Walter Wangerin

Walter Wangerin's profound fantasy concerns a time when the sun turned around the earth and the animals could speak, when Chauntecleer the Rooster ruled over a more or less peaceful kingdom. What the animals did not know was that they were the Keepers of Wyrm, monster of evil long imprisoned beneath the earth ... and Wyrm, sub terra, was breaking free.

As For Me And My House Crafting Your Marriage To Last

In this new memoir by National Book Award-winning author Walter Wangerin, Jr., he invites the reader into the past to experience his loss of faith as a young seminarian, his struggle to find a place for his chosen vocation amid an ocean of doubts, and his eventual renewal in the arms of an inner-city church called Grace. With his inimitable style and keen eye for detail, Wangerin remembers his own story and gives it to us as an everlasting testament to the faithfulness of God.

Everlasting Is the Past

Updated with eleven new stories and meditations, this Gold Medallion–winning classic interweaves vivid stories, deep meditations, and provocative allegories that together explore the power and meaning of love within an often inhumane urban landscape. The opening chapter, "Ragman," remains one of Walter Wangerin Jr.'s most beloved works and leads the reader to thirty–three other writings, all bearing the author's trademark poignancy and lyricism. Ranging from gentle reflections to heart–rending invocations, these selections are powerful, thought–provoking explorations of the meaning of faith, the person of Christ, and the communion of believers. Again and again, Wangerin's cries of faith touch our deepest pains with rays of joyful healing.

Easter Stories

A Bíblia como jamais foi contada. É comum lermos a Bíblia como quem consulta uma caixinha de promessas ou como quem abre um biscoito da fortuna num restaurante chinês. Raras vezes lemos os 66 livros da Bíblia de ponta a ponta. Esta leitura devocional e fragmentada da Bíblia tende sempre a ofuscar nossa percepção da narrativa única e linear que corre por toda a história humana. O livro de Deus permite-nos esta visão. Nesta obra, Walter Wangerin descreve a história de um amor que atordoa a imaginação: o amor de Deus por seu povo. O autor se concentra no relato da intervenção de Deus na história do mundo e descreve o panorama geral do envolvimento íntimo de Deus com a raça humana. Wangerin submete seus consideráveis talentos à pressuposição básica de que as Sagradas Escrituras são essencialmente o que dizem ser: a Palavra de Deus. O resultado é uma obra que já nasce clássica. Jamais nos esqueceremos dos olhos de Abraão, dos cabelos de Jesus durante seu batismo e da paixão de Deus que se volta incessantemente às suas criaturas.

O livro de Deus

From National Book Award-winning author Walter Wangerin, Jr. comes the thought-provoking sequel to The Book of the Dun Cow, with new and revised content. “[A] profoundly imagined and beautifully stylized fable of the immemorial war between good and evil.” –The New York Times “A beautifully written fantasy anchored starkly in reality.” –The Washington Post Seeking peace and respite after their devastating battle with the Wyrm, Chauntecleer and his wife Pertelote again lead the animals of the Coop. But their quest is interrupted when Wyrm once again insinuates himself into the lives of the animals. To defeat this ancient evil for good, Chauntecleer will have to face Wyrm again, not on the battlefield, but deep within the serpent’s lair, risking his very soul to ensure the safety of the animals under his protection. “[A] fine book about the way evil enters the world, and this newly told story of Chaunticleer is one that details the loss of his innocence, of his love and of his God.” –The Houston Chronicle

The Second Book of the Dun Cow

Chacun d'entre nous - croyant, agnostique ou athée - de culture judéo-chrétienne " connaît " la Bible. Mais rares sont ceux qui l'ont réellement lue, malgré tous les efforts des traducteurs et exégètes pour nous la rendre accessible. Walter Wangerin, dans une entreprise tout à fait originale dont le plus grand mérite est de respecter le sens du sacré, réécrit le Livre de Dieu, par essence polyphonique, sous forme de roman historique, avec une continuité chronologique. Ce volume nous conduit sur les pas de Jésus, celui que les prophètes annonçaient comme le Messie, point de départ d'une nouvelle alliance.
