Now available as Kindle e-books are some of our most recent publications, including Larry Parsley’s beautiful meditations on the Gospel of Mark, a (mostly) true epic by Charlotte Getz and Stephanie Phillips, and two burnished gems by Robert Farrar Capon. Full descriptions here:

An Easy Stroll Through a Short Gospel: Meditations on Mark, by Larry Parsley: a lovely, accessible devotional comprised of short entries on the Gospel of Mark. Larry walks verse-by-verse through the shortest official take on the biggest life ever lived, relating the text to relevant themes in daily life. “A gentle journey…Larry’s wisdom and eye for beauty might readily serve as inspiration for daily spiritual exercises.” – Dr. Paul Scott Wilson

Unmapped: The (Mostly) True Story of How Two Women Lost at Sea Found Their Way Home, by Charlotte Getz & Stephanie Phillips. For this visionary work, two of Mockingbird’s most profound contributors collaborated to create not merely a book but an entirely new genre: the spiritual memoir duet. Through their retellings of actual and spiritual adrift-ness, Charlotte and Stephanie illuminate the grace of God in life’s highs and lows. By turns moving and very funny.

Bed and Board: Plain Talk About Marriage, by Robert Farrar Capon. The first book written by the acclaimed theologian/writer/chef/priest, Bed & Board tackles head-on the themes of marriage and family life with an unyielding eye on the grace of God amidst everything. Robert plays with the absurdity of life and the greater, more wonderful absurdity of God’s unrequited love. “Bed and Board is necessary and offensive in the best possible way.” – Sarah Condon

Exit 36: A Fictional Chronicle, by Robert Farrar Capon. With a tinge of mystery/noir, this novel takes place over the course of a month in the life of a parish priest. Father William Jansson faces suicide, gossip, adultery, and ultimate redemption, in this sly and often unorthodox investigation of religion — a novel quite unlike any other. With a special foreword by our friend Chad Bird. “Capon’s voice is needed now as much as it ever has been.” – The Very Rev. Mark Strobel

In addition to these four, you can now access nearly every other title in our collection as an e-book. Kindle editions are on hand at Amazon or accessed through our recently revamped store, where you can peruse our full offering.
