Christian publishing is always an attempt to make the great

ideas of the faith concrete—to archive, to transmit, to mobi-

lize. An inheritor of that legacy, Likewise books seeks to bindthought to deed, to irrevocably link together the contempla-

tive life and the active life. Likewise authors are not merely

thoughtful, nor are they merely active. They choose the more

difcult path of reecting in real time, of facing the complexity

of contemporary life square on while drawing repeatedly on theinspiration of the Scriptures, the wisdom of the ages and the

fellowship of the faithful.

The complex questions and difcult scenes presented in the

following books are meant to take you to the margins of theChristian community—where authentic work and witness are

very much alive.
