The Brothers K (David James Duncan, 1996)
BY: Marsena Konkle
Even though I’ve read it half a dozen times, each time I pull The Brothers K off the shelf, I know it will require putting new batteries in the book light and embracing sleep-deprivation.

The Chosen (Chaim Potok, 1967)
BY: Marsena Konkle
The Chosen is a book that has grown with me; I go back to it every year as to an old friend, and when I do, the story doesn’t feel stale or predictable, rather it recaptivates me and offers new perspectives.

Someone to Watch Over Me (Richard Bausch, 2004)
BY: Marsena Konkle

There are tulips on my desk, and I saw my first robin yesterday, clear signals that winter is losing its grip on the landscape. The newspaper reported an ice jam on a nearby river that forced the closure of several roads. Chunks of ice the size of dinner tables slammed through a county park. Even something as glorious of the arrival of spring is never as perfectly smooth as we would hope in this broken world. We are, as my spiritual mentor used to say, glorious ruins.
Finding what it means to flourish as broken human being in an imperfect world is what Ransom is about. We believe in Jesus Christ, though often find ourselves dismayed at what passes for Christianity in our postmodern world. We hope what you find on this site will be helpful in your own pilgrimage, regardless of where you happen to find yourself at the moment.
