Print: $7.73 Download: $1.75 "I grew up in a household groaning with books," begins the author in this literary look at the Gospel of Luke.
In this pithy overview of the third Synoptic Gospel, readers board Doctor Luke's literary locomotive and hurtle down the track toward Pentecost and beyond. Along the way, we see blue in a white world, paint in Sunday schooled watercolors, hide in a closet, stumble over a threshold, tug at the wrong sleeve, and eventually discover the place where fidgety five year-olds find welcome and rest.
It all begins with a book that perhaps means little, if anything, unless...

Print: $7.95 Download: $2.25 Is anyone at home in the universe? asks the author in this probing work which visits the ancient conflict between Good and Evil, tragedy and triumph, unanswered prayer, sin, and the impending death of a friend from a terminal disease.
If Someone is home, the book continues, who is he? And if he’s really in charge, then what in the Sam Hill is going on here?
In this brief but pithy personal narrative, author Kristine K. Lowder explores these and other cosmological questions by taking readers to a summer spray pool, camp, an archery lesson, the Washington state coast, ancient Aztec civilization, and brief forays into Robert Frost, Shakespeare, Pilgrim’s Progress, the legend of William Tell, and Mother Goose.
The bulk of this book was written in less than a week, but potential answers—from a lay person’s perspective and often nuanced in song—may reverberate much longer.

These and other relational questions are explored in McFriends, a probing new novella by Kristine K. Lowder. Set in the gentle Hill Country of south-central Texas, McFriends also examines "drive-thru" relationships and "fast food friends," showing why both leave us hungry and unsated.
"An amazing writer! I have to praise the author's gift for description and her command of the language! She's also terrific with dialogue and conveying emotion." -- Denise Cassino, Long Story Short
