Illustrator and graphic artist Birk sets the Islamic sacred text in a graffiti-inspired handwritten font against scenes of contemporary American life. Accessible and enjoyable, it is a great introduction to the Qur'an for non-Muslim Americans, but even for others, it invites a reconsideration of sacred tenets in the context of ordinary American lives.
Christian columnist and blogger Evans considers her own experiences as an evangelical Christian to explore what is happening in church circles today and, more broadly, what it means to be part of a church community. Honest and moving, this memoir is both theologically astute and beautifully written.

This stance doesn't buy into secular culture and reimagines core values—human dignity, religious liberty, family stability—in light of recent struggles throughout American Christianity.
