GOD LAUGHS & PLAYS
Churchless Sermons in Response to the Preachments of the Fundamentalist Right
Bill McKibben in Resurgence: “This is the book for everyone who is allergic to what often passes for Christianity but attracted to Jesus. Beautifully written and wonderfully, humorously, deeply felt... Duncan is a scandal both to the institutional church and to secular snobs: a truly dangerous man.”
THE HEART OF THE MONSTER
WHY THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN ROCKIES MUST NOT BECOME AN EXXON MOBILE CONDUIT TO THE ALBERTA TAR SANDS - WITH RICK BASS
Terry Tempest Williams: “David Duncan and Rick Bass have raised their pens as swords and taken on the megalords with their megaloads associated with the tar sands fantasy, a nightmare too close, too real for comfort. May we not only sit still and read this landmark book but rise up in outrage and indignation. This act of writing is an act of civil resistance through brilliant storytelling.”
