship", it's practically an American institution. Ariel,
